Is there a Hookaze hookah tobacco?

Yes and no. Hookaze does not have its own hookah tobacco brand, but the influencer is very active in the scene and is frequently asked for their opinion when it comes to the development of tobacco flavours.

For Blackburn, Hookaze was significantly involved in developing two varieties for the German market. Top Ze and Roze T have both been released on the German market and are very special tobacco varieties. Roze T is a combination of black tea and the floral notes of rose blossoms. Top Ze tastes like a delicious herbal sweet with mint.
