What is hookah tobacco? Does it contain nicotine? How is the "brown gold" made? And are there different types available for purchase? We've summarized the most important info for you.

What is hookah tobacco?

Without hookah tobacco, there is no session – but what exactly makes hookah tobacco special? This tobacco, made specifically for use in hookahs, is specially manufactured to provide the best possible flavor experience when smoking your hookah.

It’s combined with a variety of flavors – from classic flavors like double apple to custom-blended tobacco varieties from your favorite rappers, such as Massiv’s Al Massiva tobacco or the 187 tobacco by the Hamburg-based 187 Strassenbande. There are incredible many different flavors available in Moze’s hookah tobacco shop.

How is hookah tobacco made?

Most hookah smokers don't know much about the production of hookah tobacco, but it's quite interesting how the tobacco is made and where it comes from. In short, the production process runs through the following steps:

  • The raw tobacco is dried and cut to the right size.
  • Next, liquid sugar and glycerin are added – this gives the tobacco its typical slightly sticky consistency.
  • Then, the tobacco is enriched with the desired flavors.
  • A resting phase follows, during which the tobacco is stirred occasionally.
  • After this phase, the finished hookah tobacco is packed and shipped.
✔️ Good to know: Some hookah tobacco varieties are even made in Germany – or at least their base. Virginia tobacco is grown in Bavaria: this is the raw tobacco used by most manufacturers for hookahs.

Once all these steps are completed, the hookah tobacco is distributed to wholesalers and shops, so it’s ready for you to purchase. Depending on the base tobacco used, there are different types of hookah tobacco, which you’ll learn more about next.

Types of Hookah Tobacco

The key distinction between different types of hookah tobacco lies in their base tobacco. This is the base, the raw tobacco for hookahs, to which different flavors are added.

The raw tobacco of hookah tobacco has a significant impact on the flavor – because flavors can develop very differently depending on the base used. The two main types are Virginia tobacco and Burley tobacco. While Virginia is used in most blends, Burley is only used in slightly stronger varieties of tobacco.

Virginia tobacco is known for being milder, yet still having high flavor intensity. This base tobacco is an all-rounder and is suitable for any hookah smoker. It’s popular with both beginners and advanced smokers.

On the other hand, Burley tobacco is the base for stronger tobacco blends. It’s often imported from Russia, where there’s a much greater expertise in this area. This is because it has long been customary to use this type of tobacco for hookah tobacco in Russia.

  • Successful brands available in Germany include Darkside Tobacco and Blackburn Shisha Tobacco.
  • If you’ve never smoked dark Burley tobacco in your hookah, you should start slowly with blends of Virginia and Burley, to avoid getting a nicotine rush from the stronger tobacco.

The Nicotine Content of Hookah Tobacco

Wondering about the nicotine content of hookah tobacco? It's not always the same. The amount of nicotine varies depending on the base tobacco used.

Light Virginia tobacco is repeatedly washed and pressed during its processing, which removes the nicotine content and makes the tobacco milder. What does this mean exactly?

20g of Virginia tobacco (i.e., one full hookah bowl) contains about 10 mg of nicotine – still less than the 13 mg of nicotine that a single cigarette can contain.

The stronger Darkblend hookah tobacco is for those who like it a bit more intense. You can tell by the name: this is a blend of different dark tobacco varieties like Burley or Orient. Unlike Virginia tobacco, the dark tobacco is not washed, which makes it more intense. This is also reflected in the nicotine content:

Depending on the variety, the nicotine content of Darkblend tobacco ranges from 3 to 4%, which makes these hookah tobacco varieties more suitable for advanced hookah enthusiasts.

Generally speaking: Since hookah tobacco is mixed with molasses, it contains less nicotine than cigarettes. However, if you'd like to avoid nicotine altogether, there’s no nicotine-free tobacco, but there are different alternatives.

✔️ You can find a selection of hookah tobacco without nicotine here.
