Darkside Core and Darkside Base indicate the strength of the tobacco. The taste of the Core and Base Line does not differ in general. However, the intensity of the nicotine is different. The Base Line is a little weaker than the Core Line and therefore better suited for Darkblend hookah tobacco beginners. Darkside tobacco is based in Russia and there are also different strengths. In Russia, instead of two strengths, there are even three. Darkside wanted to continue this system outside of Russia, but not in diversity. In order to start in Germany, the manufacturer first brought only the two weaker varieties, Base and Core, to Germany. In Russia, the Rare strength is also available, which has a slightly higher nicotine content.
Some of the most popular varieties include:
Please note that these are varieties that are smoked particularly often. Just because some varieties do not appear here does not mean they are bad.
As a rule, all types of tobacco are suitable for everyone, but when smoking for the first time, it is very important to make sure that the head construction is not too high. The higher the head is built, the more nicotine can be released. This gives the head an extremely strong effect and can lead to the famous nicotine flash.
With any dark blend hookah tobacco, beginners should note that it has a much stronger effect compared to conventional Virginia (light) tobacco. Should the nicotine flash set in, you should not immediately lose the fun of smoking. Entering the world of Darkblend tobacco, such as Darkside tobacco, is difficult at the beginning. We also had problems at the beginning and the tobacco was too strong for us, but after a while you get used to the higher nicotine content. Once you get used to it, you won't want to smoke anything else. The taste is much more intense than many Virginia tobaccos!
Now that you know more about Darkside tobacco and Darkblend tobacco in general, there's only one thing left to say: come to the dark side and treat yourself to Darkside hookah tobacco!
Yes, not directly from the Darkside brand. However, Darkside has a sub-brand called Starline, which we also carry in our hookah shop. Under this brand, the company sells Virginia hookah tobacco varieties with interesting flavours that are also worth trying.
In general, you can use any shisha tobacco bowl for your tobacco, but we have a few recommendations for Darkside tobacco. Darkside itself uses mainly multi-hole heads with a hookah smoke box at tastings and fairs, for example the Voskurimsya Mumiya or the UPG Standard. You can also purchase both heads in our shop and add them to your shopping cart when you place your next Darkside order. If you want to smoke the hookah tobacco in a phunnel, we recommend the Hookain LitLip or the Oblako Phunnel. The best thing to do is to click through our hookah bowls and see which model you like best.
