Darkside tobacco is one of the most popular brands among dark blend enthusiasts. Only premium Burley raw tobacco is used for Darkside. This tobacco is expertly blended with the finest aromas in Russia, resulting in unique flavors. Currently, there are over 20 different Darkside hookah tobacco varieties available in Germany! Few other manufacturers offer such a diverse range of hookah tobacco flavors. In addition to classic flavors like grapefruit, banana, and orange, the brand also offers exotic varieties such as Needls, which is said to taste like pine needles!
Darkside Core and Darkside Base are the two product lines from the brand, differing in nicotine strength. However, the flavor remains the same between both variants. The Base Line is slightly milder than the Core Line, making it more suitable for dark blend beginners. In Russia, Darkside offers three strength levels instead of two. Initially, the brand planned to introduce this system outside of Russia but on a smaller scale. In Germany, they launched only the two lower-strength variants (Base and Core). Russia also has the Rare strength, which contains the highest nicotine content.
As mentioned earlier, Darkside offers a wide selection of flavors. Below is a detailed list of each variety and its flavor profile:

In general, all types of tobacco are suitable for every smoker. However, when smoking Darkside for the first time, it's important not to overpack the bowl. The more tobacco you use, the more nicotine is released. This can result in an extremely strong effect, sometimes referred to as a nicotine rush. This is especially crucial for tobaccos based on Burley or dark blend bases, like Darkside.
For beginners trying dark blend hookah tobacco, keep in mind that it is significantly stronger than Virginia-based tobacco. If you experience a nicotine rush, don't be discouraged! Entering the world of dark blend tobacco, like Darkside, can be challenging at first. We also struggled in the beginning and found Burley tobacco too strong, but over time, we adjusted to its higher nicotine content. Once you're used to it, you won’t want to smoke anything else. The flavor is far more intense and authentic than many Virginia tobacco varieties!
Yes and no—not directly under the Darkside name. However, the manufacturer has a sub-brand called Starline, which we also carry in our hookah shop. Under this brand, Darkside Hookah offers Virginia-based hookah tobacco varieties with exciting flavors that are also worth trying. You can find the Virginia tobacco from Starline here!
In general, you can use any hookah bowl for your tobacco, but we have a few recommendations specifically for Darkside tobacco. At tastings and exhibitions, Darkside primarily uses multi-hole bowls with a hookah smokebox, such as the Voskurimsya Mumiya or the UPG Standard. You can find both of these bowls in our shop, so you can add them to your cart along with your next Darkside order. Another great option is the Cosmo Bowls.
If you prefer smoking hookah tobacco in a phunnel, we recommend the Hookain LitLip or the Moze Epos. Feel free to browse through our hookah bowls to find the model that suits you best.
Now that you know everything about Darkside tobacco and dark blend tobacco in general, all that’s left to say is: Join the dark side and treat yourself to Darkside hookah tobacco! Thanks to the small 25g packs, you can easily try out different flavors. We carry all varieties of the brand—whether old or new—as we always stock the latest releases immediately!
Darkside tobacco is manufactured in Russia. The brand is the leading hookah tobacco producer there, especially when it comes to dark blend tobacco.
Darkside Core and Darkside Base differ in nicotine strength. However, the flavor remains the same between the Core and Base variants. The Base line is slightly milder than the Core line, making it more suitable for beginners in dark blend hookah tobacco.
Some of the most popular Darkside tobacco flavors include Darkside Hola (cola flavor), Kalee Grap (grapefruit flavor), and Barvy O (orange juice flavor).
To get the best smoking experience with Darkside tobacco, we recommend using a multi-hole bowl combined with a smokebox, ideally the Darkside Shot multi-hole bowl and the ONMO HMD. This setup ensures an optimal smoking session.
