SAYes Tobacco

SAYes hookah tobacco: strong dark blend from Germany

SAYes! is a dark blend hookah tobacco from Germany. According to the manufacturer, SAYes! is the only brand in Germany produced entirely using Russian production processes. It's based on a selected burley blend from Italy that gets its distinctive taste from careful processing and gentle toasting. The manufacturer sums it up like this: Italian Burley, Russian Dark Blend Process, Made in Germany.

The result is an intense dark blend with dense smoke and long-lasting flavor, with tobacco and taste nicely in balance. According to the manufacturer, its strength sits roughly between Blackburn and MUST H.

What makes SAYes! tobacco special?

The leaves for SAYes! are gently toasted. Toasting is meant to deepen the flavors and reduce bitterness. Many of the flavors used in SAYes! are very subtle, for example Spayz with mango, passion fruit, lychee and rose, or Eldery Ti with white tea and elderflower. These subtle floral nuances in particular benefit from the toasting.

On top of that comes the production process modeled on Russian dark blend. According to the manufacturer, the cooking process has been optimized so the tobacco carries flavor better. The flavors go a long way, hold their taste through the whole session and produce dense smoke. If you like the flavor profiles of Russian tobacco and you're looking for a bold dark blend, SAYes! is a good choice.

How strong is SAYes!?

According to the manufacturer, the strength of SAYes! should sit roughly between Blackburn and MUST H, leaning towards Blackburn. The optimized cooking process and the burley blend raise the strength a little. That makes SAYes! much stronger than Virginia tobacco and better suited to experienced dark blend smokers.

That said, how strong your session gets also depends on your bowl packing and heat. Depending on the bowl type and how you pack it, SAYes! gives you a balanced flavor profile or a noticeably stronger session. If you're coming straight from Virginia, start with about 10% SAYes! in your bowl and raise the share from session to session. That way you get used to the higher nicotine level without a nicotine rush spoiling your evening.

How do you pack the perfect bowl with SAYes!?

SAYes! is based on Italian burley tobacco. It handles heat well and is a good deal less sweet than Virginia. Fill the tobacco loosely into your bowl and spread it evenly, leaving a little space to the rim. Start with a little less heat at first and build up slowly, so the flavor opens up without the tobacco burning.

In a hookah phunnel the smoke turns soft and round. Pack it into one of our hookah multi-hole bowls and SAYes! comes through more intense and a bit stronger. If the strength is too much for you, try pressing the tobacco down very lightly next time, and it will smoke milder.
