Mint Hookah Tobacco - Probably the Most Popular Ingredient in Hookah Tobacco?

There is no doubt that mint hookah tobacco is one of the most popular flavors. The trend seems to be unwavering, with many manufacturers incorporating the mint note into more and more tobacco varieties.

In mid-2020, a law came into effect that prohibits the sale of hookah tobacco with menthol flavors. This caused a significant disruption in the market, as about 40-60% of all tobacco varieties were affected. So, how did the market react to this ban? Simply put: Since only ready-to-smoke tobacco is affected by this regulation, mint and menthol shots were created. Now, you just need to buy a mint shot in addition to the tobacco and mix it in to enjoy the familiar flavor again. Additionally, some manufacturers have worked on flavors with new chemical compositions that are no longer affected by the rule and can be sold as ready-to-smoke products!

What are the best pure mint hookah tobacco flavors?

There are only a few pure hookah tobacco flavors with mint or menthol taste, as the flavor is usually used to add a slightly refreshing note to a variety. However, if you want the full mint experience, there are still a few flavors that will satisfy your craving.


Enhance Your Hookah Tobacco with a Mint Shot!

No matter which hookah tobacco you order, mint shots allow you to add a refreshing mint note to any of the flavors. This means you can create your own mint tobacco mix! Just mix a little of the mint shot with the tobacco, and it works wonders on the flavor!

✔️ By the way: The shots contain no nicotine! This means that you won't make your hookah tobacco stronger with them, only adding the flavor!


Mint vs. Menthol - What's the Difference?

The difference between mint and menthol isn't immediately obvious, as both flavors bring a certain freshness to hookah tobacco and taste somewhat similar. However, the difference is quite simple to explain. When someone talks about mint, they are referring to the plant itself. When someone mentions menthol, they are referring to the substance that is found in mint. Menthol is an aromatic, organic compound that gives the sweet-spicy flavor. But not every mint contains the same amount of menthol. There are also variations in the amount of menthol. Furthermore, the intensity depends on the level of menthol.
