Al Fakher Shisha Molasses 1 kg

Al Fakher Shisha Molasses 1 kg is a 1 kg tub of hookah tobacco, listed at AED 155 on POD Shop. It is made from blonde leaf tobacco mixed with molasses, glycerin and flavour, and it is smoked with coals in a hookah pipe. This is not a vape, not an e-liquid and not a disposable: it is traditional shisha tobacco from Al Fakher, the best-known shisha brand in the world, and the 1 kg tub is the size for regular shisha smokers and for gatherings.

Al Fakher has been the default shisha tobacco in the UAE for years, and the reason is consistency. The blonde leaf is mild, the molasses keeps the tobacco moist and the smoke smooth, and the flavours are the ones shisha smokers in Dubai already know: Two Apples, the classic double apple; Grape and Grape with Mint; Mint and Gum with Mint; and the fruit flavours Kiwi, Watermelon, Blueberry, Orange and Lemon Mint. A 1 kg tub lasts a long time for home use, and it is the economical size compared with buying small packs again and again.

Flavours in the 1 kg tub

Eleven flavours are listed for this 1 kg tub: Two Apples, Grape, Grape with Mint, Kiwi, Watermelon, Blueberry, Orange, Gum, Mint, Gum with Mint and Lemon Mint. Two Apples is the classic shisha flavour and the one most smokers start with. Grape and Grape with Mint are the other traditional choices, and Mint and Gum with Mint are the cool, fresh options. Kiwi, Watermelon, Blueberry, Orange and Lemon Mint cover the fruit side, and Gum is the sweet, minty flavour that is often mixed with fruit flavours. You pick your flavour when you order, and the tub holds 1 kg of that flavour.

How shisha molasses is used

Shisha molasses is smoked in a hookah pipe, not in a vape device. The tobacco is packed loosely into the bowl of the pipe, covered with foil or a heat management device, and heated with charcoal coals placed on top. The smoke travels through the water in the base of the pipe and out through the hose. The blonde leaf in this tobacco is mild, at around 0.05% nicotine, and the molasses and glycerin produce the thick smoke that shisha is known for. A session lasts as long as the coals stay hot, and the flavour is strongest in the first part of the session. Shisha tobacco is for adults aged 18 and over only.

Choosing the right one

Choose this 1 kg tub if you smoke shisha regularly at home or you host shisha sessions and you want the best-known brand in the largest home size. Pick Two Apples if you want the classic flavour, Grape or Grape with Mint for the traditional fruit choice, Mint for a cool session, or Kiwi, Watermelon, Blueberry, Orange or Lemon Mint for a fruit flavour. If you want a shisha-flavoured disposable vape instead of real hookah tobacco, the Al Fakher Crown Bar disposables on POD Shop are the vape alternative from the same brand. If you want shisha tobacco in a smaller size, check the other Al Fakher listings.

Who it suits

This tub suits adult shisha smokers in the UAE who smoke at home or host friends and want a full kilogram of Al Fakher tobacco in one tub. It suits people who already own a hookah pipe and know how to pack a bowl and manage coals, and people who smoke shisha often enough that a 1 kg tub makes sense. It does not suit anyone looking for a vape, an e-liquid or a disposable, because this is hookah tobacco, and it is for adults aged 18 and over only.

How to use

To use shisha molasses, pack the tobacco loosely into the bowl of your hookah pipe, leaving space at the top so the foil or heat management device does not touch the tobacco. Cover the bowl with foil, poke small holes in it, and place lit charcoal coals on top. Fill the base of the pipe with water, attach the hose, and draw slowly through the hose. The smoke will travel through the water and out through the hose. Replace the coals when they burn down, and dispose of used coals and tobacco safely. Keep the tub sealed, store it in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.

Al Fakher and shisha in the UAE

Al Fakher is the best-known shisha tobacco brand in the UAE, and it has been the default choice in cafes and homes for years. Two Apples is the classic flavour that most shisha smokers start with, and it is the flavour that defines Al Fakher for many people. Grape, Mint and the fruit flavours are the other traditional choices, and the 1 kg tub is the size for home use and for gatherings, where a small pack would run out too quickly. To smoke shisha molasses you need a hookah pipe, charcoal coals and foil or a heat management device: the tobacco goes in the bowl, the coals go on top, and the smoke travels through the water in the base and out through the hose. A session is a slow, social thing, and the flavour is strongest in the first part of the session. Shisha tobacco is for adults aged 18 and over only, and it contains tobacco, so it should be stored sealed in a cool, dry place and kept out of reach of children.
