Shisha Flavors
Shisha tobacco comes in many flavors. In fact, the flavor distinguishes shisha tobacco from the flavorless regular tobacco found in cigarettes.
Basic Flavors
The most common type of shisha flavors is fruit flavors, and among fruit flavors, the most common flavors are apple, strawberry, lemon, mango, watermelon, sweet melon and lychee. Berry flavors such as blackberry, raspberry and wild berry are just as popular.
Outside fruit flavors, the three common shisha flavor categories are mint, spicy and sweet.
The common mint flavors are spearmint and lemon & mint. The two most common spicy flavors are aniseed and cardamom. Sweet flavors in popular use include bubblegum, vanilla, honey, melon, cola, liquorice and sweet candy.
Of late, there is a growing propensity towards herbal shisha, probably owing to the realization that a single hookah session is equal to inhaling 200 cigarettes.
