Al Fakher Citrus with Mint is a hookah tobacco blend of orange, grapefruit, and mint, delivering a sweet-sour citrus profile with a subtle cooling layer.
Flavor build: Orange sets the base with a rounded, juicy sweetness, while grapefruit adds a brighter, slightly pithy bite that keeps the citrus from tasting flat. The mint is present throughout as a restrained cooling note, tightening the finish and lifting the inhale without turning the bowl mint-forward. Sweetness lands at medium, tartness at medium, and overall intensity at medium, with the clearest separation between orange and grapefruit showing when heat stays steady. As the session settles in, the citrus reads smoother and more “blended,” while the mint continues to keep the aftertaste clean.
Session behavior: Citrus with Mint builds quickly once the bowl is evenly warmed and produces dense clouds in the familiar Al Fakher style. The flavor stays stable through longer pulls, with mint helping prevent the citrus from feeling heavy late-session. Heat tolerance is solid, but big heat spikes can mute the sharper grapefruit edge and leave a softer orange sweetness, so gradual adjustments preserve the bright, zesty character that Al Fakher highlights for this flavor.
Packing & heat tips: Use a killer bowl with a fluffy-to-medium pack, keeping the tobacco just under the rim to maintain airflow and avoid hot spots. Start on moderate heat and let the bowl come up evenly before adding more. If the citrus starts to taste muted or overly sweet, pull heat back briefly and rotate coals to bring the grapefruit bite back, then step up in small increments.
Mixing suggestions:
-
Lemon to sharpen the citrus and make the finish drier while keeping the original blend in front.
-
Orange to emphasize the sweeter side and soften the grapefruit bite.
-
Grapefruit to push a brighter, more pithy citrus profile without changing the direction.
-
Light mint (small ratio) if you want extra cooling while keeping the citrus dominant.
Overall, Al Fakher Citrus with Mint hookah tobacco combines orange and grapefruit with a controlled mint coolness for dense clouds, a clean finish, and stable flavor clarity under steady heat.
