Al Fakher Grape with Berry is a hookah tobacco blend of juicy grapes and tart blackberry, built as a layered fruit profile that stays bright without turning candy-heavy.
Flavor build: The opening pulls are grape-forward, with a smooth, rounded sweetness that reads clean and familiar. As the bowl settles, the berry side becomes clearer, adding a darker fruit tone and a mild tartness that tightens the finish. Al Fakher describes the profile as “the goodness of grapes blended with the tartness of berries,” while Hookah.com specifically frames it as white grape sweetness paired with blackberry tartness. In-session, that balance comes across as medium-high sweetness with medium tartness, and an overall intensity that sits medium: flavorful enough for a solo bowl, but not so bold that it overwhelms mixes.
Session behavior: Once heat is established, this shisha flavor produces dense clouds and a smooth draw with a stable fruit character. The grape note tends to stay consistent throughout, while the blackberry edge is most noticeable at moderate heat where the blend keeps its sweet-tart contrast. If the bowl is pushed too hot early, the berry nuance can flatten and the profile can drift toward softer sweetness, so it rewards steady heat and small adjustments.
Packing & heat tips: Use a killer bowl with a fluffy-to-medium pack, keeping the tobacco just under the rim to preserve airflow. Start on moderate heat and let the bowl warm evenly before adding more. If the flavor starts tasting muted or overly sweet, pull heat back briefly and rotate coals to bring the sharper berry edge back, then step heat up gradually.
Mixing suggestions:
-
Lemon to sharpen the berry tartness and keep the finish cleaner.
-
Mint in a light ratio for lift and a brighter aftertaste without burying the grape.
-
Vanilla to round the tart edge and make the grape feel fuller and smoother.
-
Grapefruit to add a slightly drier citrus bite that complements blackberry.
Overall, Al Fakher Grape with Berry hookah tobacco balances grape sweetness with blackberry tartness for dense clouds, clear sweet-tart structure, and reliable stability under controlled heat.
