Al Fakher Grapefruit is a hookah tobacco blend of subtropical grapefruit, delivering a bold citrus profile with a distinctly citrusy aftertaste.
Flavor build: Grapefruit leads from the first pull with a bright peel-and-juice character that feels true to the fruit. It opens zesty and sharp, then settles into a juicier sweetness as the bowl warms, with a light pith-like bitterness that keeps the profile accurate instead of turning into generic candy. Al Fakher describes it as a strong subtropical grapefruit with a citrusy aftertaste, and Hookah.com emphasizes juicy sweetness undercut by a touch of classic sour citrus, which matches the way the flavor stays sweet-tart without becoming harsh when heat is steady. Sweetness sits at medium, tartness at medium-high, and overall intensity is medium-strong, especially in the first half of the session when the citrus top note is at its brightest.
Session behavior: This shisha flavor comes online quickly and produces dense, consistent clouds once the bowl is evenly heated. The smoke stays smooth at a controlled heat line, and the grapefruit remains defined through re-heats when you step heat back up gradually. If you push heat too hard early, the sharp citrus edge can flatten into softer sweetness and the bitter snap can feel more pronounced, so moderate, even heat preserves the “fresh grapefruit” clarity.
Packing & heat tips: Use a killer bowl with a fluffy-to-medium pack, keeping the hookah tobacco just under the rim to maintain airflow and avoid hot spots. Start on moderate heat, let the bowl warm evenly, then add small increases only if you want more bite from the citrus. If the flavor starts tasting overly bitter or muted, pull heat back briefly and rotate coals to reset the top note before stepping up again.
Mixing suggestions:
-
Pair with a mint flavor in a light ratio to sharpen the finish while keeping grapefruit dominant.
-
Mix with orange to round the tart edge into a sweeter citrus bowl.
-
Add berry to deepen the fruit body while grapefruit stays the bright top note.
-
Blend with vanilla to soften the sharpness and create a smoother, creamsicle-adjacent citrus profile without losing the grapefruit core.
Overall, Al Fakher Grapefruit hookah tobacco is a strong subtropical grapefruit shisha flavor with medium sweetness, medium-high tartness, dense clouds, and best clarity when packed fluffy in a killer bowl and kept on controlled heat.
