Al Fakher Grapefruit with Mint is a hookah tobacco blend of tart grapefruit and cool mint, pairing a bright citrus bite with a clean, refreshing finish.
Flavor build: Grapefruit leads immediately with a sharp, zesty top note that reads like fresh citrus peel and juice rather than candy. As the bowl settles in, the fruit body becomes fuller and slightly sweeter, while the natural pith-like bitterness stays restrained and keeps the profile from turning sugary. The mint note sits underneath as a cooling accent, lifting the inhale and tightening the finish without drowning out the grapefruit. Al Fakher positions it as “fresh flavors of citrus with cool mint notes,” and the balance tracks that description when heat is kept steady: citrus first, mint as a supporting layer. Sweetness is medium, tartness is medium-high, and overall intensity is medium, with the cleanest definition showing at moderate heat.
Session behavior: Once warmed through, this shisha flavor produces dense clouds and a smooth draw with a crisp aftertaste. It holds its structure well over a full session, and the mint helps the finish stay clean even on longer pulls. Heat tolerance is solid, but overheating early can flatten the grapefruit’s brighter edge and make the bowl taste more generally sweet. Gradual heat increases preserve the sour-citrus snap and keep the mint from feeling too sharp.
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, pull heat back briefly, rotate coals, then step back up in small increments to restore the grapefruit bite. Hookah.com highlights ripe grapefruit sweetness with a touch of sour citrus and cooling mint, and that profile shows best when you avoid big heat swings.
Mixing suggestions:
-
Lemon to push the citrus sharper and drier while keeping grapefruit as the lead.
-
Orange to round the edges and add a softer citrus sweetness behind the grapefruit.
-
Mint (light ratio) if you want extra cooling without changing the core grapefruit character.
Overall, Al Fakher Grapefruit with Mint hookah tobacco delivers tart grapefruit supported by cool mint for a dense-cloud session that stays crisp, balanced, and stable under controlled heat.
