Trifecta Enigma Black is a dark-leaf hookah tobacco blend of sweet citrus, mixed berries, and aromatic basil.
Flavor build: The bowl opens with bright, sweet citrus that hits first and stays lively on the inhale, then rolls into a darker berry layer that adds body and a slightly jammy depth. Basil comes through as the defining back note: earthy, green, and faintly peppery, more like a fresh herb leaf than a perfume-like floral. Sweetness is medium, tartness is medium, and the herbal finish keeps the profile from drifting into a simple candy fruit. As heat settles, the citrus stays zesty, the berries thicken the mid-palate, and the basil becomes clearer on the exhale, giving the whole mix a structured, “fruit plus herb” balance rather than a generic fruit blend.
Session behavior: Expect dense clouds and a full-bodied feel typical of Trifecta’s dark-leaf line, with flavor that remains steady through re-heats when heat is managed gradually. Intensity reads medium-to-strong in overall presence, with the citrus staying crisp and the basil keeping the finish clean even later in the session. If you push heat too hard, the herbal note can turn drier and the citrus can sharpen, so controlled heat tends to deliver the smoothest, most layered bowl.
Packing & heat tips: A phunnel bowl with a medium pack works well for keeping the berry body thick while preserving the citrus top note. Leave a small gap under foil or an HMD to maintain airflow and reduce the chance of the basil tasting too “green” from excess heat. Start at moderate heat, let it come up slowly, then fine-tune by coal placement rather than adding extra coals. This flavor rewards stability more than spikes.
Mixing suggestions:
-
Grapefruit to sharpen the citrus side and make the finish drier and brighter.
-
Lemon for extra lift that keeps the basil crisp and the berries lighter.
-
Grape to deepen the dark-fruit body while staying compatible with the herbal back note.
-
Vanilla to round the edges and soften the herb finish without hiding the citrus.
Overall, Trifecta Enigma Black hookah tobacco is a layered sweet citrus, mixed berry, and basil blend that delivers dense smoke, a smooth pull, and strong flavor stability across re-heats.
