Hookah flavors are made of finely cut tobacco, glycerine, honey/ molasses, flavoring agent, or even semi-dried fruit pulp. Tobacco and molasses/ flavoring bases blend in a 3:7 ratio with gentle variations and produce a perfect mu’assel.  Traditional shisha flavor makes use of dark leaf and blonde/ brown leaf tobacco. They are processed to create different levels of nicotine that induce buzz: 1. Washed shisha: Treated with water (by soaking or boiling). Less buzz 2. Unwashed shisha: Directly mix with the base and treat under pressurized heat. Strong buzz Whereas tobacco-free flavors include organic herbs, bagasse, steam stones, and flavored gels.
