Experience the pinnacle of traditional hookah smoking with Afzal Double Apple Hookah Shisha Tobacco - 250g. As one of the most iconic and recognizable flavors in the world of shisha, the "Two Apple" or "Double Apple" blend is a staple for both novice enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs. Afzal, a world-renowned brand with deep roots in Indian tobacco heritage, has perfected this recipe to offer a sophisticated balance of sweet red apples, tart green apples, and that signature hint of anise (black licorice) that defines an authentic smoking experience. This 250g jar is designed for those who appreciate consistency, thick smoke clouds, and a flavor profile that remains true from the first coal to the last. Whether you are hosting a social gathering or enjoying a quiet evening, this premium blend from our Afzal Hookah Tobacco & Shisha Flavors range delivers the quality and heritage you expect from a global leader in the industry.
The Heritage of Afzal Double Apple Shisha
Afzal is not just another brand in the crowded hookah market; it is a legacy. Originating from India, a country with a rich history of tobacco cultivation and aromatic blending, Afzal has managed to capture the essence of traditional "Moassel" while incorporating modern manufacturing standards. The Afzal Double Apple flavor is their flagship offering, representing the perfect marriage of fruitiness and spice. Unlike many Western brands that focus solely on the candy-like sweetness of apples, Afzal stays true to the Middle Eastern and South Asian roots of hookah by emphasizing the aniseed notes. This creates a complex, multi-layered flavor that evolves throughout your session.
When you open a 250g jar of Afzal, you are greeted by a moist, finely cut tobacco that is saturated in high-quality molasses and natural flavorings. The aroma is immediately striking—a pungent, sweet, and slightly spicy scent that promises a robust session. This product is a highlight of our Apple Flavored Tobacco & Nicotine Products, standing out for its ability to provide a "throat hit" that is satisfying without being harsh, thanks to the premium Indian tobacco leaves used in the base mix.
Why Choose the 250g Jar Format?
For the regular hookah smoker, the 250g jar is the "Goldilocks" of packaging. It provides enough tobacco for approximately 15 to 20 sessions (depending on your bowl size and packing style), making it far more economical than smaller 50g packs. The resealable jar ensures that your tobacco remains fresh, moist, and flavorful for weeks, preventing the molasses from drying out and the flavor from fading. If you find yourself frequently reaching for the classic apple taste, upgrading to this larger size is a logical choice for both value and convenience. This size is a popular staple in our 250g Pipe Tobacco Tins and shisha collection, offering the perfect balance between bulk savings and freshness.

The Flavor Profile: Sweet, Tart, and Spicy
The magic of Afzal Double Apple lies in its complexity. Upon the inhale, your palate is first introduced to the sugary sweetness of ripe red apples. This is almost immediately followed by a refreshing, tart "zing" that mimics the skin of a Granny Smith apple. However, the true character of this blend comes through on the exhale. The aniseed—often compared to black licorice or fennel—provides a cooling, spicy finish that cleanses the palate and prepares you for the next puff. This specific combination is what makes Double Apple the most popular hookah flavor globally, and Afzal’s rendition is widely considered one of the most "authentic" versions available today.
For those who prefer a more traditional, "old-school" hookah experience, this blend is often smoked in a dedicated hookah pipe. Because the anise flavor is so strong, it can "ghost" or linger in the hose and stem of your hookah. Many enthusiasts keep a specific hookah just for Double Apple to ensure the flavor builds up over time, creating an even richer experience. If you enjoy these complex, aromatic notes, you might also be interested in exploring our Aromatic Pipe Tobacco Collection for other deeply scented tobacco options.
How to Pack the Perfect Bowl of Afzal Shisha
To get the most out of your Afzal Double Apple Hookah Shisha Tobacco, the packing method is crucial. Because Afzal uses a medium-fine cut, it is quite versatile, but we recommend a "fluff pack" for the best results. Simply sprinkle the tobacco into your bowl (a phunnel bowl or a traditional Egyptian clay bowl both work excellently) until it reaches just below the rim. Do not press it down too hard; you want air to be able to circulate through the leaves to vaporize the molasses evenly.
When it comes to heat management, Afzal is relatively heat-tolerant. Using 2 to 3 natural coconut coals is usually the sweet spot. Allow the bowl to heat up for 3-5 minutes before taking your first draw. This "pre-heating" phase allows the glycerin and molasses to reach the optimal temperature, ensuring that your first cloud is just as flavorful as your last. If you find the flavor too intense, you can mix Afzal Double Apple with a bit of mint or vanilla to soften the aniseed notes.
The Global Popularity of Afzal Tobacco
Afzal has earned its place in the global market by maintaining strict quality control and a commitment to traditional flavors. While many modern brands focus on "gimmick" flavors like gummy bears or blue raspberry, Afzal excels in the classics. Their Double Apple is a testament to this philosophy. It is a flavor that transcends borders, enjoyed in hookah lounges from Dubai to New York City. By choosing the 250g jar, you are investing in a product that has been refined over decades to meet the standards of the world’s most demanding smokers.
In addition to their world-class shisha, the craftsmanship involved in creating these blends is similar to the care found in premium pipe tobaccos.

Comparing Afzal to Other Brands
In the world of Double Apple, there are many contenders, but Afzal holds a unique position. Compared to Al Fakher, Afzal tends to have a slightly more "earthy" tobacco undertone and a more pronounced anise kick. Compared to Nakhla (the original heavy-hitter), Afzal is juicier and easier to pack, making it more accessible for modern hookah setups. It bridges the gap between the "traditional" dry leaf and the "modern" ultra-syrupy blends. This makes it a versatile choice for anyone looking to experience the true essence of shisha without the harshness often associated with older, drier brands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Afzal Double Apple strong?
In terms of flavor, yes—it is a bold, aromatic blend. In terms of nicotine buzz, it is considered medium. It provides a noticeable relaxation effect without being overwhelming for most regular smokers. If you are used to standard cigarette nicotine levels, you will find this very manageable.
How should I store my 250g jar?
Keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While the jar is airtight, extreme temperature fluctuations can cause the molasses to separate from the tobacco. A kitchen cabinet or a dedicated tobacco drawer is ideal.
Can I mix Afzal Double Apple with other flavors?
Absolutely! While it is a masterpiece on its own, many people love to create their own "house blends." Popular mixes include Double Apple with Mint, Double Apple with Cinnamon, or even Double Apple with a hint of Lemon. The 250g size gives you plenty of material to experiment with different ratios.
