The Refreshing Profile of Afzal Ice Gum Mint
What sets Afzal Ice Gum Mint apart from standard mint flavors is its complex layering. While many brands offer a singular mint note, Afzal has meticulously crafted a profile that evolves throughout your smoke session. Upon the initial inhale, your palate is greeted by the familiar, playful notes of sweet gum—reminiscent of the pink bubblegum from your childhood. As the smoke settles, a sharp, herbaceous mint begins to emerge, cutting through the sweetness to provide balance. Finally, the "Ice" element takes over on the exhale, leaving a lingering cooling sensation in the back of the throat that makes every puff feel as fresh as the first.
This product is part of our extensive 250g Pipe Tobacco Tins and shisha collection, offering a substantial amount of tobacco for those who have found their "all-day smoke." The moisture content is expertly calibrated, ensuring that the molasses and glycerin are perfectly absorbed into the premium tobacco leaves, resulting in the thick, milky clouds that Afzal is world-renowned for.
Why Choose Afzal Shisha Tobacco?
Afzal has established itself as a global leader in the hookah industry, originating from India and capturing the hearts of smokers across the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Their secret lies in the quality of the raw materials. Using only the finest hand-picked tobacco leaves, Afzal ensures a low-nicotine but high-flavor experience. The Ice Gum Mint flavor is a testament to their innovation, blending traditional Middle Eastern shisha craftsmanship with modern, high-intensity cooling agents.
Key Features of the 250g Tin:
-
Long-Lasting Flavor: The 250g size is vacuum-sealed to maintain the integrity of the essential oils and flavorings, ensuring the last bowl tastes as vibrant as the first.
-
Superior Cloud Production: Formulated for high heat resistance, this tobacco produces dense, white clouds that are perfect for smoke tricks and a visually satisfying experience.
-
Versatile Mixing: While incredible on its own, Ice Gum Mint is a legendary mixer. It pairs beautifully with fruit-forward blends found in our Berry Flavored Tobacco collection or even citrus and floral notes.
-
Consistent Cut: The tobacco is finely chopped and stripped of excess stems, making it easy to pack in any style of hookah bowl, from Egyptian clay to modern phunnel bowls.
The Art of Packing Ice Gum Mint for Maximum Performance
To get the most out of your Afzal Ice Gum Mint Hookah Shisha Tobacco, the packing method is crucial. We recommend a "fluff pack" to allow for optimal airflow between the leaves. Because this is a blonde leaf tobacco, it handles heat exceptionally well but performs best when the heat is managed consistently. Using three natural coconut coals on a heat management device (HMD) or foil will unlock the deep sweetness of the gum while intensifying the icy mint notes.
If you enjoy the cooling properties of this blend, you might also be interested in exploring our Aromatic Pipe Tobacco Collection, which features various blends designed to provide a pleasant room note and a smooth, flavorful draw. The Ice Gum Mint specifically leaves a crisp, pleasant scent in the air, making it a favorite for social gatherings where a heavy, "earthy" tobacco smell might be unwanted.
Flavor Synergy and Mixing Recommendations
One of the reasons the 250g tin is so popular is its utility as a "base" for custom mixes. If you want to experiment with your flavor profile, consider these professional mixing tips:
The "Icy Orchard" Mix
Combine 60% Afzal Ice Gum Mint with 40% of a crisp apple flavor from our Apple Flavored Tobacco range. The sweetness of the apple complements the bubblegum, while the ice mint provides a refreshing finish that mimics a chilled fruit cider.
The "Cool Forest" Mix
Mix equal parts Ice Gum Mint with a tart blueberry or raspberry blend. The cooling effect of the mint elevates the natural acidity of the berries, creating a sophisticated, multi-dimensional smoke that isn't overly sweet.

The Evolution of the "Ice" Series
Afzal was one of the first major manufacturers to perfect the "Ice" line of shisha. Unlike traditional mint, which can sometimes have an earthy or spicy undertone, the "Ice" series focuses on a pure, crystalline cooling effect. This is achieved through a proprietary blend of menthol crystals and cooling agents that do not degrade under the high temperatures of hookah coals. The Ice Gum Mint is the crown jewel of this series, providing a bridge between the candy-flavor lovers and the mint-purists.
For those who prefer different formats of tobacco or are looking for bulk options for other smoking needs, we invite you to browse our Cigarette Cartons & Filtered Cigars or our specialized 50g Pipe Tobacco Packs for smaller sampling sizes. However, for the dedicated hookah enthusiast, the 250g tin of Afzal remains the gold standard for value and quality.
