The Legacy of Al Fakher: The World's #1 Shisha Brand
For decades, Al Fakher has maintained its position at the pinnacle of the hookah industry. Founded in the United Arab Emirates in 1999, the brand has expanded to over 100 countries, becoming synonymous with quality, consistency, and innovation. When you choose Al Fakher Apricot, you aren't just buying tobacco; you are investing in a heritage of excellence. The brand's commitment to using only the highest grade of blonde leaf tobacco ensures a lower nicotine content and a more approachable buzz, making it the go-to choice for social gatherings and long, relaxing evenings. As part of our Just Arrived: New Arrivals & Latest Trends collection, we ensure that our stock is always fresh, providing you with the moist, flavorful molasses that Al Fakher is famous for.
Flavor Profile: A Masterclass in Fruit Accuracy
The Al Fakher Apricot flavor is celebrated for its authenticity. Unlike many fruit-flavored tobaccos that lean into artificial, candy-like profiles, this blend captures the essence of a real, fuzzy-skinned apricot. Upon opening the package, you are greeted with a bright, stone-fruit aroma that is both floral and earthy. The inhale delivers a smooth, velvety smoke with a distinct sweetness reminiscent of dried apricots and honey. The exhale introduces a subtle tartness, providing a clean finish that prevents the flavor from becoming cloying. This complexity is what sets Al Fakher apart from its competitors, offering a multi-layered sensory experience that evolves throughout your session.
Why Choose Blonde Leaf Shisha?
Al Fakher utilizes a "blonde leaf" or "gold leaf" Virginia tobacco base. This type of tobacco is flue-cured, resulting in a lighter color and a milder flavor profile compared to dark leaf varieties. The benefits of blonde leaf include:
-
Lower Nicotine Content: Ideal for those who enjoy the flavor and clouds without an overwhelming head-buzz.
-
High Heat Tolerance: Blonde leaf is forgiving, making it easier to manage with various charcoal setups.
-
Pure Flavor Expression: The tobacco notes are subtle, allowing the apricot essence to shine through without interference.
-
Smooth Texture: Reduced throat hit ensures a comfortable session from start to finish.
Perfect Pairings and Mixology
While Al Fakher Apricot is a powerhouse on its own, its true strength lies in its versatility as a mixer. If you enjoy experimenting with your hookah bowl, consider these popular combinations:
-
The Orchard Mix: Combine Apricot with our Apple Flavored Tobacco for a crisp, multi-dimensional fruit blend.
-
Creamy Delight: Mix 70% Apricot with 30% Vanilla or Mint to create a "Peaches and Cream" style dessert smoke.
-
Tropical Twist: Blend with Orange or Pineapple for a bright, citrus-forward summer session.
-
Spiced Stone Fruit: Add a pinch of Cinnamon or Cardamom to bring out the deeper, jammy notes of the apricot.
Technical Specifications and Packaging Options
We understand that every hookah smoker has different needs, which is why we offer Al Fakher Apricot in various sizes to suit your lifestyle.

How to Pack the Perfect Bowl of Al Fakher Apricot
To get the most out of your Al Fakher shisha, the packing method is crucial. Because this is a standard-cut blonde leaf tobacco with a moderate juice content, we recommend the "Fluff Pack" method:
-
Aerate the Tobacco: Use a fork or your fingers to break up any clumps in the bag or tin. This ensures even heat distribution.
-
The Sprinkle: Gently sprinkle the tobacco into your bowl (Phunnel or Egyptian style) until it reaches just below the rim.
-
Avoid Overpacking: Do not press the tobacco down. Airflow is essential for producing those thick, white clouds Al Fakher is known for.
-
Heat Management: Use 2-3 natural coconut coals. Start with the coals on the edge of the bowl and move them inward as the session progresses to prevent scorching the delicate apricot sugars.
The Pursuit of Excellence: Quality Control
Al Fakher's manufacturing process is world-class. Each batch of Apricot shisha undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure the leaf-to-stem ratio is optimized and the moisture levels are precise. This dedication to quality ensures that every time you order from us, you receive a product that meets the high standards of the international hookah community. The tobacco is dyed a signature red (using food-grade coloring) to signify its rich infusion of molasses and glycerin, which are responsible for the massive cloud production.
Always Forward: The Future of Hookah
As the hookah industry evolves, Al Fakher continues to lead with bold flavors and big clouds. While they frequently release new "Mocktail" and "Lifestyle" lines, the classic fruit flavors like Apricot remain the foundation of their success. It is a flavor that transcends trends, offering a reliable and nostalgic experience that reminds us why we fell in love with hookah in the first place. By maintaining a focus on "The Pursuit of Excellence," Al Fakher ensures that their Apricot blend remains the benchmark against which all other fruit shishas are measured.
Customer Experience and Satisfaction
When you purchase your Al Fakher Apricot from our store, you are choosing a retailer that values authenticity. We source directly to ensure you never receive "gray market" or counterfeit products. Our customers frequently praise the Apricot flavor for its "all-day smokeability" and its ability to stay flavorful for over 90 minutes in a single session. If you are looking for a smooth, sweet, and slightly tart tobacco that performs consistently every time, look no further.
Storage Tips for Maximum Freshness
To preserve the delicate aromatic compounds in your apricot shisha, proper storage is key. Always keep your tobacco in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. While the 250g tubs are airtight, if you purchase 50g boxes, we recommend transferring the inner plastic pouch to a small glass jar or a zip-lock bag after opening. This prevents the molasses from drying out and ensures your last bowl is just as flavorful as your first.
