Al Fakher Mint

This is the classic standard by which all mint shisha flavors are judged. This is the perfect balance and blend of minty flavor; a cooling effect and a good tobacco strength. Your personal preference may gravitate to more or less any of these attributes: flavor, cooling, nicotine strength. However the hookah community has spoken and has decreed this is the best place to start your mint shisha journey of discovery.

Here is another extra strong peppermint with intense cooling from the menthol. This is available as a medium-nicotine flavor in the Gold Azure line and you can kick up the buzz with the dark leaf shisha in Azure Black Rio Mint.

Azure Bermuda Mint

A refreshing blend of mints. Not too much peppermint, not too much spearmint…just a great blend of mint. I would recommend the Azure Gold line for a bowl all on its own. But, if you want to add a refreshing splash of mint with an extra kick, go for the dark leaf. The choice is yours.

This flavor comes in three varieties and they all have some of the strongest menthol chill on the market. The flavor has some sweetness, and just like the brand name, you get a mild nicotine content with “Pure” flavor that tastes like a premium product. Check our video review of Pure FML. 

Trifecta shisha tobaccoTrifecta shisha tobacco

Trifecta Twice The Ice

This is a strong menthol forward mint prepared primarily for the cooling sensation it adds to the smoke. This has a sweet flavor but not a rich minty-ness. It’s all about the cold-throat feel. Expect a medium-to-strong nicotine strength depending on your heat level with your charcoal.

Trifecta Twice The Ice X

Since the arms race for the coldest mint shisha ever took off…Twice the Ice Xtreme was released for the most extremely possible chilling effect.  A great mixer, and a must-have at any lounge, it’s not the best for a bowl of 100% “death by ice”. Expect a medium to strong nicotine strength, depending on your heat level with your coals.

Trifecta Death By Ice

You get the ice cold smoke of Twice the Ice X but within a dark leaf tobacco; so you get a higher nicotine content and more tobacco undertones.

Tangiers shisha tobaccoTangiers shisha tobacco

Tangiers Cane Mint

The granddaddy of all powerful mints. This is a strong peppermint blast that’s very cold. Each inhale is colder and colder not to mention it’s coming from a high-nicotine content tobacco. This mint is a global sensation with die-hard fans. You can get this in the classic Noir Tangiers, with extra strong nicotine in the Burley line, or the smoother experience of the Birquq Tangiers.

Fumari shisha tobaccoFumari shisha tobacco

Fumari Sweet Mint

If you want a nice bowl of sweet shisha flavor and a refreshing mint flavor this is a great option. Imagine a mojito but without the lime! This has a mild nicotine strength but with more heat you can get a little more buzz.

Looking for mint with a buzz? Eclipse Elara is a strong mint with a bold menthol cooling effect in a dark leaf shisha that is amped up with a dash of dokha to really give it a kick.
