NoDeadBodies Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Any organin/non artificial flavorings shisha brands out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Are you talking about tobacco-less shisha, as in Soex brand? Or just a brand that doesn't contain any chemicals? If the latter, I'm fairly certain virtually every brand uses artificial flavorings/glycerin in their tobacco to give them the taste, from what I heard from a buddy of mine who manufactures tobacco. Making tobacco with nothing but molasses/fruit/honey doesn't give a good taste, compared to using artifical alternatives. Someone feel free to correct me on this.

Onion Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Not that I've heard of. Lol, you're smoking as it is. I dont think organic tobacco is going to save your hyde in the long run :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 umm... organic shisha? Zaghoul is as close as you'll get, being nothing but tobacco and honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Zaghoul does not have have any honey in it, it has molasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 [quote name='Joseph']Zaghoul does not have have any honey in it, it has molasses.[/quote] sorry! my mistake, thats what i meant! Either way, thats as close to "organic" or "natural" as anyone can get, and it doesn't make it healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skimo Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yessir, Zag is a kick in the nutts compared to flavored shisha, a nice kick in the nutts though XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like how is the taste? Is it like a cigar? You all have got me fairly interested in it. Sorry for the somewhat thread highjack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Zag tastes like tobacco and molasses, Some people really don;t like it. I think tangiers said it tastes like sweaty raisens. Anyways,if you don't want additives then hookah isn;t for you. All flavored shisha has glycerol and flavorings. Or try tombac, thats a traditional hookah tobacco, so no flavorings or glycerol, deffinitley no additives. You can get it from hookahcompany.

Lakemonster Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Zag? tastes like chewin tobacco.... Red Man.... Beech Nut. ...Levi Garrett Organic usually refers to how something is grown.. without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and shit. Luckily, tobacco is a pesticide in itself.... but they are susceptable to a few bugs like Aphids and some Tobacco worms that are like catapillars..... several beetles. Since these guys seem to be some tough bugs..... the tobacco industry has gone under some scrutiny about [url="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/04/24/tech/main550925.shtml"]how the tobacco farmers use strong pesticide[/url] to deal with it. That does worry me a bit. There may be some other sprays to keep blue mold down..... root rot.. or black shank down (common tobacco diseases) Santa Fe Natural Tobacco claims to be the only provider of a 100% organic cigarette shag...... I wonder what they do withe their "cutter" leaves? that would be suitable for hookah tobacco. I know that Santa Fe uses perique tobacco in one of theyre cigarette lines... . and since theres only one perique grower left. he must be growing organic too. That would be a really interesting choice for a hookah tobacco tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yeah it kind of taste like chew but not as sweet. I've even used it as chew when I couldn't smoke or I ran out of dip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks[/quote] Not for the most part, in this country, affordably, no. Artificial and natural flavors are the same, for all intents and purposes. I wouldn't really worry about it. Tobacco can't be grown organically, from what I heard. I use kosher, vegetarian glycerine in my tobacco, but that doesn't make up for the other shortcomings.
