Darkside hookah tobacco is made of Burley, Oriental and Virginia tobacco leaves pre-cooked in sugar syrup. This method of processing gives the blends the following distinctive features. Heat resistance: tobacco burns slowly and is not bitter even at high temperatures. Versatility: although the manufacturer recommends using a phunnel, Darkside can be used in any bowl. Smokiness: ideal for lovers of thick smoke clouds because it produces a lot of smoke.
