Cut
Al Fakher has a pretty choppy cut. It's dyed red, and it can get kind of sticky sometimes but overall is not too juicy. Sometimes there are large leaves or stems in the mix, which isn't that big of an issue because they're usually really easy to grab out if you notice them.
How to pack Al Fakher?
Al Fakher is great, flavorsome hookah tobacco that smokes well with just the right packing technique. The only downside to Al Fakher are rare occurrences of harsh smoke if too much heat is applied at once during your session. With some education and patience, anyone can pack a perfect bowl of this flavorful shisha.
Smoking Al-Fakher from a traditional Turkish hookah bowl or phunnel bowl is the optimal choice, but it can be smoked out of any other type of bowl with good results as long as you know how to manage the heat.
Pack
If you use Kaloud, the best way to pack Al Fakher shisha tobacco is semi-dense, and you can opt for a slightly fluffier pack when using foil. Your initial pack should always be fluffy and loose. It's important that the tobacco gently falls off of your fingertips at first so it may gradually fill up into the hookah bowl.
Once you have a good amount of tobacco in the bowl, pat down the loose shisha lightly so that there are no stray leaves poking from the top. As long as everything seems evenly grounded without being too tight-patted, smoking should be flawless.
Your pack doesn't need to be perfect or even especially tightly packed; as long as everything's fluffy and just gently patted together without being abnormally tight-pressed, then Al Fakher should burn well.
How much coal is needed for a Al Fakher shisha?
Al Fakher hookah flavors burn faster than other shisha brands, so you can start with three hookah coals on your hookah bowl. With Al Fakher, smoke should be flavorful right after you place the coals on the foil or HMD and start puffing, but then after that, it gives large clouds of smoke.
If you want to get better clouds, try rotating your hookah coals more frequently, and avoid adding any more coal, this will only make your hookah smoke taste harsh.
