Al-Fakher Corporation (AlFakher.com) was established in 1999, as a limited liability private company and is currently owned by an investment company in the Middle East. A relatively young company based in the United Arab Emirates known mostly for their hookah tobacco. Al Fakher tobacco is definitely one of the most smoked brands on the market. Their flavors are not so fruity, classic, and favorite among many smokers in Middle East. They are also the producer of the popular black style moassel known as Soft Black. Soft Black is a strong and robust tobacco similar to Nakhla Zaghloul.
Al Fakher shisha tobacco comes in four lines:
- The basic line known simply as Al Fakher (AF)
- Al Fakher Golden line which only has a few flavors and is Al Fakher’s more “premium” tobacco. It is juicier and more wholesome allowing to pack a more condensed bowl.
- Special Edition
- Non-Tobacco
Al Fakher also makes natural coals. Read our review of them here.
