Which shisha flavours and brands were the favourites in 2020?

Shisha users all have their preferences. Some swear by fruit, others by fresher notes. With or without nicotine, some aromas remain unshakeable, while other flavours are entirely unexpected. Here is the ranking of the most popular shisha flavours in 2020.

The favourite hookah flavours with tobacco

In 2020, Al Fakher's fresh mint flavour topped the list. It is generally described as powerful and cooling. Close behind comes Tangiers, with its Cane Mint peppermint aroma.

Third place goes to Starbuzz and its Blue Mist flavour. A blend of mint and sweet blueberry, it is a flavour often chosen by newcomers to shisha.

Nakhla and its double apple aroma was also a best-seller this year, as was the same flavour from Al Fakher. Starbuzz's Pirates Cave hookah tobacco also sold heavily, with its lemon soda and confectionery notes.

The best tobacco-free shisha flavours in 2020

Sales were led without question by Mamor and its Cloud One flavour. The German brand surprised the market with a tobacco-free product that nonetheless tastes of tobacco. Between mint, banana and pineapple, its very dense smoke carries pronounced flavours.

True Passion comes second with its Cinderella blend of passion fruit, mango, melon and watermelon. A fresh mix with summery notes. Third place goes to the Bora Bora menthol aroma from Shishavaping. Fresh and fruity at the same time, it was among the best-selling shisha flavours in 2020.

Still in the top five, the Ice Shock menthol flavour from Shiazo won buyers over with its very intense freshness. Last of the group, and against all expectations, comes the cherry flavour from Hookah Squeeze. Sold as a cream, it can be mixed with other aromas or used on its own for a tart, sweet note. The Ice Rockz brand also offers a wide range of flavours to explore.
