Published in: Shisha Stories The Science of Flavor: Why Some Shisha Blends Feel Smoother Than Others Author Administrator Published on: January 7, 2026 Smoothness in shisha is not subjective alone—it is the outcome of science and formulation. Heat Interaction Different blends react uniquely to heat. Properly engineered shisha tobacco distributes heat evenly, preventing burning and bitterness. Particle Size and Cut The way tobacco is cut affects airflow and heat exposure. Consistent cuts improve combustion control and flavor release. Flavor Stability Stable flavor compounds resist breakdown at high temperatures, preserving taste throughout the session. Understanding the science behind smoothness allows producers to consistently deliver refined and enjoyable shisha experiences.
