Chabacco is a Russian brand of non-tobacco hookah smoking blends. According to the manufacturer’s description, Chabacco is made from a mix of tea leaves. It includes green tea of the Tie Guan Yin variety, white tea Inzhun, and black tea Dian Hong. Thanks to this base, the blend has become more resistant to heat and smoke. You don’t have to worry about accidentally spoiling the leaves.
Chabacco product lines
Like other tobacco manufacturers, Chabacco offers several product lines. Let’s briefly go over each of them:
Standard. This line features classic fruit and berry flavors (such as Passion Fruit, Red Currant). It is suitable for those who love classics or prefer to create their own mixes. According to customer reviews, Chabacco flavors blend well and reveal their complexity thanks to a unified base.
Chabacco Emotions. This is a collection of unique scents that will make any moment brighter. The manufacturer has created over 10 aromas based on associative mixology. It offers flavors like “Italian Negroni”, “Balinese Dawn”, “Bar-Hopping”. Note that Chabacco Emotions should not be used in mixes. It reveals itself perfectly on its own. The only thing you can do is add a little chill.
Chabacco Mix. The manufacturer has released a line of classic mixes for those who don’t like to fuss with proportions and search for cool combinations. Chabacco hookah enthusiasts have already compiled over 50 diverse mixes (for example, Asian Mix, Creme De Coco, Mango Chamomile). Chabacco Mix, according to customer feedback, is an excellent choice for beginners in herbal blends. There is no need to search for proportions and flavors on your own, and preparing the hookah due to its temperature tolerance is a breeze.
Chabacco Limited. This is an unusual line in the Chabacco flavors collection. It features gastro-aromas (such as “Garlic Croutons,” “Cheese Sticks”), the New Year’s “Christmas Tree-Mandarin”. These are vibrant and self-sufficient scents that will appeal to those who are tired of classics and want something unusual.
Regardless of the flavor, Chabacco blends smoke well. They have excellent smokiness, do not contain preservatives or artificial colorings. The average smoking time is 40-60 minutes. It is worth noting that nicotine in Chabacco is added in liquid form, i.e. it is not a nicotine-free mixture. For fans of different strengths, the manufacturer has prepared 2 lines — Medium and Strong.
We have gathered the top 10 fragrances to start exploring this brand. We will briefly describe each of them.
1. Chabacco Mango Chamomile
Top Chabaco introduces Mango Chamomile – an unusual fusion of green tea, chamomile, and ripe mango. It is perfect for a relaxing hookah session. This Chabaco tobacco is of medium strength, so the nicotine won’t hit your throat, and the flavor will come through fully.
During smoking, you will first feel a slightly bitter aroma of green tea, which predominates in the mix, then the chamomile and mango will unfold. It is worth noting that the taste does not have the classic herbaceousness found in other mixes with chamomile. Only the flower heads are noticeable. The mango complements the aroma with a subtle sweetness.
2. Chabacco Fruit Ice
The scent has received somewhat mixed reviews from hookah enthusiasts, but it performs excellently in mixes. In Fruit Ice, the tartness of kiwi is well felt, causing strawberry to take a backseat. As customers note, the Chabacco fruit ice lacks the most crucial element – the chill. This shortcoming can be easily compensated for by adding 10-15% of a tobacco-free mixture with an ice and mint flavor.
3. Chabacco Fruit Jam
Fruit Jam has a taste of pink grapefruit with subtle hints of strawberry and raspberry. It can be compared to Pinkman by Must Have, but Chabacco lacks the bitterness of grapefruit and is slightly less intense. Therefore, this flavor is suitable for those who found Pinkman too bright, but overall enjoy mixes with grapefruit. The taste of tea leaf is present, but it is overshadowed by the bright fruity aromas, so it does not spoil the fruity jam.
4. Chabacco Grape Mint
Grape Mint – rich sour-sweet grape flavor with a coolness. The aroma is dominated by white grapes, which is why Chabacco is compared to DS. However, Chabacco turned out to be significantly brighter. Thanks to its moderate strength, bordering on low, the flavor is suitable for those who smoke rarely or have only tried hookahs.
It is worth noting that the manufacturer overdid it a bit with the coolness. In the first 10 minutes, there is too much mint, after which it fades into the background, unveiling the grape flavor.
5. Chabacco Cranberry
This is one of the brightest flavors in the Chabacco line. It is both a plus and a minus at the same time. For the first 10 minutes, it is chemically saturated, but then the scent evens out, resulting in a pleasant aroma of tart berries accentuated by sweet notes.
6. Chabacco Watermelon Gum
Watermelon Gum is a refreshing scent of mint gum with a watermelon flavor. It will appeal to those who prefer sweet blends with a hint of coolness. This mixture looks great in fruit mixes. It can serve as a base for brighter scents, as the watermelon is subtly expressed in it, and the gum predominates.
7. Chabacco Mandarin-Christmas Tree
This is a bright citrus flavor of tangerine with a piney aftertaste. Mandarin-Christmas Tree is an excellent option for those who want to feel the atmosphere of New Year. In this blend, the scents of fir and tangerine are perfectly balanced. You can smoke it solo or as part of citrus mixes, where Mandarin-Christmas Tree will be the base.
8. Chabacco Tropic Love
Tropic Love is a mix of tropical fruits and berries. The inhale is dominated by the scents of melon and banana, while the exhale features mint and papaya. Citrus notes are presented relatively weakly in this mix. They are barely noticeable, so fans of more sour mixes may want to separately add the scent of orange or tangerine.
9. Chabacco Pear Candies
Pear Candies is an excellent mix with pear, with a strong hint of lemon as well. It has a pleasant sweetness reminiscent of Halls candies. This is complemented by a minty freshness that does not overpower other flavors. It is important to note that after 20-30 minutes of smoking, chemical undertones may arise, making this blend not suitable for extended smoking sessions.
10. Chabacco Mumbai Tea
The aroma of the famous masala tea with characteristic spicy notes and a creamy aftertaste. The atmosphere of Indian streets, bright spices, and spicy creamy aroma. Great combination with citrus flavors.
Conclusion
Chabacco is an excellent option for those who do not enjoy classic tobacco blends. Tea blends have a softer aroma, so you can enjoy a variety of flavors that are often overshadowed by the tobacco base.
Chabacco has a huge collection of flavors that work well in blends. Buy a couple of fruity flavors, mix them with mint, and get a juicy and refreshing taste. And for lovers of something unconventional, the manufacturer has prepared limited collections and gastronomic aromas.
