Overview of Dokha (Arabic Tobacco)
The Dokha Smoking Experience
Overview of Dokha (Arabic Tobacco) – unlike most tobaccos, Dokha is a natural and pure tender leaf Arabic tobacco. It is not fire cured and cut, but dried in the arid desert regions of the Middle East where it is grown. It’s finely ground in a timely delicate manner to preserve the content of the tobacco, its strength, freshness and pure tobacco flavour.
Dokha tobacco, essentially, is unaltered and maintains the green colouration of the natural plant. Blends are typically classified into Light (cold) Dokha, Medium (warm) Dokha or Hot Dokha.
Dokha originated in Gilaki which was located on the southwest coast of the Caspian Sea (modern-day Iran) back in the 1400s, where it was primarily used by sailors. Over the years, the smoking of Dokha was banned which surprisingly led to its rising popularity, especially in the Middle East!
If you are a frequent smoker of cigarettes, you should try smoking Dokha. It is commonly smoked through a Medwakh (Midwakh) wooden pipe which can be purchased along with the Dokha from Enjoy Dokha.
