Unflavored tobacco fans rejoice. According to a direct message from Hookah-Shisha.com, the elusive, yet highly esteemed, Al Fakher Soft Black is on their shelves for the first time. Hookah-Shisha.com joins a short list of US vendors who carry the unflavored tobacco product. Unfortunately, none of us here at HookahReport have had the opportunity to try it. But judging by the chatter on the message boards, we ought to have our expectations pretty high.

Al Fakher Soft Black is only available in 1kg packages. Hookah-Shisha.com sells the tobacco for $45.95 in a 1kg tub, HookahJohn.com often has the tobacco available as well for $42.99, also in a 1kg tub.

Does 40 bucks sound like a lot of money for something you’re not sure you’ll like? Still want to try out Al Fakher Soft Black? Why not join a community and try and work out a group buy with others in your same shoes?
