Dokha Arabic Tobacco

Dokha Arabic Tobacco Dokha is an Arabian tobacco consisting of dried and finely shredded tobacco flakes mixed with herbs and spices. Originating in Iran during the 15th century, Dokha tobacco has a higher concentration of nicotine compared to other forms of tobacco. Unlike most tobaccos, dokha is not fire cured and cut but dried in the arid desert region where it is harvested. It is finely ground to preserve the strength, freshness and flavour of the tobacco. It is then blended with other herbs, spices, dried flowers or fruits without any preservatives pesticides or herbicides. A number of different strengths are available typically described as "Hot" "Warm" or "Cold" which indicated the strength of flavour of the tobacco. Dokha is almost exclusively smoked out of an elongated pipe called a Medwakh and the higher concentration of nicotine produces more of a buzz than traditional tobacco and users report brief periods of relaxation and euphoria.
