Definition
Shisha natural charcoal is made from organic material—mostly coconut shells—and is specially designed for use in shisha smoking. It is characterized by its long burn time, high heat stability, and low smoke emission when lighting. Natural charcoal contains no chemical additives and is considered the preferred choice among experienced shisha smokers.
How it works
How Natural Charcoal works
Lighting natural charcoal requires a strong external heat source—such as an electric shisha coal burner, gas stove, or special outdoor solutions. After fully glowing, the hot coal is placed on the bowl, where it evenly emits heat to gently warm the shisha tobacco. The typical cube shape (25–28 mm) ensures stable heat distribution and a long burn time of up to 90 minutes, depending on quality and compression.
