Afzal Pan Masala Supreme Hookah Tobacco - 250g Shisha Molasses

If Pan Raas is the starting point for Afzal's pan range, Pan Masala Supreme is where it goes deeper. More spice. More layers. Areca nuts and cardamom and clove on top of the betel leaf. A stronger cooling mint note. A session that does not get tiresome.

Pan masala as a category is more complex than plain paan. In the traditional South Asian context, pan masala is a processed mixture of areca nut, betel leaf, catechu, cardamom, clove, and other spices. It carries more herbal depth and more distinct spice notes than a straightforward paan preparation. Afzal built Pan Masala Supreme around that profile, and the result is a hookah shisha that buyer called "legendary flavor, all the spices in one mix."

The identifiable flavors in Pan Masala Supreme are betel leaf, areca nut, cardamom, and clove running through the body of the smoke, with a cool minty note that sits on top of everything. The mint here is described by Hookah.org's reviewer as more pungent and cooling than in Afzal's Bombay Pan Masala variant, which is accurate to how Pan Masala Supreme actually smokes. If your hookah experience has been mostly fruit flavors, this will be a significant change of direction.

Pan Masala Supreme also works as a mixer. A small amount blended with mint shisha or a light fruit base adds spice, herbal depth, and a cooling complexity that most hookah smokers have not found in Western-market shisha. The 250g tub provides 15 to 20 sessions depending on bowl size and packing, giving you enough to smoke it straight and experiment with mixes from the same purchase.
