Their regular old pineapple is very good. So, isn’t the shisha supposed to have some type of tobacco backnote? Does it come through at all?
To tell ya the truth I have never tasted a shisha with any tobacco notes in any of them. I have no idea why INW decided to have a shisha line since there isn’t any tobacco in them well not sb shisha vanilla shisha pineapple shisha even shisha punch with the cardamon mix no tobacco note. I think it keeps ppl away more than drives them to it with that name.
I’ll look into pineapple INW thanks. I do have plenty but ya know how that goes.
Have agree @Amy2
I cannot get any tobacco flavour from their shisha range?
Still not complaining as they are great!
Loving Cactus, and Inawera blackcurrant is very tasty too. Also liking their pineapple, pear and grape.
Finding it harder to love their strawberry [not Shisha] and the raspberry isn’t as good as I hoped though
I have some very potent ones of theirs that you don’t see mentioned often, I’m thinking people don’t really know what do make of them, lol. Wild rose, and wild strawberry are both very intense, even just a couple of drops of wild rose in a mix and that’s it!! ALL you will taste is rose, as nice and sweet and flowery as that may be [reminds me of Turkish delight also] it completely dominates other flavours. Wild strawberry is more like Wild strawberry stalks and leaves. very ‘green’ grassy strawberry flavour.
Try the Shisha Tobacco Drop
@Josephine_van_Rijn
Haven’t went down the tobacco route yet?
Keep telling myself that I will need to start but it seems very daunting with so much choice of tobaccos?LOL
From what I have read INW has a great tobacco range?
So that might be the best place to start?
It’s an excellent place to start.
I’m very happy with most of the INW tobaccos, in particular: Gold Ducat (3.5%), Captain Jack (3%), Turkish Tobacco (3.25%) and Am4a (3.5%).
I’ll suggest these as starters for tobacco flavors:
Vanilla for Pipe – great vanilla taste with a mild tobacco background.
Gold Ducat – mellow tobacco, mild throat hit, hint of honey and fruit on the exhale
From reviews I read, the Shisha Tobacco Drop is the only INW shisha flavor that has a perceivable tobacco note; all the others are just a super concentrated flavor of what’s on the label, sans tobacco.
I would have been pissed if it didn’t have a tobacco note, it does very well in your Shisha Ship
Got some new [to me] INW flavors today, that i completely forgot I ordered!
Anyone familiar with these - Shisha Lemon, Shisha Bilberry, Yummy classic Cherimyo" and “Yummy classic Rhubarb”?
The others in the pack were ones I’ve had already, Blackcurrant , Pineapple and Pear, all very good.
The cherimoya is a very nice flavour but not very strong for an Inawera flavour, the rhubarb is extremely strong, use with care
I was sent this concentrate FOC by Inawera to review, but the views are my own

Review
Well Balanced Raspberry menthol vape. The Raspberry is not to strong or overly sweet and the menthol never overpowers the finished mix the 2 flavours work well together.
I Used Aqueous (10%) VG mix
Steeping time 2 weeks
These flavours were sent to me for review, but the views expressed are my own.They may or may not become commercially available or the finished flavour may be revised and are reviewed in a format Inawera request from their flavour testers.
I normally post these flavour reviews on another site, but quite a few mixers on here seem to like Inawera flavours. So thought I would add my reviews here too, in case they are any use to mixers that may be interested in what are coming out of the Inawera labs.

Thanks to Marcin as ever for the chance to sample these flavours.
Very much appreciate you sharing your thoughts with our community, as I’m a HUGE fan of Inawera’s products.
Look forward to seeing more of the same!
I can’t wait to see what flavors Inawera associates with the other 49 USA states!
Mississippi = Pineapple cream?
I’m originally from Mississippi and can tell you, a pineapple has absolutely nothing to do with anything relating to Mississippi; it doesn’t even claim to have a state fruit.
Thank you very much for the write ups. Inawera has some good flavors, it’s much easier when people have put out tasting notes. I appreciate the time.
I’m looking forward to the Alligator Mousse
There’s only one option if they want to accurately represent Texas IMO: mesquite smoked Angus brisket! And yes. I’d totally try it!! After all, it’s Inawera!
Isn’t this great , a Confederate Flag on a concentrate named Mississisppi . I can see Rachel Madcow doing a special MSNBC report on how all DIY vapors are White Supremacists Skin Head Klansmen!
All because of someone in Poland thought they grew Pineapples in Missafukinsippi ,WTF!
I hope the concentrate they name Hawaii tastes like a Mississippi Mud Pie and has a picture of a Volcano !
