Why is hookah tobacco only available in 25 gram packs?

Hookah tobacco taxed until 30.06.2022 in the generally accepted packaging units (200g, 1kg) and which is already in circulation may be sold until 30.06.2023. In turn, tobacco produced from 01.07.2022 may be produced and put on the market only in packaging quantities not exceeding 25 grams.

Prices for 25g of Virginia tobacco range from €2.90 to €4.90, while Darkblend tobacco costs between €3.90 and €5.90. This increase, in addition to the increase in taxes, is due to the increased workload of tobacco manufacturers. This causes tobacco in older packaging sizes to become scarce. Therefore, we strongly advise you to stock up on your favorite varieties!
