Competition Theme: Ultimate Brand Mastery

Requirements for tobacco mix: contestant should use not less then 60% of his mix from 1 brand manufacturer, to reach the next idea:

 

Hookah culture has a long and rich history, and today’s hookah shisha flavors have evolved into an overwhelming variety of choices. As a seasoned hookah master, one should possess a deep understanding and unique interpretation of different brands —not only as a reflection of personal expertise, but also as the best way to repay the trust of your guests.

 

The theme “Ultimate Brand Mastery” of this competition encourages every participating team to express their deepest understanding and love for their favorite brand. The competition requires that a single brand must account for more than 60% of the total flavor composition in each entry. This rule truly tests each contestant’s mastery and control over that brand’s flavor profile, challenging you to create the most stunning and breathtaking mix possible within this strict framework.
