Color: Good
quality Dokha starts with darkish green
shades and slowly over a period of time
will develop a lighter green shade
without losing its quality (sometimes it
evolves to a greenish-beige color as
well) , that naturally happens because
it is organically cultivated. Whereas
bad quality Dokha might start as green,
but will quickly turn brown, and that is
an indication that inorganic materials
are used, hence the Dokha will quickly
lose its quality and taste.
-
Size: Good
quality Dokha tobacco leaf is generally
thin. Bad quality Dokha tobacco leaf if
thick.

Blending:
Good quality Dokha uses high quality
Dokha tobacco leafs for the blends,
which maintains its taste, character and
consistency for long periods of time.
Bad quality Dokha uses low grade Dokha
tobacco leafs for the blends, which
degrades the taste and consistency of
the product.

purely of tobacco leaf with no additives
and other materials what so ever. Bad

little quantity of the tobacco leaf
stems and tobacco dust. Bad quality
