Dum 28mm Black Coal 1 kg - Coconut Coals for Shisha and Hookah

Coconut coals that really burn as they should

Dum 28mm Black Coals are coconut coals for hookahs, made from compressed coconut shells from Indonesia. The block measures 28 by 28 by 28 millimeters and weighs 1 kilogram per package. Thanks to the hard compression, these shisha coals burn for up to 90 minutes, evenly from start to finish. You'll notice little ash formation and the coals don't release any scent or taste of their own. Exactly what you want for a good hookah session.

The Dum brand has been known for reliable hookah natural coals for years. This Black variant is their standard hit: affordable in price, but not compromising on quality. Whether you're smoking at home or planning an evening with friends, these coals won't let you down.

What makes these hookah coals special

There are many types of coals on the market, but the Dum 28mm Black stands out in a few areas:

• Long burning time - up to 90 minutes per block, so you don't have to keep changing them
• Scent and taste-free - the coal doesn't impart anything of itself to the smoke, the taste of your shisha tobacco remains pure
• Little ash - less mess in your shisha tobacco bowl and on your coal holder
• Sturdy cube - the block doesn't fall apart easily, even if you pass it around
• 100% natural - only coconut shell, no additives

The cubic shape of 28mm is a commonly used size for shisha hookah coals. It fits most hookah tobacco bowls and provides good heat distribution over the foil or heat management device.

Who are these coals for

The Dum 28mm Black Coals are suitable for anyone who smokes regularly and doesn't want the hassle of coals going out halfway or producing ash too quickly. Beginners benefit from the stable combustion, as little adjustment is needed. Advanced users appreciate the long burning time and neutral taste.

Buying for multiple sessions? A kilo goes a lot further than you think. You typically use two to three blocks per session. If you want to buy in larger quantities, also check out our other Dum products.

How to use these shisha coals

Always use a shisha coal burner or a hookah coal burner to light the coals. Place the blocks on the burner and wait until they are glowing orange all around. This takes three to five minutes. Make sure they glow well on the sides for the best result.

Then place the glowing coals on the foil or on your heat management device. Start with two blocks. Depending on your tobacco bowl and preference, you can add a third if the heat feels too low. Use a hookah tongs to safely move the coals.

Never leave your coals unattended on a flammable surface. Place the hookah on a sturdy, heat-resistant surface and keep a coal catcher nearby for fallen ash or rolling blocks.

Maintenance and storage

Store the coals dry and well-sealed. Moisture makes the blocks more brittle and harder to ignite. A sealed box or bag at room temperature is fine. The packaging itself is sturdy enough for storage.

Are there coal remnants left after a session? Let them cool completely before storing or discarding them. Use a metal tray or a coal holder to let them cool safely outside the hookah.

Want to keep your hookah clean? After each session, remove ash residue from the tobacco bowl and rinse the hookah hose and vase briefly. This keeps everything fresh for next time.

Combine with the right flavor

The Dum 28mm Black Coals work well with any type of shisha tobacco. Whether you smoke a light fruity flavor or something heavier, the coals provide stable, neutral heat. Check out our range of shisha tobacco and hookah tobacco for inspiration.

For beginners who don't have a solid favorite yet: try a popular flavor from Al Fakher or Adalya. Both are easily manageable in terms of heat and provide a clear taste with a good coal temperature.

Are you using a heat management device instead of foil? Then you can allow a bit more heat. Two Dum 28mm blocks are usually enough. With foil, start gently with two blocks and move them to the edge if it gets too hot.

Complete your session

Good coals are the foundation, but a complete shisha session requires more. Make sure you have the right accessories on hand. Think of aluminum foil and pokers, a good hookah tobacco bowl, and a clean hookah hose. Find everything in our overview of hookah accessories.
