Big Boss

I don’t think I’ll ever really quit. I just take breaks years at a time.

Welcome to the forum

I've smoked a lot of amazing flavors over the years so it's really hard to choose. I can't pick just one off the shelf flavor; I like 'em all! But... To answer the question. Years and years ago I inadvertantly came up with a mix that was unlike anything I've ever had. I started out with my medium Phunnel loaded up with Starbuzz Blue Mist. About 5 to 10 minutes into the sesh I just wasn't feeling it, it wasn't hitting the spot. I took the coals off, peeled the foil away, scooped out the blue mist and repacked it full of Tangiers Cocoa. I got it all set up and took my first pull and I couldn't believe what I was tasting; chocolate/cocoa on the inhale, sweet blueberries on the exhale. I've been chasing and dreaming about that flavor for the past 6 years.

The Orange Soda is a bit different than I remember. Back in the day it was 100% straight up orange soda flavor. Now it seems like it's orange soda-ish. The recipe has either changed, I can't get the heat just right, my tastebuds have gone to hell on me, or fuck, all of the above. I use to be able to load my medium Phunnel up, plop three coconaras on top to let it heat up, pull one off after a minute or so and chug away with excellent flavor and smoke. Now when I try that I burn the fuck out of it. It sucks having to re-learn proper heat management. Anyway, thanks for the welcome back, guys. It feels good to be back in the fold.

I quit coming around for a lot of reasons. About four and a half years ago I landed a new job. I was working 10 hour days 6 days a week. At the end of the day I found myself just wanting to rest and not do anything else. Time went by and I just stopped doing it. I also stopped coming by the forum because of all the new faces. There was a time in my life where I didn't have a lot of 'real world' friends but I saw a lot of people on here as friends. One by one they quit coming around... some just didn't have time to log on... some quit smoking all together... and some got banned. It was tough logging back in and seeing everybody was gone. I took the first week of September off, burned up some vacation days. In the weeks leading up to my vacation I was thinking of things to do and smoking hookah was one of them. So I busted out the KM I bought from Stuie and ordered my favorite flavors. I couldn't find my old medium Phunnel so I had to order a Vortex to make due. Day one of my vacation came and I packed my bowl full of Orange Soda (probably my favorite) and felt all the memories come rushing back... The first time I tried smoking hookah, the first time I dropped a coal on the carpet, the first session I got just right (it was AF rose flavor), to the first time I got a bowl of Tangiers just right... And I realized how much I truly missed it. A lot has changed in the almost 4 years since I last smoked. The cut of Tangiers being the biggest shock. Last time I bought some it had thick long cuts of tobacco, and now it's a moderately fine cut. I've been smoking from the hookah I bought from Stuie everyday for just about a month now and I don't ever want to look back. As I'm typing this I'm chugging away on a Pico bowl loaded with Tangiers ololiuqui. ANYWAY I apologize if that was tl;dr.

Tangiers ololiuqui noir

No ice, it kills the flavor.

[b][u]Chocolate Covered Blueberries[/u][/b] 2 parts Cocoa 1 part Blue Gumball Mix evenly and smoke up. Should get a cocoa/chocolate flavor upfront with a blueberry aftertaste.

My Seemann's is ready to eat, too.

[quote name='Click' timestamp='1314420501' post='521556'] I'm the biggest beer freak I know. I hate getting invited out to bars only to find out the place has BMC and Corona shit. I happen to have a Westvleteren aging in my closet. I brought it back from Brugge last summer. [img]http://i.imgur.com/ztZRO.jpg[/img] [/quote] Ok. My interest is piqued. Where can I find this stuff here in the States?

Win. This thread is full of it.
