XSiL3nTX Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'm a noob hookah enthusiast haha... Just bought a Mini Grape Hookah from hookah-shisha.com (btw they are a great company) and with the hookah, I recieved 2 free Romman 50g sample packs (Banana, and Strawberry)..So I decided to mix the banana and strawberry together and smoked a bowl of it, and all I got to say is that it tasted NOTHING like strawberry or banana...Maybe I got a bad batch? I dunno. Well my real question is this; since I'm looking for a tobacco brand that has a strong taste, and according to the review section of this forums, it seems that Tangiers and Romman have a good taste/smoke/smell...With your expirience, which is better taste/smoke wise? I heard Tangiers is really strong? is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeMyselfAndMark Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Personally, I belive that Tangiers is way better . Although from what I have smoked its true that it does take more work and is a bit more "harsh", but the flavor/buzz is worth it. You'll get used to it the more you smoke it though.

Big Boss Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I've never smoked Tangiers but I can already tell you that its better than Romman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSiL3nTX Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Alright, well I guess I'm gonna order a 250g bag of Cinnamon or Cool Strawberry tangiers tobacco and see how it goes. Also, "takes more work" would mean? lol...I hear you need a special bowl to smoke tangiers, is this true? I have a regular clay bowl that my hookah came with; will this not work? <<< noob sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Yeah, one of these Edited June 21, 2007 by Big Boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Nah, you can smoke it out of a regular bowl...it works better out of a phunnel head. Try brambleberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenWizard Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Tangiers FTW!!! Get a phunnel, don't worry about a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talksrealfast Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 While you're making your order, throw in a sample pack of some flavors from different companies you want to try out. Check the reviews first to see if everyone hates it so that you don't waste your money. I've got a couple of cans of Starbuzz on the way - I hear good things but it's hard to just sample that stuff since it costs so much.One of the noob things I didn't learn right away was how important the coals are. Read some reviews, but you might want to pick up some 3kings for the quick lights and/or the silver light japanese coals too. That will change the experience a lot since you're probably rocking the golden coals from Hookah-Shisha like I was. The goldens ash too much for me.

Blueberry hit, strawberry missed.Fumari i have yet to find one i dont like, but tropical punch is by far my favorite shisha. White peach is really good too, same with cream soda, chocolate mint, and black cherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph* Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Fumari is good for smoke and flavor, but I really like to get a buzz and fumari has ZERO buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
