Tangiers Orange Soda


Recommended Posts

I baught a 250g bag of Tangiers orange soada and I'd hate for it to go to waste sad.gif , but by itself it just was a little to harsh for my taste... So does anyone have any good mixes for orange soda? or just orange flavors in general?
Thanx.

ooooo..vanilla and orange sound nice...maybe with ice too?

You know what be good!?? Add Champagne to the water and make that sucker a "Mimosa"!

mmmmmmmmm:D


That is a stupid waste of champagne. Using cheap alcohol in the base is one thing, but champagne? Come on...

Harsh?

Smoked Tangiers before?

Filling bowl appropriately? Not spreading, sprinkling or mashing down? Not too much coal...a little less than you are used to.


Yeah, I'm new to Tangiers. I think I probably packed it down a little too much/ filled the bowl to high.
...And probably used one coal to many...
Thanks for the help.

That's sparkling wine, not champagne. Champagne is made in the (surprise!) Champagne region of France. Anything else similar to champagne but made elsewhere is actually called sparkling wine. I would object much less to him putting sparkling wine in the base than Champagne.

I've never been too clear on the not spreading part. Does this mean that there's just sort of a glob of tobacco in the middle of the bowl, not really touching all the sides? You know... one time you oughta just record a video of a Tangiers bowl being packed so everyone will know once and for all how it's done.

Agreed. With all the discussion that goes on, there still really is no substitute for a video.

I am not sure if you have tried to put milk in your base before as a substitute for water...but a friend and I were smoking and he put only milk in the base to the normal water level and al-waha orange cream in the top and it was so freaking nice made it a really creamy(eaven creamier) orange cream ....

Not sure if that will be nice with the tangiers that you have got but maybe give it a go
Might work for you like it worked for us.

I have tried milk in the base before, and it does somewhat add to the smoothness of a smoke... though I didn't try it when I smoked Tangiers, I think I'll try it next ime.

You couldn't have missed the joke by a larger margin.

Stir well. put a glop in the bowl...shape it to the bowl, making sure the sides of the bowl are covered well. Don't separate, mash or sprinkle. The tobacco, in the bag, is the density it should be in the bowl. Most brands you need the tobacco to be at a lower density in the bowl than it sits in the bag.

Oh, P.S.

Cognac must be made in the Cognac region (Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois, Bois a Ordinares, Bois a Terrores...spelling may be awful here!), in a like sense, Armagnac must be made in the Armagnac Region (Only 3 divisions here...but I can't remember them). In Spain, there is a Jerez region, Brandy de Jerez must be made in...you guessed it.

On the other hand, champagne is not by necessity made in the Champagne district/region. Any French sparkling wine is called champagne (or at least can be). These names are actually protected...Champagne, Armagnac, Cognac, Bourbon, etc. from pretenders infringing on the name. Bourbon is also mistakenly attributed to Kentucky (although Tennessee Whiskey is made in Tennessee). Bourbon just has to be made in the U.S. (and follow three or four rules). Currently, in the United States, bourbon is made in Kentucky, Virginia, Missouri, Los Angeles. To name a few. Until about ten years ago, there was an operational bourbon distillery in Pennsylvania (A.W. Hirsh).

I take it back, the last bourbon distillery was Michters...A.W. Hirsh bottled a couple of their things. I thought about that last night when I was drinking some Michter's I have stashed away.
