No Flavor From Fumari At All?

[clickhea]

still no email back from them

[clickhea]

alright i received a call from them which i missed and an email. They left a voice mail and the female on the phone sounded very pleasant. I chose to respond via email only because the # they are reached at is not a 1 800 number and i live all the way in new york. An email was sent back, and now iam waiting on their response.

Phone numbers begining with 800, 877, 866, and 888 (I think) are all toll-free numbers. Just FYI.

yes iam aware but their # is NOT a 1800 number.

i received another email and they basically said they would pay for me to ship the remaining flavors back to them and they would send me a new shipment of whatever i send back to them..

so basically the 4 flavors i tried they will not replace.. which i dont really agree with espically since they are only 50g samples, we arent talking tubs of tobacco here.

that kind of doesn't make sense. they're not going to replace the flavors that don't have taste? but will replace the ones you haven't tried yet...

[Spotless]

yeah that does seem kind of lame, but o well if you get fresh stuff then its a great trade. I havent had a problem with the fumari caramel I have, at least flavor wise. I have run into quite a few stems though

Just picked up some Fumari Orange Creme.. first bowl was great, but then the flavor started to fade away.. great smoke though

Where did you get 50g samples? I thought they only sold 100g and 1000g sizes.

I just stopped smoking tangiers because I was tired of having to move the coals every few minutes. So i ordered some fumari flavors that seemed to sound tasty.

Raspberry was very good. Very subtle but it reminded me and my girlfriend of the raspberry mamba candy.

The rest of the order (Kiwi, Triple Apple, and Cream Soda) all had 0 flavor. So i think fumari is hit or miss. I know the first time i tried fumari i had ordered mint chocolate, jello, and raspberry which were all very tasty. Did they maybe change something other than their packaging since they seem to be making more business? They also used to use a longer cut instead of this tiny almost minced cut.

Ill probably go back to havana or fahker for decent smoke and good flavor.

Now I didn't read through the whole post so someone may have asked you this already, but, what kind of coals are you using? In ym experiences with fumari it's always been picky about coals. I can smoke a bowl of Fumari with 3 Kings and never have any flavor, if I use Nour's then i get some but not much, Starlight coals work better then the nours, and my best experiences have been with the Japanese type. Hell I can use 3 kings for the first hour in my phunnel w/mod and not get any flavor and then switch to the japs and the bowl will come to life. Now I'm not sure what your using but maybe some experimentation is in order to get your Fumari smoking better. And to echo other peoples messages, Fumari is way more subtle then most brands, you almost have to smoke it like you would drink a fine wine to appreciate it's true potential.

i used the 44mm three kings broken in half. I used a medium phunnel bowl with one half of the coal on each side. Coals were all red before i even placed them on the bowl.
