Snoopy1966 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 OK, I purchased some Maraschino Cherry a couple of weeks ago and it has a real funky smell to it. I tried to acclimated it 2 times now. It does not smell cherry at all. It has a very chemically smell to it. I have seen some reviews on it and everyone seems to like it. I know some of the Tangiers is very sensitive to humidity, any ideas what I should do? I just opened the tub again and stirred it around and I am going to see if acclimating it wiil help. I have even tried to take out just what I need and leave it out for a while, but no luck. This is the only flavor that I have not liked so far. I can not get past the smell to even smoke it. I have AF Cherry, I wonder if I mix the two it will work? I have not tried to mix any Tangiers yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It has a cherry medicine smell to it. Is that what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 kind of, but the smell makes me cough. It is a really strong smell. I do not think I would call it a medicine smell. The second time I tried to acclimate I only did it for about 5 hours. It is still very wet yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yeah, mine smells like Cherry Cough Syrup. Well, kind of, it's more natural cherry, but still has that hint of Medicine Cherry Flavor. My batch has a strong smell, that you definitely can tell is cherry. But it is very strong, and most of my friends don't like it for it's medicine-like flavor. Maybe you just don't like the smell, that's how i am with Golden Esk. Apple, it makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Never noticed any funky smell from my batch. Smells like tobacco with cherry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathuv Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 i dont see how mixing it with AF cherry would help :S its like having a bad beer and mixing it with a good beer. might aswell just drink the good beer in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 the reason i ask is i ordered tangiers (3 flavors) from h-s recently and they all smell like crap no matter how long i acclimated themand they all taste like nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 I purchased it at my local tobacco shop. The AF Cherry is OK, I use to really like it...Tangiers is about all I smoke now. All the Tangiers I have purchased from HS has been very good for me. I will keep on stirring it up and see how it smells tonight. Hopefully I can try it out.

Snoopy1966 Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 I am smoking a half packed large Phunnel of the Maraschino Cherry now. Taste pretty good now. Nothing as strong as the other flavors, but it is tasty. The smell is much better now also. Now it does smell a little like medicine. Much better, now I am a happy camper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 My meraschino cherry does have a strong hint to it, but i still think its one of my fav's for some reason. How many coals do you use on a half packed phunnel? Do you only poke holes on the half that has the shisha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Right now I only have 33mm Golden Coal QL's. I broke one in half and placed it on my hole pattern. I only poked the holes on the half I put the tobacco in. It seems like it need more heat, I am not really getting the smoke I usually do, I think a 40mm broke in half would be much better. It does not have a strong taste, but I agree with you, I really enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I wonder how many parts of an exotica i should use... Im thinking of breaking one up into fourths then using a fourth of one.. I'll report back later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
