RayVer Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I just spoke to Eric from Tangiers about 3 hours ago. Yes it is true...He is bringing in about 12-13 flavors for the washed line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdl Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 It's not like the unwashed tobacco is going to be discontinued. The washed tobacco will offer a wider range for hookah smokers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staygone Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Can't wait for the washed Tangiers, now I can smoke it with people (everyone I smoke with) because they get shitfaced and cough like hell when they smoke normal Tangiers. The best of both worlds aint a bad thing.-QMIf he made blueberry washed, I'd be one happy harry. Edited January 24, 2008 by QuiltedMaple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm super pumped for unwashed Tangiers. I'll finally be able to fire up my favourite baccy at parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheetz Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 All his tobaccos are washed. Just a little FYI for ya.This is a quote from myself of myself in another post of Eric. He has also stated its not thoroughly washed like you have with Starbuzz. Meh, to me Tangiers is Tangiers because of how it smokes with its flavor. Thats what makes it better than everything else. It is what makes it unique. LOL I feel like a tool for being emo about it. QUOTE Washed:TangiersRommanNahklaAl WahaAbu HithamPartially Washed (Usually washed mixed with a little unwashed...to retain a little nicotine)Al BashaWashed CompletelyAl AmirAl FahkerLayalinaStarbuzzHavanaFumariHookahHookah...Some washed brands erroneously claim to have full nicotine, either because computing the number is difficult, they wish to misrepresent their product, or they used to use unwashed foundation and then switched to a washed foundation. (layalina and Starbuzz)Washing is accomplished commonly by rinsing the tobacco with cold-room temperature water. Less commonly, the maker will use vinegar, as an acid, it neutralizes and dissolves the nicotine very well...but is more expensive (in the US). Nicotine is water soluble, so not that much water rinses it around 99% clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMoodz Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Talked to Eric a few weeks ago. Tangiers will be the only company to have an unwashed, washed, and caffeinated tobacco line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 all shisha is washed to an extent.. when you hear of a "washed" line it means its been washed to remove the nicotine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 you have to wash it allwe say unwashed because its not wash and washed and washed.I imagine if you saw starbuzz or al fakher without flavoring or anything, just the tobacco all nicely cut up it would be a lot lighter in color than the unwashed ones.if you dont wash it at all you will have bugs and shit in it.

They all get a rinse to remove dirt and what not. But you can soak the leaves to remove nicotine. Tangiers is washed, but not done so to remove the nicotine levels.

Tangiers is washed, but not done so to remove the nicotine levels.most shisha brands have a lot more water in it than tangiers.. well atleast the normal linenow the washed line is gettin soaked in more water, it takes longer to boil.. so it will probably have more water.. which will make it easier to pack like other tobacco.. you will probably be able to pack it like any other tobacco and it will be a lot more consistent.

staygone Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Yay for lower level nicotine Tangiers.Anybody have any word on the actual 12-13 flavors Eric has lined up for the washed kind?-QM Edited January 24, 2008 by QuiltedMaple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdb636 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 now that is a great idea. the only thing funnier than a dancing hobo is a dancing hobo who is drinking water laced with nicotine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
