cassinho Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Which one is the best? so far i've smoked with Smirnoff Ice once and Tequila once, yeah im a newbie with my hookah, so i had just a few times to experiment aroundSo far the smirnoff ice was really good since it didnt have a lot of alcohol taste when you inhale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Alcohol goes in the mouth.Water in the vase Seriously though - if you are really tempted todo this I have been known to mix CHEAP red or white wines in the vase that would compliment the tobacco flavour.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've experimented with 10 or so wines, with varying success, blue curacao, vodka, rum, whiskey, tequila, coconut liqueur, coffee liqueur, creme de menthe, Creme de banane, and flat Guinness.Any Double Apple + Gamay Noir = sex.Tangiers Cocoa F-Line + Coffee and Guinness = hookagasm.Tonic Lemon Mint Mojito + Lime juice and a dash of creme de menthe is a good one too.

Seanij Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Smirnoff ice in the base.. that sounds hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassinho Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Two apples has this anis flavour so i was afraid to put alcohol in the base with that, dont know if the flavours will contrast to much or fight between them, i will try it tho!

I'm currently smoking SB White Peach with a South African Cab Blanc. Edited January 29, 2008 by gaia.plateau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysolz Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Baileys, d00d.Great with coffee, chocolate, vanilla, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassinho Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Gotta try it, i dont know if this is like cooking but using cheap stuff will give you cheap taste so if i go for something in the base, i'd go for the best hahaWhat proportions do you use for wines? 100% wine or put some water in it?

cassinho Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 LOL Yeah, even when i'd like to try Baileys in the base, it tastes so good as a drink that i couldn't stop myself from drinking it instead of pouring it into my base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Sort of, but not to the same degree. I notice a difference between $25 Cab and $8 Cab, but not a big one. I don't recommend busting out $120 to get a good Bordeaux, for example I usually dilute at a ratio of 2:3 wine:water, but if I'm using my Bambino I'll go 100% wine for a great kick. You can really, really taste it if you do straight wine.QUOTE (cassinho @ Jan 29 2008, 12:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Gotta try it, i dont know if this is like cooking but using cheap stuff will give you cheap taste so if i go for something in the base, i'd go for the best hahaWhat proportions do you use for wines? 100% wine or put some water in it?

hookah hippie Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yeah I gotta side with JD I like to drink my alchohol it seems like that works better then smoking through it. Water for the base hooray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaia.plateau Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Jag and Absinthe sound like fantastic ideas... I'll pick some up this week and report on it.I'm thinking Jag with Nakhla Pistachio or Double Apple, and Absinthe with AF Grape or Tangiers Blueberry.

Plain Old Me Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Is absinthe even legal? I heard that it was legalized (in the US, or at least CA or something), but I haven't seen any around. In any case, with strong tasting liquor you can just mix in a few shots with the water to get the flavor. I have some nice Cosmopolitan flavor tobacco and I usually mix in a few shots with the water and it tastes great. I have mixed other drinks with varying success.

gaia.plateau Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm not sure about the states, but "real" absinthe, which is to say the hallucinogenic variety which is made with wormwood, is illegal to sell in Canada, but not to possess and drink. You can get the non-hallucinogenic variety though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the non-hallucinogenic variety though.A variety using "Southern Wormwood" (instead of the banned botanical wormwood), which has different characteristics apparently, is legal in the U.S., or at least NY State specifically. I buy a bottle here and there from a local liquor store...they have a few different brands, one I know is from Brazil, there's also a few from Europe. The brand I have now is Absente, which, according to it's box, was the first legal Absinthe available in the U.S. since 1912. It came with an absinthe spoon which was cool too.

shisha fan Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 absinthe is overrated, you`ll get drunk sooner than that you`ll hallucinate from the thujon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrj99 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Agreed. I've had authentic absinthe, as well as the U.S. alternative, and have yet to feel any type of hallucination. Gets ya drunk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 My understanding is that one must imbibe it for several days to get the hallucinogenic effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
