smidge Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 what shishas should be acclimated? i know tangiers needs to be. but what else? should i let my fantasia sit out for 30 mins-1hr before i smoke it? what about al waha, al fakher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) I generally do all my tobaccos. But I have smoked SB without acclimation. But yes, Tangiers is a must. Otherwise it will be teh suck.Oh also, I don't acclimate AW, but I do for AF. The golden black grape is seriously a fav of mine!

bassman65 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I just had to acclimate my layalina. I had to acclimate my fantasia wild mango too. Nakhla no, aw no.I guess the more glycerine, the more likely you'll have to acclimate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paiintballa182 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 you want to acclimate in the temperature in which you plan on smoking the shishaso fridge = bad ideaplus the glycerin is a preservative in itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecklin Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 i see, do you dry out your tobacco? i've been smoking al-fakher for years and recently a friend told me to try drying out the tobacco because (as most al-fakher users probably know) the tobacco is soaked in molasses/glycerin.. so much that he says that it might inhibit good smoking clouds because the tobacco is too wet....so he uses that metal bowl with holes in it (the one you use for letting the water out of the spaghetti) and lets the excess molasses drip out...leaving the tobacco nice and dry...allowing it to burn better and more evenly....any of you guys do something like this?

Voski Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I only acclimate tangiers. SOME people have said that acclimating bad batches of AF grape has worked for them.I still don't know how Canon does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erufiku Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 No. Although I never had much luck with it, it's an OK tobacco. Any tips to prevent me from tossing the Orange Cream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paiintballa182 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 none, its not very hard to manage, and orange cream kinda suckshow much of it do you have left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erufiku Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Don't know, like 150g. I think it's a bad batch cause no matter what I do it tastes like the orange-scented all purpose cleaner. Tried it with QLs, Rolland naturals and coconaras to no avail.After Nine on the other hand is mouth-watering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
