Rani Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Okay so for the very first time I'm faced with a tobacco (Fantasia Blueberry) I can't get to smoke right. Even Tangiers never gave me so many problems. I packed the way I do for Fusion, Starbuzz, etc., but it was pretty bad (not truly harsh but not far from it) despite smelling like heaven. Tried acclimating - not any better. Tried packing like Tangiers since it's unwashed like Tangiers. Nope. Tried balancing the coal (Golden QL) half off the bowl. A little better but still not a good flavor coming through. I'm at a loss on this one. It's probably something I'm doing because every now and then I get a mouth full of amazing flavor - as good as it smells, but that's maybe two or three hits off the entire bowl. Any suggestions from anyone who's got experience getting good flavor out of this brand?'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Pink Lemonade I had to make a foil phunnel to get it to smoke good. Wild Mango I have had no success with yet. Last night I smoked almost the last of it and still no success. It tasted like a regular mango, then got harsh...adjusted heat and all, just couldn't get it burning right.So, I guess it just depends on the batch that you get and some trial and error. Neal might be able to shed some light here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
