I Just Got My Tangiers Out Of The Box.

[SimplexCoda]

I just got my tangiers in and i can smell it through the plastic that it smells normal like the smell it should smell like. Does this mean that I do not need to acclimate? Where on the packing can I find out if at all? Ps. Im super excited i hope this lives up to what I hear.

pics! the new batches of tangiers need no acclimation

[iamscott06]

Even though the last couple I got in smelled great, I just let them sit out for 2-3 hours.. Not sure what anyone else is going to say but you could probably smoke it ASAP!!

I need to get some more Orange Soda.. I think that was my first flavor of tang..



edit: only one of my flavors didnt smell delicous out of the bag.. blueberry for some reason..

yeah.. my blueberry smelt weird but after i acclimated it was nice

[SimplexCoda]

Ok i got 2 pics one of the front showin the flavors and one of the back because the packing has some color differences. I was wondering if that was an indication of if it was a batch that needed acclimation or not.


Thats the front.


Thats the back.

I think.. the ones one the outside are from the new batch.. Once you open them all up see if theres a difference in the cut.

[SimplexCoda]

I dont want to open all of them yet because I dont have enough things to store all of them in.

Edit: I now have to go to a writing lab. Please feel free to give me all the advice you want while Im there. I eagerly await the advice. Im as much of a tangiers n00b as there can be. Edited April 21, 2008 by SimplexCoda

Nice

Blueberry is awesome..when I got it from Snoopy, I had to let it acclimate for well over 4 hours. It THEN was perfect.

Yeah, instead of updating the packaging, I wish Tangiers would fork out the extra 20 cents and give people a zip-lock bag!!

[MechAnt]

It's better if you let it acclimate anyway.

Nice order. I'm waiting on my Blueberry and Coconaras!

[SimplexCoda]

So appearently the writing lab over booked cause im sittin out side waitin for my appt and their all busy and now im prolly gonan fail my paper because of it. Anyway. On to the story of the day. Im thinkin im gonna let prolly the orange soda acclimate a few hours while Im at work tonight and get some glad containers or something and let the other stuff acclimate over night. Sound like a good plan? Anyway Im think as for the learning of the packing. I will try it the big boy way first then if I start and its not workin right immediatly stop and do it the n00b way. Of course pics of all this will happen as it goes and this will be updated with info on the fly. Keep lettin me know what you guys think.

Sounds like a solid plan! Go for it. The acclimation will be very worth it.

its not that hard to pack i dont know what the big deal is.. when me and seanij received the blueberry from snoopy, we let it acclimate and sean packed it in the phunnel no problems, first try. i also packed it at home in my regular bowl.. smooth smoke, no tickle, good flavor. just drop it into the bowl until its full to the rim and foil.. simple as that.

[cymptom]

Don't be discouraged if you don't like those flavors. You've got some of my least favorites lined up there.

[StarCuzz]

so, the newer version of tangiers does not need acclimation?
...and it is packaged differently than the older version?

thank you.

You still need to acclimate, but when you open the bag of the new packing, leave it in there load a bowl and then dump the rest in a container to acclimate. I just did this with Orange Soda this morning, and it smoked great.

[SimplexCoda]

k guys im lettin orange soda acclimate right now im gonan post pics to show you guys.
Here it is in the package:


Heres what it looked like when I opened the package:


Density:


Cut:


How I spread it:


So does this look like new tangiers and does it look like a good way to acclimate it? Im gonna let it acclimate for about 3 - 4 hours then smoke it after work.

EDIT: I tried to spead it out while still keeping the same basic density. Edited April 21, 2008 by SimplexCoda

[SimplexCoda]

Anyone?

[Snoopy1966]

Yes it does look like the new tobacco by the packaging and how it looks. Put it in a container instead of putting it on foil. Smoke it up it is ready to go! Orange soda does not take long to acclimate . Just remember to pack the bowl dense but not tight to the top if you do not try the nOOb method.

[SimplexCoda]

Can you please refrase that snoop? I am very confused by that.

[SimplexCoda]

I guess snoopy isnt here any more.

[Snoopy1966]

I mean the tobacco looks like it is a new batch from the packaging and the way the tobacco looks. When you pack the bowl just make sure the bowl is full and pack it down but not to hard and fill the bowl to the top, use big holes like a wooden meat skewer size.

[Voski]

Good luck! Hopefully you will have better luck then I did.

[SimplexCoda]

Ok so I packed up my tangiers orange soda afrer about 4 hours of acclimation. I packed it up in my superchief.
Heres some picys.




So far its not bad. Not harsh like people say. I tried adding another coal because the flavor was a little light. Then it got slightly harsh so i took it off. Then it still wasnt harsh, but the flavor was still a little light. So i think im close, i just have a little perfecting to do.
