Deathwish238 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm having trouble getting some Romman to smoke well. I fill the bowl up but don't pack it down, use two sheets of aluminum foil, and then put two 1/4 sticks of Exotica on each end rotating them every so often. However, I always seem to burn the shisha which makes it taste like crap.How many sticks should I be using? I also put a lot of holes in the foil..perhaps I have too many? I'm using a normal bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulderkid303 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Smaller/less holes, more heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathwish238 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 I try to keep the shisha below the rim of the bowl, but I imagine it does touch a little. If I hear the shisha starting to burn I immediately move the bowl. I've stopped smoking this bowl because I just haven't been enjoying it. I'll open it up in a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 why i like to do with romman is pour some lemon or lime juice on it before i cover it in foil. THe shisha it's self isnt very moist which imo is the reason why its hard to manage, but just put afew drops of like lime juice on it tooth pick mix it around and you should be golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathwish238 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Anyone have a good foil hole pattern I should try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) citruis ofc it makes it wetter/more citrusy barely altering the flavor, but giving it a great amount of smoke/session time as for hole patterns i perssonaly start on the edges and just keep making going around in cricles...or if i have people over i do every 1's initals...they dont make too much of a difference of how many but how big is what counts...i use a thumb take to pock em so there small and the ash isnt too vunerable to leake in there Edited April 24, 2008 by Anxiety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathwish238 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wow I used some lime juice and this bowl is going a lot better. Thicker smoker, no tickle. I'm using this foil pattern: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxicon347 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 When I smoke Romman, I use one whole 30mm Golden with a circular patter of holes, rotating the coal every ten minutes or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 haha yea, romman is some tricky tobacco...but when you master it it can kick amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathwish238 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 So that Sweet Melon just didn't taste great. Very very light sweet flavor...not what I expected. Orange and Peach for example tasted a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathwish238 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 It worked pretty well. I made the holes as small as possible using a toothpick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 when it comes to romman i only smoke the sweet melon and peach, everything else is kinda lame imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I smoke a lot of Romman. 2 Golden 33m Quicklights or 3 coconarasScreen works best but with foil lots of tiny little holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 romman has this flavor called good times, it's a mixture of apple,orange,mint,and lemmon....omg add some lime juice and it's one of the greatest flavors ive ever smoked. by far my personal favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
