[LB] Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 There was one thing odd about this tobacco, and thats that at first i could not get it going right away, i was using 2 golden charcoals and the smoke was harsh, thin and grating. Then i gave it a second try, this time using some natural charcoal and low and behold thick fluffy white smoke yeildied to my every puff, delicious aromatic fumes filled the room. What im trying to say is that this tobacco needed less heat, and more strategic placement of coals. It might take a little longer to get the hang of using tangiers tobacco, but after your first bowl of it youll realize that it was all worth it. enough dicking around now onto my review Molasses- strong enticing flavors and smell Tobacco- unchopped thick black wads of tobacco Buzz- 10/10 best buzz i have ever had with shisha, unlike nakhala theres no headache or nauseating feelings which was nice, nonetheless its a strong buzz! Smoke- 8/10 dense white fluffy smoke. now heres the difference with tangiers, it seperates the iron lungs from the metro sexual hookahers we see on the front page of the forum. It is strong, and will tickle your throat and lungs. I coughed once or twice but was able to keep the smoke smooth throughout the session by occassionaly purging the valve. The tobacco yeilded allloottt of smoke, and my bowl lasted about an hour. My al fakher usually lasts 30 minutes, cause i tend to plow through the bowl without taking breathes. Taste- The taste was a classic nostalgic double apple flavor, really delicious to smell uncooked and then once again in the smoke. Running my tongue along my teeth i can taste the apple pretty well. The only tobacco that has better flavor i think is AF sweet melon or AF grape. It was a pretty damn good taste, tasted alot like tabac le prince double apple if any of you europeans know about that brand. Brand - this is a new section i add to my reviews, but its important for this review. Tangiers is just a damn good guy and i know he stands behind his tobacco %100, to make sure its the best quality and that it reaches its full potential every bowl you smoke. He was thoughtful enough to send me 9 flavors and a head just for smoking his tobacco- you can tell this man is passionate about his work! He listed the humidity dewpoint stuff and everything to make sure that i had the best smoke of my life, and well, he succeeded in doing just that. and for those of you who skipped right to the end of the review- here is my overall rating Tangiers double apple- 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Good review! I feel exactly the same way about Tangiers' tobacco. It took me about 4 bowls of harshness/burning to get it right...but once I got it down it was a completely different experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Once you master the art of lower charcoal smoking Tangiers (and the heads), your results will improve even more, I'd wager. Thanks for the kind words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Was that Kashmir Apple I sen't you? Or regular apple? I don't make a double apple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Tangiers, Mush and a couple others are curious as to what the "spice taste" is in the Kashmir series. Whatever you do, don't tell. I want a crack at it to see if I can figure it out. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjt486 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I was burning the tobacco harsh with a single golden coal. Single japanese coals or 2 japanese stacked is how I am going now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Actually, I forget the head sizes, they actually look about the same, but I don't remember making any large blue/blacks recently, and I'm fairly sure the purple/white were larges...they are definitely mediums or larges, though.

mushrat Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I can answer that. YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautyica123 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Which are they on the site? Are they listed under "Premium Hookah Heads"? Those heads are perhaps the most similiar to the pictures Tangiers posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipeSmokeMcGee Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 those heads do look pretty nice. i'm waiting for a few samples from the tangman that i am really pumped about. you'll see my reviews when i get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I have a few freaks that were prototypes for a "jumbo" that hold ~95g of Tangiers Tobacco (or 110-120 of other brands). Huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjt486 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The small head you sent me holds more than enough for me right now...I would love to see a jumbo in person however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
