Doesn't look like the coals are quite done.


Mine look like that sometimes just coming off the stove. While on the stove they are completely red but when I take them off like the top side will become black.. I dont think thats the reason..

You may have too much heat. I light 3 cocos w/ tangiers but i don't throw the 3rd on till about half way through. Just at thought.

Keep us updated. I just got my first Tangiers yesterday and haven't tried it yet.


+1. I'm still waiting on my small phunnel to arrive. Should be here today or tomorrow (I hope). I have a large phunnel that I've never used, but that thing on top of a hookah is....just silly. I've seen churches with smaller spires. It's friggin' gargantuan.

This is lucid right JD? If so i dont pack a whole lot. I just put it in the bowl and push it in just enough to where its even with the top of the bowl. I trust you on the coals being lit, mine do that some times. But for the coal taste i would think that it might be too much coal, cause i only use 2 pieces of exotica. Also did you acclamte? Cause lucid still needs some. Let us know how it goes on the next try.

I know this sounds like blasphemy, but pack it in a normal bowl like you would anything else. Holes like you would for AF or Nakhla. Light heat, 2 coals strictly. Tangiers is pretty heat sensitive. If it's in the phunnel, try less heat, bigger holes, definitely. I cant put more than 2 coals on the bowl before I burn it.

It's rather funny you mentioned this Bully_D. I was considering this same thing this morning, just putting in my normal deep,wide saudi bowl and throwing a little less heat on.

I am also wondering if how I am storing it makes a difference? I'm storing in quite a tight container then fluffing it out into the bowl.... I may look into find some wide shallow storage containers today.

But tonight I'm going to try it in a standard bowl on my standard setup.

Storage never really made a difference for me with either the Flacid (just for you JD) or the Original line. You gotta pack it a certain way with either. I smoked Lucid watermelon last weekend and it smoked much better for me out of the regular Egyptian bowl than the phunnel. Less time, yes, but better smoke, more flavor. Plus if I had kept going I could have gone for 4 or 5 hours. I chose to keep it at 3 (out of the normal bowl).

I cannot begin to tell you how right you were......
