Tembo Shisha

[shisha fan]

i just got the tobacco i ordered last week. it`s called tembo and is produced in france by a company called shishamania. they sell their shisha in little tubs of 50 and 100g.

i got two flavors: strawberry candy and raisin namanga (grape), both 100g.

the smell was a little weird when i first opened the cans, but i`m letting it acclimate for now.


the company website: http://tembotobacco.com

apparently they also sell a hookah that uses shisha pads, like with espresso machines http://tembotobacco.com/page.php?id=4


here are some pictures:







a review will follow later tonight.


edit: i forgot to mention that the stuff is 9.5 euros ($14 at the current exchange rates) for 100g

i think you mean this topic stuie: http://www.hookahforum.com/index.php?act=f...&pid=267737

i started that topic too

[Stuie]

That's the one, i couldn't find a place to purchase tembo on the link you posted

[shisha fan]

you can buy some at http://www.rastakado.nl/shop/ and you`ll have to click on "waterpijp tabak". they ship worldwide on request, but it probably isn`t worth it due to the high shipping costs.

thanks JD!, i`ve put the review of the strawberry candy up in te review section.

i`ll do the other one tomorow because i`ve had a couple of beers and i might not be able to taste the complete "pallet" of flavors and thus give it an unfair review.

i`ll keep you guys posted and i`ll buy and review some more tembo flavours in the not too distant future.

I think I have seen that before never had the opportunity to smoke it but I guess I will find out if it is good or not based on your review

[ryno]

Looks interesting, let us know how it smokes.

Also, what kind of Nakhla tin is that you have there? Never seen one like that

I tried some of this last month... it was ok.. I might be able to get my hands on some more for some people in the us to try.. I will have look into that tomorrow..

i made a review of the strawberry candy and i`ll smoke the grape tonigt: http://www.hookahforum.com/index.php?showt...ewpost&f=13

nakhla fakhfakhina mixed fuit (better than the regular one imo).



and over here they sell nakhla in tins and carboard packages. the tin is only 50 cents extra, so naturally i chose that.

I tried some of this last month... it was ok.. I might be able to get my hands on some more for some people in the us to try.. I will have look into that tomorrow..

what flavours did you try? i can only get my hands 4 different flavours at the moment (green apple, strong mint, strawberry candy and raisin namanga).

crap i knew i should have done better in french class in highschool

that little pack hookah looks interesting, just wonder how well those packs can really work. it would probably be a great thing to just take with you on the run/road/trips but idk about all the time

i think that system could be a practical solution for trendy cafes or restaurants, so that the staff doesn`t need to have much knowledge about setting up a hookah but the particular establishment would still be a able to offer their customers a hookah to smoke with their coffee or after dinner.

for us regular hookah smokers it isn`t really interesting, because i`m sure one pad would cost at least as much as 5 bowls worth of tobacco that you packed yourself. still an interesting development that could make hookah more accescible to a larger group of people


i also put the review of the raisin namanga in the review section.
