dj groove Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 would me being from overseas have anything to do with it taking longer like having it shipped from usa to aus and being packed in a box for allmost 2 weeks would that have anything to do with it taking so long ?????

mattarios2 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 When people acclimate and can't get it too smell right, usually that means its a bad batch. I personally have never gotten a bad batch of tangiers so I am not a huge help, but acclimating 3 days should be plenty, plenty long enough. Give it a try, you have acclimated long enough. If its bad, I say seal it up for a couple days, re-acclimate and try again, if still doesn't smell good, I'd say throw it out unfortunately and move on.

Stuie Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 matt is kind of right i have gotten a bad batch before, but on the plus...after acclimated for 4 days or so I smoked it anyway, the flavor wasn't amazing, but it was still pretty good... just smoke it and see.

lauralister31 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I say if it does not work after time #2 give a call or email to the dealer you got it from and see what he can do for you. I have had some bad schnozzberry. I will not say al is bad but the tangiers i have now does not hold its flavor as long as regular or also contact Eric an Tangiers from his site and see if he can help.

Bulldog_916 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) Smoke it first before you assume it doesnt somehow smell right. If it is harsh, take some heat off of it, that's the main culprit in harshness. If it is giving a tickle in the back of the throat, acclimate longer. I highly doubt you'll need to acclimate longer. So just smoke it and dial in the heat. Should be golden. It takes a little practice. Stop expecting great things in your first few attempts at it. You'll dial it in, it just takes patience. Trial and error. Edited August 23, 2008 by Bulldog_916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
