Zyram Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 So, I ran out of Tangiers . I've got some potion, fantasia, hookah hookah, and al waha left over but... yeesh. Nothing compares. What are some others I should order that might compare with Tangiers? I ordered more Tangiers and some more coco's too, but until that arrives in a few days, I may just take a break from hookah. I just can't get any flavors to work as well as the tangiers, I typically like the after nine flavor (ordered some choco-mint Tangiers, anyone tried it?) but even that seems kinda pale to the flavor I get from Tangiers. I think I'm starting to sound too fanboi-ish, so what else should I try to broaden my hookah horizons?-Zekran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyram Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Fantasia P-spice is good, had a free sample I thought was great, got a 250g tub and ... well, tastes very chemically in the aftertaste, not sure maybe a bad batch? I'll def order some Nakhla though, and AF.-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 nothing. its seriously all shit. i think its been 2 years of almost 100% tangiers exclusively. ive tried other things but they are nasty, and my friends seem to agree.chocomint > after 9...lol.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I completely disagree. Tangiers is good but not the only good option. Go with the above suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 haha everything is def not shit, tangiers is yummy, but there are many many other good brands/flavors how could someone not enjoy nakhla sweet melon or nakhla mint or nakhla strawberry ... yada yada the list goes on including with AF.

Hippo_Master Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Once you go Tangiers, there's no way back. The flavors are just so spot-on and so strong and mouth-watering; how can the inconsistency of AF, the sickeningly sweet syrup of Fantasia, the chemical blast of Starbuzz even compare? If it's for you, Tangiers is the best tobacco, and there's no point in going "back". The closest you will find is Nakhla, try the Earl Grey, Peach, Sweet Melon, Mint, Choco-Mint, Cinnamon, and definitely Mandarin. The Mandarin will be the closest to Tangiers you can get in my opinion, without touching the Deity that Tangiers truly is. Tangiers is pure awesomeness, raw power encompassed in a mo'assell shell. There's just absolutely no way to pick a substitute, nothing will calm your raging Tangiers-craving palate, except more Tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyram Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 I should have more Tangiers in this weekend. Ordered 5 types, couple lucid, couple normal, and an F-Line spearmint (they were out of the spearmint so they sent an orange soda, gotta go check the review on that). Can't wait! I had to get express shipping, I'm killing myself for not ordering more BEFORE I ran out lol. I really do like tangiers so much, but I'll give Nakhla a try on my next order too. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who likes tangiers so much.-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakhla will tide you over, I promise, but definitely not the weak flavors like Apricot (although tasty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drabin Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Nakhla mandarin is amazing. If you can get a 250 of that you will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inino Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 tangiers is pretty damn spot on as far as flavor and smoke comes. however if you want to try some new stuff and looking for that burst of flavor when everything just tastes bland. imo go starbuzz. pumpkin pie, bluemist, passion fruit mojito, marlet, tangerine dream (one of my favs), tequila sunrise. ya they have a little chemical taste, but for the most part they pack a burst of flavor that can get you out of the " hmm what do i want to smoke tonight" even though you have 30 tubs of tobacco sitting right in front of you.

Bulldog_916 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I gotta agree that Tangiers is awesome. But I love Nakhla too. AF has been good to me in the few flavors I've tried. Starbuzz hasnt been too bad either. The good parts of Nakhla and Starbuzz is that they are really easy to pack and smoke. Nakhla is a heat whore, takes it like a big copper sink. Starbuzz is extremely easy to smoke, makes for huge clouds, etc. But it is very spotty on keeping the flavor through the whole session. Usually it doesnt. I say it isnt worth the 20 bucks asked by most places. AF is better out of a phunnel than a normal bowl. The normal bowls just cant handle the juiciness. That's the other reason I like Nakhla. The juices dont run down the stem. Makes for easy cleanup and repacking for another smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysolz Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I've recently gone Tangiers exclusive as well. Some of my [old] favorites - F Pumpkin Spice, Blue Myst, AF Cafe Latte, etc. don't even taste good to me anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
