Tangiers (lucid) Problem..

[modisess]

Okay, i know most of you guys say that the lucids doesn't need any acclimating.. but i opened some raspberry a couple days ago and it smelled like pure tobacco, slightly burnt smell..

So now I've been aclimating it for 2 days now, and the smell still hasn't changed. I am using rayver's acclimating technique but i am using a plastic wide plate instead of a piece of foil, just for the convenience..

Any thoughts?

have you smoked it yet. Just smoke a bowl. If its horrible stop and take the un smoked tobacco out. if acclimating isnt doing anything thats about your only other option imo

I'd just smoke a bowl regardless of the smell...

Haven't smoked it yet, but gonna try it out later and see how that pans out..

Also, does turning the air conditioner on drastically affects the acclimation process? I've heard that the a/c lowers the humidity somewhat, im not sure.. Edited December 4, 2008 by modisess

I don't know for sure, but I'd think that you should acclimate it in the conditions that you'll be smoking in...

I was going to acclimate my Orange Soda overnight but might end up smoking some tonight (acclimated for about 3hrs now).

Anyway, smoke a bowl and post back if there is a problem. So far it's just the smell, so I don't really see a problem with that.

well, studying culinary i just made myself think that the smell is the taste, i guess only thing to do for me now is to just smoke a bowl of it

as the others have said smoke it and if it doesnt smoke well let it acclimate more. Although lucid is the washed line of tangiers it doesnt hurt to let it acclimate.

I've always had to acclimate mine. As a matter of fact, I've been acclimating some lucid strawberry for two days now, and it still smells like plastic with a hint of strawberry. Could just be because of where I live, but I've always had to acclimate Tangiers, whether it's he regular line or lucid. Some times for less than a day, some times for as much as four or five days.

okay, so im smoking it now.. tastes like fish.. gonna let it acclimate again..

Seems like now, during the winter, there are MORE problems with Tangiers than normal. I think it's just a result of non-consistent daily weather patterns. Wait until you get some consistent daily weather, then smoke the Tangiers. For now, smoke some regular shisha.

That was my lucid-experience as well. Tried some Kashmir Cherry and Bramblebery right out of the bag, both were really crappy. So yeah, I always acclimate mine until they smell right. And as the guy above me stated, winter time and Tangiers is always tricky (has been for me, at least).

it's not winter here, i have a tropical climate all year round.. but now it's the rainy season so i guess it's a little bit more humid than most days..
