Victim026 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 It's only making a 60 mile journey from Austin to San Antonio, although it has been on a Fedex truck all day... So what say you friends, do you think with maybe an hour's acclimation it'll be ready to smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 it was sealed after packaging in san diego so i doubt it will be smokeable out of the bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 really doubt it. eric says 18 hours is standard, but here in texas, it seems to take well over that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilarseny Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) What I've noticed is different flavors react differently. Very rarely will I smoke Tangiers without acclimating unless I'm extremely impatient one day, but the couple times I've tried it I've had mixed results. Blueberry and Passion Fruit both were fine out of the bag, though obviously after acclimation both became less harsh. Raspberry and Maraschino Cherry both were horrid out of the bag. Those are the four I've tried unacclimated, and two succeeded.. 50% odds? Though obviously 4 flavors is not a representative sample...

mattarios2 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I'd say slim to none, I mean it may be smokeable but i highly doubt it will be completely enjoyable. In my experiences when not acclimated it was misery but then again I am in MA, I guess you will never know unless you try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdl Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Smell it after you open it. If it has a bbq smell then for sure acclimate it. I would acclimate no matter what because there's nothing worse than setting up your hookah and getting everything prepared only to find out the tobacco isn't ready.

mattathayde Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 well ive had tangiers that i never got to acclimate, and tangiers that smoked fine out of the package, i think it is hit and miss, just depends-matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Well here's hoping one of the OG Tangiers is ready to go tonite, I think there's some lucid too so if worse comes to worse I can always smoke that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachfersure Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I live an hour away from SD, do I need to acclimate it much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 bud just read this thread, read what MDL said, if it smells right smoke it, you will know if it smells right or not. Trust me, it smells like BBQ or Soy Sauce as already stated when it needs acclimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I'm smoking Mint that I just bought after no acclimation. It was probably sitting on the shelf at a local smoke shop for months though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victim026 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 The odd's don't matter anymore... I'll explain tommorrow when I'm sober and not so upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 What matters is the dewpoint when we made it. If I seal the package when the dewpoint is 60F here, and you open it when the dewpoint is 60F at your house, it will smoke fine. Also, if it smells burnt or like soy sauce. Thats humidity shock, too.

Zyram Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I got some grape that was smokeable about an hour after I opened it. I'm in Connecticut, maybe it's the flavor or maybe it was the dew point, either way, I was very happy! Grape is my new 2nd favorite after spearmint from Tangiers =)-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
