Sylren Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Why do so many people smoke Tangiers when it is so tempermantal? Is it so good that it's worth all the work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchell8621 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I don't think it is...no Tangiers for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 The idea that tangiers is really just opinion. See i havent ever really had a hard time gettin it to acclimate quickly and effectively and getting it to smoke right. When i acclimate it only takes like 3 or 4 hours for mine to acclimate. I dont live in a climate anything like where its produced either. My climate is very very dry and its produced in i think the san dieago area. I know its produced in a very humid area. But it is really good. Its not for everyone, but i really think that the tempormental-ness of it seems to be an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 no way SC, def depends on your area ... my tang took weeks to smell right. Even though where you are is dry ... if it stays that way, the tobacco will get out of shock ... if you are in a place like where I am ... (weather changes every 20 min) the tobacco will never get out of shock, just keeps going back and forth. The humidity change creates shock ... getting out of shock = steady humidity levels.

Zinite Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm in Arizona. I only smoke Nakhla and Tangiers and AF... mostly Tangiers though. Acclimates in 3 or 4 hours, though I usually leave it out for a few hours after that. I got pretty lucky with the packing method, I learned it the first week. Took me a few weeks after that to learn the heat management.Once I got it down, it smokes better and tastes truer than any other shisha.I also like that it doesn't have any food coloring in it.

dafunk5446 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yeah I have also been lucky. I have never had problems getting it to acclimate. Also in terms of packing, I can pack it tight, loose, medium and it smokes fine for me (mostly, some I do have to cram it in there). Never had problems with it getting harsh, short of burning it. So you never know, it might work fine for you and have no problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 the best bowl of shisha i've ever smoked was tangiers, the flavor was nasty, it was the lucid passionfruit, i was sitting on my porch and it was raining and i was billowing clouds out of myself, it was nice, but i'm not a passionfruit kinda guy. perhaps horchata in the near future.

Im like mattarios here, I live in Indiana and thw weather changes constantly here. Last week, foot of snow, this week, 60 degrees and no coat, next week, cold again, it can be hard to get right, but when it is, its great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canon Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i havent had to acclimate it over a year... acclimation is overrated. heat management is underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 in most cases I'd agree ... not in my case, I even tried 2 use 2-3 half pieces of those al'aweal coals or whatever those things r, the HC coals and still harsh.Canon come over to my place and pack me a bowl ... then you will believe me :-)When the shisha smells like soy sauce for over 3 weeks ... you know it is the weather causing the issue.

shisha fan Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 definately not woth it to me. way too much hassle to eventually end up with a mediocre smoke, no thanks. smoking is all about relaxation to me, thats why i`ll just stick to nakhla.

I used to buy a lot of it but I just stick to Nakhla, Layalina, AF, and Fumari now. They all smoke really well, taste great and that's what's important.

indian_villager Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 If any of yall get it right you will understand what the hype is about. I just finished another delicious bowl of melon blend. I love the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I have gotten it right before, it is great stuff, it's awesome stuff, but everyone is different and for me, it's not great enough 2 deal with the issues in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapten Kanel Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Its defineatly an issue for some people including me (i live in sweden so it isnt that weird, lol the word climate shock is not enough), orange soda (caffeinated) smells delicous but with a slight tobacco smell or something, its also kinda dry compared to the other flavours i bought, need to buy some glycerine (or agave syrup if i can find any). Blueberry has a very special smell, it does smell kinda like blueberrys but very "earthy". I have acclimated for maybe a total of 5 days, i dont think it will get better than it is now, gonna try some blueberry now actually, ill report my failure soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylren Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yeah, I think I'll steer clear. I live in Calgary and the weather here is crazy. The humidity and pressure changes every half hour. Thanks for all the input guys : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bye bye now have fun Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i had mine come frozen solid and it worked fine after a day and a half. it was 60F a day or to ago and now its snowing and dry as a bone and still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arhutch Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 id agree with a few of you......some people like it and some dont. in most cases the people that dont like it had a bad experience with it their first time. when its packed right, and ample amount of heat is supplied, its spectacular!!!! flavor is amazing, and smoke off the first pull. i could smoke it every day!HOURS OF ENJOYMENT!!!

Bulldog_916 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I love Tangiers. From the moment I got Brambleberry right, I never looked back. Stuff is awesome. Nakhla, Layalina, and sometimes AF are good too, but nothing like the awesomeness of the Tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 i like tangiers, although i'll only be buying the lucid line..it has the most realistic flavor out of any brand i've smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier92 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) I think that people have problems with Tangiers at first, but when you learn packing and heat management on it it smokes like any other tobacco, oftentimes better than any other tobacco. It has a learning curve but it does not smoke differently when you get it right. This makes acclimating the only real finnicky part, which for some people can take under 5 hours, so it really isn't a big deal.I personally love the stuff now that I know how to smoke it, I get better flavor and smoke from it than anything else.
