Tangiers’ Kashmir Peach

[JByer323]

[b]Flavor Reviewed:[/b] Tangiers’ Kashmir Peach[b]Setup:[/b] MYA screw on acrylic[b]Ma’assel Total Weight:[/b] I didn’t weigh this, but it was very generous. My guess would be around 120 grams for a free sample.[b]Background:[/b] I was lucky to get in on the most recent sample offering from Tagniers, and I must say, the man is very, very generous. He sent me seven flavors, my guess is close to a total weight of 750 grams. Therefore, he is also my new hero. From now on, instead of throwing away the foil after a smoking session, I am going to save it, and construct a life-sized statue out of him that will live in my closet. Every time I get ready to smoke, I will whisper sweet nothings into the statue’s ear, and ask for prosperity in my smoking session. Occasionally I might smack it on the ass as well.[b]Appearance:[/b] Woah. Going from Starbuzz to this was a change. But I like it, it feels real. It looks almost like chewing tobacco. Whole pieces of rich, black tobacco. There’s no hiding what you’re smoking here, and it’s a beautiful thing. The large chunks pack easily, and allow plenty of air to go through. This stuff is moist and sticky, but not quite to the point it is doing the backstroke in juices.[b]Smell:[/b] Well, the undertones are easier to describe, so we’ll start there. The undertones are the peach, plain and simple, and least according to my nose. It smells like a big ripe peach. Not really artificial at all to me. But the smell that really hits you is the spiciness of the Kashmir. It almost reminds me of a spiced drink or pumpkin pie, something of that nature, with hints of jasmine and other things I can’t identify.[b]Flavor:[/b] First off, the peach flavor was the underdog here, at least to me. My guess is about 60/40, in favor of the Kashmir. The peach isn’t one of the “candy” flavors, more like Nakhla I guess. You know it’s peach you taste; it’s simply a little abstract. Now, the spiciness of the Kashmir is hard for me to put into words. There are so many flavors going around in there, it’s just insane. I taste everything from hints of cinnamon to jasmine, with a flavor like a spiced drink, minus the drink part. Maybe like one of those scented candles. I don’t know, this one has got me in terms of words, but I love it. You don’t just taste the flavor, you feel the spices as well.[b]Smoke Density:[/b] Rich. Thick. Manly. There’s no silk to this stuff. If you don’t pay attention, it will kick you in the nuts, and the worst part is you’re bound to like it. It took me three minutes or so to get up to full smokage, but from then on it was full steam ahead, batten down the hatches, Captain.[b]Roomnote:[/b] My father said it smelled like potpourri, which I guess I could see. My mom really liked the smell, and sat and talked with me while I smoked for about 45 minutes, just because she liked the smell. Both my parents are non-smokers.[b]Buzz:[/b] I expected a runaway train. Instead, it was more like easing your way into a sauna. It builds up slowly, until you feel it through you’re whole body. It’s a little sloppy feeling, but mellow at the same time. I like it.[b]Overall Impressions:[/b] I’ll be honest. It took me three times smoking Tangiers’ to get the hang of packing, smoking, and the heat management. This stuff is different, it feels a lot less refined. I had to start out slow, but by my third bowl, I was super into it. I can’t see myself smoking a whole lot of anything else from now on. As for the flavor, well, it pretty much kicks ass. This stuff is special. It’s different. It’s amazing, and I am in love.[b]Rating:[/b] 10.0 out of 10.0

WOW.....Nice review!  I'm placing a BIG order next week for some Tangiers and will be reviewing it soon,  around the 24th of the month.  I always order Overnight Delivery,  which is very expensive,  but I don't like waiting.  And I know from smoking cigars that the cold outside can be very bad for the tobacco.  So the sooner it gets here the better.  Thanks for that awesome review

My pleasure, I hope to get the other flavors reviewed soon.
