FamiliarJoe Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Ive finally decided that I really need to get some Tangiers and see what it's all about. What flavor is an easy flavor to get right and taste great?I am also wondering what the best way to acclimate (or how long I should acclimate). Since I live in FL I would guess the humidity would play a big factor in this.What do ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Watermelon is one of the easiest ones to get right...I got that one right before even joining the forum.I would acclimate till it smells right, here in texas it's less than 24 hours usually.

inino Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 i recommend lucid. Most of the flavors are excellent and it has very little trouble with heat management and is easy to pack. horchata, K-cherry, brambleberry, passionfruit to name a few good ones. I know the first few times i smoked tangiers it was really hard to get right and i wasted alot, thats why i would say do lucid, but if you have patience you can get the og stuff right too.

Sonthert Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I wouldn't advise it. When you're ready, you'll know it. Tangiers isn't a bandwagon, its a snowplow. Stick with other fine brands, like Al Fakher, Nahkla, Starbuzz and the like.When you're ready, we'll still be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have smoked most AF flavors, it's what I smoke daily. Don't get me wrong I do love AF and other brands, I just want something different. Been smoking hookah for almost 2 years now...I want some change !! I own a small phunnel bowl and I really think it won't be broken in until I pack it with some Tangiers =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilded777 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Guava, guava, guava...Ok, I've only had two flavors so far... and maybe I've been lucky, because I've not had any issues (admittedly, I did some research, and bought a phunnel before I ever bought the tobacco); but the guava will knock your socks off.I've got og Apple, and Lucid Watermelon and Apple waiting to try.I want MORE!

GreatPigHookah Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Some of the easier ones I've tried :Static Starlight - The best grape-like shisha I've ever had, IMOHorchata - tastey spiced rice/milk flavorChocolate Mint - strongest flavored shisha I've had - flavor hits you like a sledgehammerMint - Very, very good mint that's easy to smoke - just the right strengthKashmir Peach - Strong incense flavor with a good hint of peach Kashmir Cherry - Similar to above, a little stronger fruit flavor, cherry tartnessPink Grapefruit - this stuff is awesome, have some cold gin along with it and it flat out ROCKS.For the more adventurous smoker:Marigold - Earthy, smells like crushing marigolds between your fingers - goes great with red wine. One of my personal favorites but probably not for everyone.Indigo Flower - Very similar to marigold, earthy floral but sweeter - also excellent with red wine.

SuburbanSmoker Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Lucid is good stuff and easy to get right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shesha1 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Brother, K cherry is a revalation. Get lucid K cherry, and you will be happy if it was the last puff you every take! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I will have to go with the masses and say get K-Cherry. One of my favorites. K-Peach is great also, but its hit or miss for most people who I have smoked it with. You either love it or hate it.I have been smoking a lot of Melon Blend lately too. Reminds me of Nakhla Sweet Melon a lot, but the flavor is stronger and there is a little bit more to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjako Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Dunno how, but I always screwed up my k cherry I've had a lot of forgiving success (taking a crappy starting session into an awesome bonanza of goodness) with Cool Strawberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I smoked pineapple perfect the first time. Very stable flavor if you ask me.one that seems to be another good one that i like ot recommend is horchata.also K-Peach =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 lucid k cherry...out of every flavor of every brand its the easiest to get good flavor and lasts the longest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylren Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Lucid Horchata is awesome! And easy to get right, you don't want to go wasting a bunch of Tangiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbs Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 For Noir Tangiers Tropical Revenge! was very easy for myself, it was acclimated and smelled good from the moment I got it, and it's an easy one to setup. Blueberry was pretty much the same way, but required a small amount of acclimation.As far as Lucid goes, you can't go wrong with any of them, I've bought everything but Passion Fruit & Strawberry and I have had 0 problems with any flavors.. smoking Brambleberry right now.
