Tangiers Green Tea W/ Honey Review!

[Bulldog_916]

Tangiers Green Tea w/ Honey (BETA) (Thank you Eric!)

Hookah: 23 inch Syrian from Hookah Company

Bowl: Tangiers Mini Phunnel

Coals: Golden Canary Japanese Coals

Foil: Regular Foil from Chef's Review

Hose: Grand Washable from Caravan Sarai Imports

Appearance: Standard, dark, rough cut, normal Tangiers consistency

Smell: The smell is a bit hard to place. It smells floral like I suppose a tea flavor should. There's a little bit of sweetness there but that could come from the tobacco or the honey flavor.

Taste: The taste is lighter than you would think at first glance. On the inhale, you get the tea flavor, it has to sit in your mouth for a little while to fully get it. I found that it more closely resembled white tea flavor just because of the lightness of the tea taste. Then you really have to exhale a little bit through your nose to get the sweet finish. It takes some time to get your palate to zone in on the small variances. I smoked this last night and it was refreshing in many ways. If you have a cold glass of iced tea or iced green tea with you it makes it even better. I love the fact that it was easy on the inhale and even if you heated it a little above its tolerance, it didnt kill you with a burned fruit flavor or something of the sort. You could always bring it back to the sweet spot.

Scoring:

Since pre-release I cant say for sure the scoring will remain the same between this batch and the "release" batch. So you will have to take this as preliminary scoring.

Smell: I like the smell, you get the floralness of the tea flavor and the sweetness of the honey is a little bit deeper and sort of mixed in. 8.5/10

Taste: I love the taste, kind of light with a honey finish on the nose. Good flavor to smoke during the hot summer months with a glass of iced tea or sweet green tea. I just wish it was a hint more pronounced on both the tea and the honey flavors. 9/10

Duration: As most Tangiers tobacco does, this flavor lasted well over 3 hours in the miniphunnel and I still have half the bowl to go. Great duration: 10/10

Overall 9.5/10. This flavor is extremely good. I loved the complexities of the taste and smell. I think it's well worth trying.

Regular. Lucid just doesnt do it for me anymore. I know where my bread is buttered and it's in the OG line.
