thepyrofish Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Alrighty...I can't believe I let this fall to page 4! I quit smoking last night (cigarettes ) so I figure I'll be using my hookah a bit more for the next little while to keep cravings down. Yay for me!Ok, Tangiers cinnamonCut: Tangiers. Big ass leaves coated in syrups goodness. It's brown, lacking the weird crazy colouring that other brands have. Smell: Actually smells like cinnamon, not like that fake cinnamon flavour/smell that candies and gum tend to have. Smoke: I got my heat management bang on this time...I'm currently smoking it and when I exhale I get huge opaque clouds that obscure my laptop screen. Then they fade away because I'm in a pretty large room. Perfect!Taste: Doesn't have that really sweet taste that quite a few fruit flavours have. The tobacco taste comes through a little bit, which I find with all the Tangiers I've tried. My friend doesn't like that so much, but I'm a cigar smoker so it's great. As I mentioned, the cinnamon flavour is more realistic than I expected. Almost like you're baking something. Not really strong but definately there. Goes really well with the coffee I'm drinking since it isn't too sweet. Almost seems that there is another, more subtle sub-flavour in with the cinnamon. This could also be my imagination Overall, I hesitate to give this a numerical rating. It's definately a high quality shisha with a very accurate taste, but it's not the type of flavour I would smoke too often. It makes a great change to my regular lineup, when I want hookah but nothing in my rotation really appeals to me at the time. Definately worth a try if you get a chance (if you like cinnamon that is)Also, I let a friend take a little to give me her opinion but she mixed it with F-Line Apple. I will still ask her what she thought of it, but it wasn't a pure sample. She wanted to make apple pie shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofdavid Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If you're giving away free samples to be reviewed, I'll buy a QT to smoke it in just to give you a review. I shot Mya an e-mail for an azure one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Ok... sorry 'bout the delay, but I've been REALLLY busy with moving and what not... I tried some tangiers raspberry that I got from Mush... and here it goes...I opened up the bag and smelled it... OMG, it's like Raspberry Fig Neutons *sp?*... I played around with the heat management alot and got it to smoke fine for just a couple of minutes, but those couple of minutes rocked. Everything I thought tangiers would be... REALLY thick smoke, heck of a buzz *it was like I was suddenly hit by a train*... and it tasted great. I have enought for another bowl... which I will smoke after I get an herb grinder and my Stargate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafedelmar Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 [quote name='mushrat']Newest review: AF cherry: Now, we smoked this stuff at the local cafe. Used my QT with a screen and some finger coals. Its typical AF cut and very wet. Usual bright red. It SMELLS like sweet cherry candy. Very sweet and syrupy. The taste was not nearly as strong. It was definitly cherry, and it lasted a decent amount of time before petering out. But it wasn't super strong tasting. Some of the others said they stoped tasting the flavour before i did, I think the starbuzz SS blend we were smoking in the other hookah may have coloured their opinions, and their palates. (review of that is in the "more strbuzz reviews" thread started by lakemonster.) I'm going to set this one up at home and try it again and see if I can't get some more flavour out of this puppy. I'm lookin foreward to seeing what some of you tohers I've sent samples to think... Thanks Wyte... [/quote]Tried this stuff in January and I have to say it's one of the best bowls I had ever smoked. My friend brought some of it over from Saudi, and we were surprised. It was nice and wet, great smoke density, GREAT flavour and smell and it lasted a long while too. The batch I had was a 9/10 IMOMush also sent me a sample of Tangiers Kashmiri Peach around the same time, and that was some great smelling stuff. Very strong smell, not my favourite flavour, but other people I know loved it. The smoke was good, although heat management took some effort, i got quite the rush, and it did become harsh. Definitely wouldn't recommend to the novice, but great for an expert. The flavour also ended up staying in my stargate for another couple of bowls. I didn't like the flavour too much, so I'd probably give it a 6.5, but based on everything else it would have been an 7.5. I'd be inclined to buying more Tangiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yeah, its not everybody's flavor, and acclimating a nicotinated tobacco is important, so, some people have trouble initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
