Tangiers: Raspberry

[Loumeer]

So I just got my samples from Tangiers (he is the man) in the mail and
I couldn't wait to try and see what every one was raving about.

So a bunch of us at my dorm went outside today to try it.

The setup was a revolving hookah with 1 hose and we used a single 3
Kings Coal for each bowl.  I did not acclimate the tobacco at all.



This review is for Raspberry:



Cut: Bigger peices of tobacco and very moist, really nice quality.


Taste: Tasted like raspberry but there was a stong taste of something
else that was pretty strong and I think it was the tobacco.  The
raspberry doesn't seem to be stong enough of a taste to cover up the
tobacco flavor.  It did however leave a really nice aftertaste
once you finished smoking.  Was a pretyt big hit but some people
didn't like it as much as the Kashmir Peach.



Smoke:  Hit very strong, maybe I got the coal rolling right this time.  Plenty of smoke and it was very thick.



Buzz: Pretty strong buzz, much more than Kashmir Peach.  Left you feeling dizzy and nice when you finished.


Most everybody liked this flavor but still not as much as Kashmir Peach.
9/10

My results with this flavor were similar. Although, the flavor will become much more defined once it is passed its humidity shock. Still though, it is a lighter flavor. I like to use it to introduce casual smokers to Tangiers =)

Funny, I think that raspberry's flavor changes from humidity shock...sometimes it seems quite strong, to me, maing hookahs in the lounge.

Call me dumb, what is the humidity shock and what can I do to make the falvor more pronounced?

[Sonthert]

Humidity Shock is a condition that tobacco undergoes when the humidity in the air changes faster than the tobacco can change. The tobacco "lags" and will suffer a number of symptoms. The simplest solution is to allow the tobacco to acclimate to the air for 3 or 4 hours.
