ih303 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Not sure how experienced you are, but just as a general disclaimer, a lot of people on this forum will always and without fail suggest Tangiers as the best of every flavor out there. But, as is evident by the sheer number of "Tangiers Difficulty" posts, it has a tendancy to be relatively finicky compared to other brands. I tell you this simply because I've seen people get turned off of hookah entirely based solely on their experience(s) with Tangiers. But, take this disclaimer with a grain of salt. There flavors are excellent and if you can get it to work, more power to you.That being said, although it's a bit too sweet for me, Starbuzz Blue Mist was always a number one seller at the lounge. Like afore mentioned, it's Blueberry and Menthol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyk Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Tangiers blueberry is really good n smells great but I really like Al waha blueberry not only cause it has good flavor but its cheap like $7 for a 250g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 i'll tell you right now, Tangiers Blueberry may not be your cup of tea. I don't care for it much....but, then again...i was expecting more of a candy blueberry flavor....instead of the Blueberry Muffin of Tangiers Blueberry (yes, muffin flavor included.)

But, as is evident by the sheer number of "Tangiers Difficulty" posts, it has a tendancy to be relatively finicky compared to other brands.I think that some of those people saying they have problems are pulling our legs. Quite a few have very specific problems that do indeed exist. On the other hand, if somebody hadn't tried Tangiers and didn't want to (or couldn't for one reason or another)...what would be the best way to explain that? Say they tried it and it won't acclimate. 90% of people who buy Tangiers do so without any problems. I see a good number of threads about other brands of tobacco having problems too. I think any brand of tobacco has problems give or take. I would also say that many of the problems people have, independent of the brand, are acclimation issues. Tangiers has a lot of thought put into it and we talk about acclimating Tangiers. Acclimating AF, Nakhla or Starbuzz is kind of an afterthought. I have heard lots of people talk about how a tub of X from some brand other than Tangiers started out good and went bad. If it started out bad, they often put it off to the flavor and never smoke it again...maybe it would acclimate and smoke well and they would like it. Sometimes people are iffy on a flavor but smoke it again and like it. Slight acclimation issue? By all accounts Eskanderani Apple by AF is an awesome flavor, some people report that its awful and they hate it. They don't even acknowledge that its a good flavor that just isn't their cup of tea. They say the flavor is awful...yet all these other people say its a good flavor. Other people report it started out great and then got awful. If it were Tangiers, we'd say it was acclimation related...for Al Fakher we just dismiss it? Doesn't seem too fair. Tangiers would be finicky...Al Fakher Eskanderani Apple is...what then? Its probably acclimation related in the case of AF Eskanderani Apple, too. Same thing for AF grape. Ketchup smell? Acclimation issue possibly. The smell changes back to normal (for most people) after a little while (acclimation). For some people, it always smells off and ketchupy. Like Tangiers is for some people, smells off and stays that way. So, no I wouldn't agree that Tangiers is more finicky per se. Since it has nicotine, it being out of acclimation is more prominent. Could the ketchup smell from Al Fakher be related to the base tobacco, the way BBQ smell is to Tangiers? Possibly. It might explain a lot and even more strongly point to acclimation issues. Just a few thoughts. Ian, I addressed your envelope today and you should be receiving it early next week so we can try out some new acclimation stuff.

When talking tobacco, I would base my recommendations on this observation. If someone was just starting off and had little concept of packing procedures and heat management, I would recommend some basic brand like SB or AF, depending on their tastes. For the more enlightened smokers out there, I would always recommend Tangiers. I would tell them it was a challenge and even I had never really gotten it to work.

They drive down to Denver quite a bit to visit a lounge down there that serves Tangiers and are blown away by the quality of the smoke and flavor. Yet when they buy it on their own, they have the same acclimation issues I do.My point is, I see Tangiers as the Soufflé of the hookah world. It's delicious and exquisite when done right, but definitely not a recipe to hand a first time cook and can be challening for even the most profficient cook.
