cymptom Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yeah it really does seem silly that the tobacco is dyed... yet I can't deny that the sight of bright green tobacco really pleases me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Since other people can flagrantly use untested or unproven websites, I will, too.Information on food coloring:http://www.cspinet.org/reports/chemcuisine.htmSee, under "Artificial Colors"It is likely that the following colors are used in tobacco:Blue#1Yellow#5 (Yellow)Yellow#6 (Orange)Red#40That "green color" is a keyed combination of the colors, likely blue 1 or blue 2 and yellow five or six, while orange is actually yellow #6 (or is it yellow#5, one is orange, one is yellow but I forget which is which). The philosophy of the passage on artificial colors, which I share, of course, is:"Most artificial colorings are synthetic chemicals that do not occur in nature...you should simply avoid all artificially colored foods.The use of coloring usually indicates that fruit or other natural ingredient has not been used."The information on artificial flavors is intersting, but not applicable to tobacco flavors. None of Tangiers' flavors use HVP or MSG.In short, Steve, I think the answer to the question "Why dye it?" is to make you think there is something natural in it. I have heard people directly lie and say "The color is because of the natural fruit." or "It only contains fruit, honey and glycerine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve07 Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 I don't get it, I for one prefer it in it's natural state coloring it wouldn't change my impression one the product eaither way. Just because it's colored doesn't mean it's a good product. but thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 why did they make pepsi blue? why are candies colored? because it looks good. people like colors.i dont think it affects taste and i doubt its dangerous but i would like havana to not color it. oh well ill still smoke it.

cymptom Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I think it just has to do with meeting people's expectations of the flavor. If its a fruity flavor, they expect bright colors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve07 Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 I understand that, for example candy to entise kids to get fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I would think that the coloring in tobacco might be the safest way to use coloring...you probably aren't ingesting any of it. I just want to put it out there, so people don't say "You knew and didn't tell us?!?" there are problems, potentially. Now you all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteHookah.com Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Havana is by far my favorite. Especially for the price. It's priced like a mid-level tobacco (less than Fahkar) but maintains a better taste. It's very true to the flavor, I wouldn't describe it as a "candy tobacco". Al-waha fits that description better. Havana also does not have the harsh, gritty tobacco taste on the end like Nahkla and some flavors of Fumari. The price is pretty nice.

DownZero Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I think I read that it's just Red Apple... But I could be wrong.. I really enjoy Special Apple from Havana. Very refreshing for me.. and my buds enjoyed it as much as I did. I've smoked Strawberry, Special Apple, and Plum... Special Apple being my favorite so far.. others were still very good smokes.

EliteHookah.com Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yah, Rawan apple is just red apple. Bahrani apple has a strong anise (black licorice) taste. Eskendrani apple is a sweet, green apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 So far this stuff is excellent. Compared to Nahkla you'd sware this stuff was just candy turned into smoke. Really nice stuff. Also seems like elitehookah has some excellent prices for the stuff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve07 Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Yes I think it is better than nahkla but it does'nt change my opinion on how sweet it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
