Damn dude... and I thought I went overboard getting a kilo and a half without even having tried the stuff yet...I ordered the following:BlueberryF-line appleApricotGrapeKashmir PeachRed TeaI'll write some reviews too if I feel I've got the smoking technique down well enough to voice an opinion on the stuff. I'll be especially interested in hearing how you make out with the black thorn, apricot spring blend, cinnamon, and pear...

Yeah, I have only tried 3 of the flavors on that list, Tangiers sent me
some samples to try.  I am not that worried about it, I know that
Tangiers does not screw around with his products and he only sells them
if they are quality.  I am positive that these flavors are going
to rock.

I am really stoked about the apricot spring blend.  It's making my mouth water just thinking about it .

You should write reviews no matter what experience you have, it is
always nice to have another review out there.  I have been smoking
narkila with my family since I was 13 and I would still respect
anybody's opinion and I am sure the same holds true for anybody on this
forum.

Oh and I am also excited for my new Mya QT coming on Tuesday .

Oh boy am I excited to get ahold of this stuff...Nice to hear a comment about the Apricot because I was just over at hookahforum.net (which I didn't even know existed until today) and someone was really trashing it along with a few other flavors, saying they had no flavor whatsoever. I'll just assume those guys don't know what they're doing...

The only way to make Tangiers taste like absolute crap is to not smoke it right.  The tobcco is very finicky and requires that you use the right amount of tobacco and the right amount of heat.  In my experience, if one of these is off by just a little, the tobacco can taste bad or ashy, AKA - it was burned too fast.Once you get your tobacco, play around with it for a little, use 1/2 of a coal, 3/4 of a coal, 1 coal, etc until you figure out what works best with your setup.  Once you get it all figured out (which may take a few bowls) I promise you will have one of the best smoking sessions ever .Hope that helps.--Amichai Israeli

Oh, almost forgot.  If you are using a 3 Kings Coal or something similarly shaped, use the rounded side to start off and than when the smoke starts to die down a little switch to the flat side.I am not sure what this does exactly but if I had to guess I would say it has something to do with the amount of surface area that is heating up the tobacco.Again, I am not sure why this works, but I know that sometimes I would burn the tobacco with one coal and this works for me now almost 100% of the time.--Amichai Israeli

If you are using 3 kings, I recommend you break your discs into quarters before lighting and then light quarters to use for smoking Tangiers...2-4 quarters are recommended from my testing. Note: 4 quarters IS different than one whole one...the heat from one whole one is more concentrated.
