LZ22 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Title says it all, after a month of being smoke free, I tried tangiers og and nakhla mizo for the very first time. Oh, and I also used all of them with a phunnel for the very first time as well. I'll start with the mizo: I got guava and watermelon. I think guava was overhyped or maybe I just don't like guava. It still tasted amazing though. Then I tried watermelon by itself. Holy crap! After a year and a half of smoking, I didn't even know shisha could taste this good. It literally tasted like I was chewing that bubbalicious watermelon bubble gum. And the flavor lasted the entire two rounds of coco's! I was smoking with my roommates and I found myself hogging the hose because I couldn't get enough of the flavor. I'm definitely going to be ordering watermelon with every single order I make. The next day I tried that "guavamelon" mix. 60% guave, 40% watermelon. Must say this didn't taste that good. I'm going to try the reverse with maybe 70% watermelon. This mix made my throat tickle every single hit, and thats never happened before to me. Finally, last night, my Tangiers Static Starlight was acclimated and ready to smoke. Wow. What a great flavor. When I took a hit, the smoke itself didn't have as powerful as flavor as the mizo watermelon, but the after taste was so powerful it made me almost lick my lips! Everyone loved the flavor. Also, I got the acclimation, packing, and heat management all done perfect on my very first try! I should get a medal or something I think Nakhla Mizo is definitely my go-to line now, as it is amazing for the price I can get it at. Tangiers is more pricey, but I am definitely going to continue to get at least 1 new flavor every single order, and kind of keep it as my premium, special occasion smoke Well, that was my phenomenal weekend of firsts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetNut Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sounds awesome man.... glad you got the Tangiers down at the first time.... not many people can claim that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I can see how some people might not like the guava. The Mizo watermelon does taste just like bubblelicious, try mixing a little mint in with it. Good job on getting Tangiers right the first time. I think some people just over complicate it sometimes, and Static Starlight is probably one of my favorite (and I think best) Tangiers flavors!

SultanofSmoke Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Guava is kind of a taste that takes awhile to enjoy fruit wise so it only makes sense some people might not like it....for me it tastes like a ripe ol'gauva...smoked a round of Gauva NK Mizo last night with some Mizo Cherry...which was good (for a cherry flavour) Need to gets me some watermelon it sounds like.

Jeff_T Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Glad to hear it man, congrats. The mizo guava is a different taste if you're not expecting it, but I thought it was quite good. I have yet to try the mizo watermelon, but it'll be in the next order. Glad you got tangiers smoking well your first time. Now you have a lot more options to choose from when buying more shisha.

SultanofSmoke Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 What do people think is better NK Mizo Gauva or AF Gauva? (Side question). Being from Canada tangiers is hard to come by...someone from Canada PM me if they have any local hook-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilded777 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 yummmm.... Static Starlight. Gotta get me some of these new Mizo. I have been smoking nothing but Tangiers for months (not a bad thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Congrats. I do think Nakhla Mizo Guava has been hyped up a lot, but on the flip side. It is neck and neck with Tangiers as being the best guava in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well if you love guava, then I personally don't think it was too hyped up. If you aren't crazy about guava you will prob say it was too hyped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SultanofSmoke Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Looks like the only thing that will satisfy me now will be a good ol' fashioned smoke off. NK Gauva is great through...it'll be a tough fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
