Wandering Jew Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I generally keep mine in the things that they came in, like al faukers little plastic bucket but also still in the pouch in that bucket. My Starbuzz is still in the metal tins in a plastic bag. How long will they stay good. Sorry about the confusing wording Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 A long ass time...... I smoked a bowl of da yesterday that expired in 07, and it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
false alarm Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I dont think there is a exact time for it... I might be wrong but it depends of the "weather" conditions.. of course a year shelf life the tobacco will get dry.. but I think 1 - 2 months it'll be alright... sorry if there are mistakes in the language..

If a head only lasts 20 min for you then you need to re-evaluate the way you smoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 the amount of time it takes you to smoke it it can vary depending on storage techniques. cool dry place in air tight containers can get you up to a year or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've smoked some AF Grape that expired in 07 a few months ago, and it smoked and tasted fine! With most tobaccos I can get easily a 2 hour session, Tangiers can last anywhere from 2-10+ depending on the bowl. For the OP: If the shisha is still sealed, I'd say around 2 years for shelf life. Might vary with different flavors and brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU Smoker Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 was just looking at the 250s of AF I have. One was produced March 2008 and exp March 2010 and the other Feb 2010 and exp Feb 2012. The difference between the two as far as juiciness: Nothing. As long as you keep your shisha in airtight containers they should store well over 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
