Types Of Tobacco

[sbraid]

hey guys,

i just have a few questions on my mind. first, whats the difference between washed and unwashed tobacco? second, how strong is the regular tangiers line compared to their "lucid" line? ive been smoking brands like: Al Fakher, Romman, SB, Social Smoke, but i really want to try the more "original" kind of tobacco.

any and all insight is welcome please.

Washed and unwashed is a difference in nicotine levels. Washed means the tobacco has been washed and loses nicotine and therefore a smaller buzz than unwashed. The noir Tangiers Line will pack a buzz if you are used to washed brands like SB and AF. I've heard Social Smoke in unwashed but haven't tried it.

AF/SB: washed
Romman: unwashed

if both Romman and Tangiers are unwashed, what makes Tangiers so special?

If we could figure that out we'd be rich.

To the OP, just because some shishas claim a .5% level of nicotine doesn't mean it'll act or feel like the others. Tangiers has fantastic flavors and I get the biggest clouds with it. I also get the biggest buzz. I've smoked a few other shishas like Nak but havent felt a buzz like Tang. Try it out thats the only way you can truly know the powers of OG Tang.

Another good thing about tangiers is the low water content. You are actually getting more tobacco per 250 then you do from other brands. Also because of the low water content it lasts a lot longer.

Cons...there is a learning curve to loading noir tangiers
