Hassouni Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Despite doing this for over 5 years, I think last night was my most perfect smoke at home ever. Using my new Leb argileh, one of those small Leb bowls I don't often use, and my new stash of mu'assal from Beirut, and my new Cocobrico coals.... I guess there's always a learning curve when using a new type of coal and a new type of tobacco in a different type of bowl....and last night I mastered it. Packed a 60/40 mix of Mizo guava (not too familiar with Mizo) and AF mint into the small Leb bowl, a very conservative hole pattern, and only two cocobricos.....BIG clouds, NO harshness for well over 90 minutes. My new argileh doesn't have a purge, and last night, the 4th time using it, I didn't need it AT ALL. Amazing. Threw on a ghetto al foil windcover towards the end and got even more life out of it past the hour mark. I can't remember the last time it didn't even get a little hot or require a gentle exhale while also ripping like a beast. I also can't remember when a non-Tangiers or Nakhla OG bowl went 90 mins without tasting awful. Let's hope I can do it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainUM Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 i love when i get that "perfect session." when i pack a bowl and it manages to go strong for a couple hours somehow when normally it goes for about half that. i never am sure what exactly i do different to make it last longer, but i wish i did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srawas89 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I am so glad to hear you got such an amazing session with you argileh from Libnan. I cant wait to go there for Christmas and New years, I am definitely going to pick up at least one argileh. Anyway, where did you get the Nakhla Mizo and did you get it cheap?

Hassouni Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Got the Mizo at Beirut airport for $3 a pack! The airport has a BIG selection of Al Ajamy and Havana, and a smaller selection of Mizo and regular Nakhla. Most argileh stores in Lebanon have it pretty cheap too, maybe $4 or $5 Keep us updated on your trip when you go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I used to get perfect sessions time after time when I owned my first KM OG Trimetal. Before that and after that, not every session has been great... That was also during the time I always cut my CCNs, used a small phunnel with four halves. I also always made sure not to let the shisha touch the foil. Now I don't give a fuck. Shisha touches, I use a mini phunnel, and I use two whole coals. My session may be GREAT, or may end up just being okay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
