dizzbizz Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 So, I'm going to place an order with Southsmoke soon and I was thinking about ordering their [url="http://www.southsmoke.com/pd-isfahani-premium-tombac-250g.cfm"]tombac[/url]. Anybody have experience with this stuff? I know theres an old [url="http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/35658-super-old-school-tobaccos/"]thread[/url] on it with a video, but I just wanted to see what our forum knows about smoking it and packing it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hey, that's my thread! So that stuff there is the oldest-school of them all, referred to as 'Ajami in the Arab world. You're supposed to make that cigar thing out of it, I GUESS you can shred it and put it in a normal bowl but that's not how it's meant to be done. It gives an epic ass-kicking apparently (not smoked it myself) - like think several cigars in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 What exactly is the question? Thats one way to pack it, in my video, and its like inhaling a cheap cigar when you smoke it. I can make it, but i sure as HELL won't smoke it. And for the record thats the brand i used at the lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 78 cents each if I am not mistaken. I wonder how much shipping would be for 10 or so. Probably not worth the hassle though, huh? Haha.

Hassouni Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 well shipping to the us i believe is $30 or so for the first kilo and about $6 per kilo after that. if you order 10 that still comes out to pretty cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'm not a fan of Tombac. Not only is a hassle to prepare, it tastes terrible and requires a lot of heat to get going. Of course, I've never liked cigars or cigarettes either which explains my distaste for plain-tobacco products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I've always wanted to try. Zaghoul wasn't too bad, and I really want to experience every corner of the hookah world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] In some ways I found it smoother than Zag. BUt it wasnt something i smoked regularly. Think about it, you are WASHING the tobacco when you soak the leaves. You are possibly, and i am just kinda thinking out loud here, that you are actually making a washed tobacco. The fact you burn it with direct heat of course would likely negate a lot of that but I should ask Eric what he thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
