squidget Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Me and a friend are making a trip to SD over Presidents Day weekend specifically to visit Oddessey (we are flying in). This is why you do not make rash decisions folks Besides get our Tangiers love on, what else should we do in SD? Also, what are folks top 3 flavors, so I know which ones to try.

Genie Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Kashmir! Anything Kashmir, really. Kashmir Cherry is delectable. Indian Summer is .... complex and confusing. I keep smoking it even though I don't know if I like it or not. A third, hmmm, too many choices. Static Starlight is amazing. Yellow Apple, I haven't tried it yet but if I were there, it's what I'd want to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmccoy90 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Tell my ex-girlfriend to screw off. Also the zoo is pretty badass. Enjoy the warm weather. What I'd do for some sun right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 She and I both are in Texas, it's not precisely warm here, but it's not bitter cold either. Anything north will be colder than where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 kcherry, kpeach, peach iced tea. cant go wrong with those flavors. orange soda is delicious, too, as is horchata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Indian Summer, Kashmir Peach, and Mint.....those are my top three. However, I'd replace Mint with It's Like That one Breakfast Cereal so you can kind get a feel for the breadth of flavors (floral-ish, spiced, fruit) As far as what else to do? Hmmm....San Diego Zoo (world famous for a reason), Sea World, In 'n' Out Burger, Phil's BBQ, Embarcadero/Seaport Village, Old Town, if you have a passports then you can swing by Tiajuana, stop by Disneyland or Magic Mountain, Universal Studios, Balboa Park, hit a few malls for some people watching (Fashion Valley and Mission Valley), check out La Jolla and it's beaches...if you're old enough, check out the Gaslamp Quarter's nightlife and stop by Fumari's too! Oh, and go a Vietnamese place and get some real pho. There's also a lounge called Istanbul (i forgot where, i was kinda drunk when i was there)...but, they have nice turkish hoses there. Hmmm, there's more stuff to do...but, that should get you through a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbles Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Sushi in SD is fantastic. I always stop at Lestat's coffee house for some caffine as I head home. Keep in mind, Eric has some lounge only flavors! Dont just smoke something you can order, try something that isnt out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I haven't smoked enough tangiers to tll you that but I did live in SD. But Arcane had some great ones Phil's is a great BBQ place My favorite one in SD haha. If you are a nature fan you should take a hike through the Torrey Pines reserve. Definately gonna be cold there (been talking to my friends who still live there and they are telling me this) But the beaches are still great to visit. Seaport Village adn Old town are also some good places to go but im much more of a fan of the Balboa Park area. Very artsy and nice lots of museums too plus its right by the zoo. Also if your over 21 and want somethnig to do at night head on over to the Gaslamp District lots of nice bars and resturaunts. (dick's last resort is supposed to be pretty.....interesting hahahah) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidget Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks guys so far. This is helpful. We are both over 21 so that's not an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Get breakfast at The Mission. Hike down to Blacks beach. Visit the La Jolla Caves and check out the sea lions. Eat lots of mexican food. KCherry, Peach Iced Tea, Pineapple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santino Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Go by Petco Park, stand outside and laugh at the Padres playoff hopes. Then go smoke some tangiers and bask in the beautiful weather while I sit here and freeze my ass off in 7 degree weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Static Starlight, Indian Summer, and.... hmm... Peach Iced Tea or Mint. But if there's a lounge-only flavor, you should go for it. K-Guava I hear is really nice. He's got others as well. You can always just order Static Starlight, Indian Summer, Peach Iced Tea, and Mint... So definitely go for the lounge-exclusive flavors. Also, if you're planning on taking tobacco home with you (I definitely would to take advantage of the lounge prices), call Eric ahead of time and tell him what you'd like. You need to give him time to prepare your order. Have fun, be safe, and smoke some Tangy for me in that kick-ass weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidget Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 lounge exclusive flavors... awesome. I'm getting really excited for this trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUBBS Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 RATM is right, Eric has a few lounge only secrets, so ask him and he'll hook you up. Def 3 flavor you should smoke are ones no one can buy online. I think he has a cherry lime-ade or something like that. I'm drivin down to San D on Jan 18 to go to The HC warehouse in Encinitas and then to Odessey lounge. You should try to go to HC too, it's not far from San D.

Regal Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hey, I'm from San Diego. Apart from all the tourist attractions (Zoo, Sea World, and, of course, the beaches) there are a lot of local fun places to go. The standard strips of dive bars in Pacific Beach and Ocean Beach are always fun, and you can definitely stop by some real Mexican places. Depending on whether what part of San Diego you are there are better places. My favorite place is Rudy's Taco Shop. It's unbelievable! Carne Asada anything is to die for. [url="http://www.rudystacoshop.com/"]http://www.rudystacoshop.com/[/url] You know a legitimate ethnic place when you're the only person who doesn't speak the respective language. When it comes to tangier's tobacco flavors my favorites are Kashmir Cherry, It's Like That One Breakfast Cereal, Melon Blend, Lime, and Cocoa. They're great and all are unique. In northern San Diego there's George's Hookah Company. www.hookahcompany.com. He's an awesome guy who definitely appreciates a dedicated smoker. His place is full of great hookahs and what's unusual is that he is very honest about his products. He will tell you what smokes well and doesn't. It's a relief. Anyway, have a great trip in San Diego. I miss it. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUBBS Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The Gas Lamp district is a great place to wonder!! The Aquarium of the Pacific. Like Jon said, the beaches and piers. Rent a Seg-way. Tour the Queen Mary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
