xpimpitox Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hey guys I got my tangiers in yesterday and i smoked 2 outta the 3 flavors i purchased so I thought id throw in a lil review for you all 2 enjoy. I let the shisha acclimate(sp?) for about 4 hours before smoking. Without further ado...Shisha Brand: Tangiers Passion FruitSmell/Flavor: Smelled kinda funky when I first opened to the package but you could tell it was a mixed fruit type of shisha. My cousin said it smelled like vapor rub lol. Flavor was full. It had a sweet taste to it very strong but not as good as Fumari's Passion Fruit but more flavorful.Cut: Very fluffy like the packaging said. bigger cuts of leaves made it a little tricker 2 pack a good bowl as im used sprinkling it in. no stems so far which is excellent. Smoke: I got thick smoke in about 3 hits. this stuff took me by surprise as to how strong it was so i had some time adjusting i was coughing like a newbie lol. but very thick and smoothed out after about 20 minutes. Buzz: got a very nice buzz much like when i first started smoking but not nearly as high maybe if i took stronger hits i wanted to take it easy since me and my friends were coughing on medium hits. next time ima go balls out lol.Amount(approx)/Duration: i think this one lasted about an 40 mins we stopped cuz my friend had go pick up his car but im sure it woulda lasted longer.Hookah Type: i have a hookah that needs to be identified lol ill post a pick up for you guys to help me with. if im correct its bohemian stem style with an egpytian style base but very pretty me likes. hits like a champ too!Bowl: standard egyptian bowl (i think anyways)Foil/Screen: Foil with my cousin poking the holes...i suck at poking holes but im gettin betterCoal/Amount: used 2 canary japanese style coals to start out and added another before we had 2 go pick up the car.Liquid in Base: water with a shitload of ice but enough to clog up and be harder to hit.Overall satisfaction (scale 1 to 10): 8/10. the flavor was good but i prefer fumari's passion fruit. the clouds of smoke were nice and thick i could only imagine them indoors. overall great though.and now the next...Shisha Brand: Tangiers Kashmir PeachSmell/Flavor: smelled better than than the passion fruit you could def smell the peach with a different kinda smell i cant put a name for. Flavor was very full like passion fruit. you could def taste the peachyness and that Kashmirness(i dunno lol) was there made it taste different but overall enjoyable.Cut: same as passion fruit.Smoke: nice and thick but not as thick as passion fruit...it was kinda a rushed bowl cuz we were gonna go out and just wanted a quick little session before we headed out. but satisfying enough.Buzz: didnt get a buzz at all but my friend sure did lol.Amount(approx)/Duration: we smoked for about 25 minutes or so because we had to get going. woulda def last longer if i sparked up another coal. flavor was full throughout.Hookah Type: again ill post a pic lol.Bowl: not sure what type but its shorter and has a wide opening 2 pack more shisha...i sometimes need 2 put 3 coals depending on what im smoking.Foil/Screen: same as passion fruitCoal/Amount: just 2 canary coals. got them nice and red which gave me sum thick smoke quick.Liquid in Base: same as aboveOverall satisfaction (scale 1 to 10): 8/10 the flavor was spot on but i wanted thicker coulds of smoke. next time im not gonna rush the session so i can fully enjoy it. left a major aftertaste in my mouth which i would rather not have otherwise woulda been a 9!EDITShisha Brand: Tangiers WatermelonSmell/Flavor: Smelled like watermelon with a different other smell. Flavor was def watermelon with a lil soapy like taste to it at first but it went away and the flavor was spot on it was gewwwd!Cut: same as aboveSmoke: I'm still adjusting my heat management with these but the smoke got pretty thick. not cover your face thick like i got al amir but pretty thick i think once i get the heat control down ill be happy with the smoke.Buzz: wholly shit did i get a buzz. it was a perfect level not incredibly strong where it wasnt enjoyable but it was good!Amount(approx)/Duration: a little over an hour we had al amir apple to try and it was getting late so we switched it up. judging from the wetness of the shisha when i cleaned the bowl out it coulda gone for probably another 20 mins or so.Hookah Type: my friends 26inch egyptian hookahBowl: standard egpytian bowlFoil/Screen: foil with good holes poked (i didnt poke em lol)Coal/Amount: we used lazzari mesquite natural coals. they arent uniform so its abit harder to control the heat but worked out well in the end Liquid in Base: water with tons of ice cubesOverall satisfaction (scale 1 to 10): ima go ahead and give it a perfect 10. watermelon has been a fave since i first smoked al amir's although the thickness of the smoke wasnt at the level i know i could get it at im not gonna ding cuz once i get my heat management down with tangiers ill have to rerate it. hooray for watermelon!!!!END EDITthanks 2 whoever made this template (jueto i think?) and Tangiers for makin sum good stuff! cant wait 2 review the watermelon perhaps 2nite!!

skiracerj1 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Try letting it acclimate more, the smoke and flavor will get even better. Also try packing the bowl as full as you can get it. For the record I find the tangiers passionfruit a more enjoyable flavor, its got that unique tartness to it that fumari lacks. So to each his own right....

xpimpitox Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 skiracer...should i let it acclimate everytime before i smoke? perhaps i could pack the bowls ahead of time since i got 2 heads say like before i go to work and it will be nice and ready when i get home and settle down 2 smoke.

Sonthert Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I don't, its most important to acclimate once you get it, well. Of course results will improve drastically if you do acclimate. I'll bet you a quarter as you get better at smoking the stuff, your rating will go up. Edit: thanks for the reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookahnoob Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I also got my trade of Tangiers in the mail yesterday. Blue Gumball and Raspberry. Both smell great. I am waiting to smoke them for a while because I think I was starting to get too used to the hookah and the flavors weren't as strong anymore. I work nights at a hospital so sometimes when I get home at 7:30 am I will open my container of Tangiers and let it acclimate while I am sleeping and then wake up and have a nice bowl.

aronparsons Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 The watermelon is pretty good. It has a smell almost like Jolly Rancher and the flavor is great. It's the best watermelon I've tried thus far, beating out Al Amir and Starbuzz by far. Starbuzz was good but didn't remind me too much of watermelon as Tangiers does.
