skiracerj1 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 So just got my hookah company shipment in consisting of lemon blossom, red tea, mixed fruit summer solstice, and green apple, along with some free AA banana split, here are their review:Al Amir Banana SplitCut: Finely chopped, very gitty feeling, almost like pumice hand cleanerAppearence: Artificial RedSmell: not very banana split like, but pleasant nontheless, almost floral but not really.Taste: despite the smell this tastes like a banana split, well kindof, more like banana split dip and dots ice cream, which is better in my opinion. Also for Al Amir it had a pretty strong flavor.Smoke: Super thick, billowy white cloads, no complaint on this aspect of itBuzz: ok so maybe this is the 6 hours sleep total for the last 4 days talkin, but i actuall got a mild buzz of this stuff, which i usually dont from AAOverall: Very nice smoke, maybe not top shelf quality but a good enjoyable smoke 8/10Tangiers Green Apple:Cut: HUGE!!! Found some whole leaves in there, which you can tear up your self, kinda like bounty select a size, only for tobaccoColor: Black as the nightSmell: Oh my god what a smell, smells exactly like an aple jolly rancher, my room smeeled like i was on the floor of the jolly rancher factory.Taste: Just like it smells a really loud sweet and tart flavor, maybe not a green apple, but who cares, this stuff is good!Smoke: Again thick as ever, if managed correctlyBuzz: Nurse please!Overall: very very nice, a favorite for sure, but not quite all time great caliber stuff 9/10Tangiers Lemon BlossomCut:see aboveColor:see aboveSmell: kinda like a lemon spritzed rose flower, very floral, but with a slightly lemon ctrus undertoneTaste: Wow, just wow, a very complex flavor, to many things to describe, but to simplify its like putting a drop of lemon jouice on your tounge while walking into your local florist, a flavor I dont think i'll get bored with easily, as i often doSmoke: thick, again, but tread carefully grasshoperBuzz: Tangiers should add a warning onto his label that says if u disrespect the hookah, the hookah will kick you in the junkOverall: One of my best smokes of late, this one is up there for sure, have to give it a 10 just because of its everyday smokeability, but only if you dig floral flavors, if you hate rose, this one wont win you over trememndously either I'm afraid.The other two will be reviewed as i smoke them.

skiracerj1 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Ok, now on to the red tea and summer solsticeTangiers Red TeaCut: again large piecesColor: Again, blackSmell: Kindof an odd smell, definately doesn't leap out smack you in the face as being tea, but nontheless it does intrigue you to smoke it.Taste: Quite nice, maybe not a dead on tea but a very mellow, warm flavor. When inhaling I do get that sensaton of drinking tea. Maybe not the biggest wow factor flavor but instead a really nice sophisticated flavor.Smoke: see other tangiers reviewBuzz: for Tangiers actually kindof a mellow-ish buzz, still definately there, but doesn't quite knock you off your feet like the others doOverall: A good flavor that lies somewhere inbetween the sweet flavors and the florals, if your bored with fruit flavors but have an odd lingering after taste when smoking florals then red tea might be the tobacco for you. 9.5/10Tangiers Mixed Fruit #2: Summer Solstice CelebrationI'm just gonna do smell and flavor since we already know what tangiers is capable ofSmell: Tangiers says this flavor is a mix of watermelon guava, and you can smell it, a very nice mix. I own both of those flavors and tried mixing up my own batch of summer solstice and it came close.Taste: Really good flavorful smoke that is kindof indescribable in terms of flavor. However when i smoked my mixed bowl for comparrison I got essentially the same resultOverall: A really nice flavor, but its really just two of his other flavors mixed together, so you have two options here, either get 2 flavors for the proce of one, or three flavors for the price of two by just buying watermelon and guava, either way its delicious. 8.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzzzT Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 This has been one of my long standing smokes. So I will bite and do a review of it.Review Tangiers Cocoa:Cut: Large pieces.Color: Evil looking black goodnessSmell: NICE Cocoa smell!Taste: Nice assertive Cocoa flavor that is smooth. I have smoked some cocoa pipe tobacco. This seems similar but is much better. This is a really well done flavor. Smoke: Good amount of smoke. I would not say this tobacco is a smoke bomb, but puts out a really nice smoke. I don't know why but Tangiers smoke works the best for smoke tricks, it has nice dense smoke.Buzz: Tangiers is real tobacco, It is not flavored air. Smokers who are looking for a "smoke" will like this. Since I am a long time cigar smoker I don't really get a buzz like my friends do. Tangiers should give you a good buzz if you don't smoke stronger tobacco.Overall: This is definitely some great smoke with good flavor and substance.Someone new to Tangiers might have to work on getting your bowl and heat right. This is one of my regular favorites. Great Stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzzzT Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hey Eric!All is going well. Smoking lots of Tangiers, my favorite right now is cocoa and blueberry. I still have quite a few flavors to try. I really have to order some kashmir peach soon, it sounds really great. I enjoy mixing kashmir apple with other flavors to get a hint of the kashmir in there.Have you thought about making a classic double apple flavor or a red apple/licorice mix? I know many people do not like double apple, but I really enjoy it. Maybe it is because I started smoking double apple naklah and feel sentimental about it.

cymptom Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Yeah... I wanna get some F-Line Kashmir to mix with other flavors. Should be a nice way to add that awesome Kashmir flavor and caffeine buzz. I hope it mixes well with other brands... some kashmir-caffeine Al Fakher smoke would be heavenly.

It's really quite a good combo. I have a feeling I'm going to need some more tangiers soon, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Tea is a great smoke when wanting to get away from the fruityness. Actually just finished a bowl of red tea about an hour ago, while drinking some tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
