Chreees Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well then at least send it to me to refresh the edge on and shave with once. I am now a professional honemeister since I have done it on two razors. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 you don't know how they turned out Not yet, but I soon will. Gonna shave tomorrow. In all seriousness, if they turn out good I'd be willing to do yours free. It's actually so easy I highly recommend picking up one yourself from Larry and then you never have to worry about it again.

thehelios Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well I add one 2 oz bottle of glycerin to an entire 250g of khan, then I break it up with 2 forks and then I usually mix 30% or so into whatever flavor I am going to smoke prior to packing the bowl. I have absolutely no idea wth this accomplishes and sounds interesting. Make us a tutorial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Lol, Helios, it is easy. Khan and other black tobaccos by nakhla are really dry. You don't have to but to increase the duration you can add glycerin to it. Stir a bottle into 250g, the stuff at michaels is 2 oz which is more than enough for a 250g, and then add 30% of the khan mixture to any flavor you want, adds a wonderful tobacco flavor to any flavor.

Hassouni Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Adding glycerine also means you can smoke them with foil and 3 coals, instead of needing to go without foil (or with foil but 6 coals) - this stuff will not smoke at all straight out of the box if done as you would regular nakhla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 thanks Chreees, I must say though, since I got the turk bowl hitting well ... I haven't looked back, my phunnels get 0 use now but I do mostly smoke Nakhla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah, the Turk bowls do work very well with Nakhla. Almost seems made for it. But there's still something about the Phunnel that I just love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 To each their own. I get about 55 minutes from a turk with 3 coconut coals, When I used my smedium it held nearly 40g used 4 coals and lasted like 1 hour and 10 min. So I conserve like 16-20g of tobacco and 1 coal while only losing roughly 10 min of smoke time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 When smoking Nakhla, I typically go 2-3 hours using my Tangiers Mini Phunnels (which hold around 25g) with two coconut coals (Razans or Coconaras). Works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Lol what do you puff the thing once every 10 minutes? And one round of 2 coals lasts 2-3 hours? I do only smoke with like 3-5 people so every person chiefs it, could play a factor but I still can't see a 25g bowl of nakhla last 2-3 hours unless you really relax on it. Despite smoking time, the flavor does not compare, tastes much better in a traditional bowl like an Egyptian or Turkish bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I only tried Tropicana once...and if I remember correctly, I thought it smelled and (I assume) tasted like marijuana. I was not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I know what you are talking about jay, acclimate it and make sure not to let it get to hot and that flavor is not present. First few times I had it I tasted exactly what you described, but with a little acclimation and not too much heat that flavor is not there. Also I tried twoapples technique of 3 coals in a pyramid then drop the coal on top when the coals die down and with 4 people chiefing on the hookah constantly I got an hour and thirty minutes, pretty darn good.
