  Hey guy whats you honest opinion on Fumari tobacco?  I've been kinda interested in trying it, I just dont know if I want to pay the premium price tag.  I generally only smoke Tangiers and occasionally Nahkla, and I live near SD so I get my Tangiers at lounge prices...

 

I guess it is just hard for me to pay $10 for 100 grams when I can get 250g for a buck more.

I just tried Fumari last night for the first time. Blueberry muffin. I couldn't get it to cloudage right, but the flavor was pretty good. I'll play around with it again soon and see if I can't figure out what I was doing wrong.

 

You know it's bad if you can pack Tangiers just fine, but other brands give you trouble... :O

 

But yes, price point wise, Tangiers wins hands-down.

A while ago I went on a big Fumari kick, trying all kinds of flavors and, honestly, none of them will blow your mind. The majority of them have a sort of chemical taste to them (even with acclimation). I would sort of compare it to some of the worse flavors of AF (not in terms of flavor or anything, just that sort of chemical undertone). That being said, try Blackberry and Blueberry Muffin. They are the only two that I would even consider buying again. I would MAYBE give Island Papaya a shot again, but, even that wasn't really fantastic.

 

Smoke it out of a traditional clay bowl, it doesn't work as good in phunnels as it does in a traditional egyptian/turkish bowl. It will be messy, and you will have to clean the pipe good after each bowl due to the juicy nature of Fumari, but, you will get MUCH better flavor and clouds. 

 

For the price of admission, it is simply not worth it. Glad I tried it, but it will never be a staple in my stash.

I really like the limited Fumari I have tried. Island Papaya is the only one I get consistently.

 

If you pack it like Romman or AF clouds and flavor are fantastic. They don't make each flavor the same way. So one tastes chemically, the next might not. Blueberry Muffin makes me sick, because it replaced their straight blueberry....only thing that rivaled Tangiers Blueberry... just can't smoke it, I am tainted from it's loss.

 

Over all it's decent, overpriced, but decent.

 

YumBerry is a straight rip off of SB Pomberry, just as good but flavor is a dead on match.

I've had it a couple times.  I didnt enjoy spiced chia but the people i smoked with didnt know how to pack a bowl or anything about heat management so it was harsh.  The one's i tried were very good but i cant remember which ones they were right off the top of my head

   Bahahaha you just get used to packing tangiers and nothing is the same.  My buddy was packing fantasia (it was all he had) like he packs tangiers and it was just plain bad news.

 

Also thank you all for your opinions.  It sounds like most of you agree that it is worth at least trying even with the premium.  I will have to give it a shot.

Mint chocolate chill was heaven. Ambrosia was great. Fumari is a great tobacco IMO. White gummy bear ... Omg . They really have unique flavors. They just need to loosen up on price.

Oh and one more thing. Smoke what you like and what you can afford. I know here we all praise tangiers and forget the others tobaccos. I'm still very much a Nak AF Romman kind of guy. Don't close your taste buds off to others just because the package isn't a tangiers package.

Mimosa is my favorite fumari flavor, white gummi bear was really good as well. Haven't tried any others that I would make any special note of but I've only had about 10 of their flavors.

Fumari is one of the brands I keep on hand regularly.  Tangiers, Nakhla and Fumari.

 

I kinda gave up on everything else.  Fumari is pricey, but I think it's hands down better than the other expensive brands e.g. Romman, Starbuzz, etc.

ust pack it like starbuzz or AF same thing works just as good. Problem is, I haven't packed SB or AF in a long, long time. :/


I can hop on TC tonight if you want to watch the way I pack my phunnel. Oh, the innuendo is killing me.
