mattarios2 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 So, as most know desi murli and some afzal flavors ghost like a bitch. I was aware of that when I bought some to try. I kept them in zip lock baggies as they were just samples to try so why use a tupperware and ghost the shit out of them. Anyways, after about a week or so of having them in my large tote where I keep all of my tobacco, mizo raspberry and mizo guava both have ZERO flavor. I repacked em, acclimated them, they don't even smell that good. The entire inside of the tote now smells like an Indian market from the Desi and Afzal. I know this maybe crazy but could the insane aromas of those tobaccos ruin the tobaccos I have opened but in tupperwares if everything was in the tote together? I know with Tangiers, Eric says to keep funky smells, or strong pungent smells away from the tobacco so that is what made me think this at least COULD be a possibility. Both guava and raspberry taste like absolutely nothing, puffy white clouds that taste like nothing ... :-( Thoughts HF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 When I said it ghosts like mad I meant your hose and pipe, never experienced it going from ziplock to other containers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 I know what you meant when you said it Hass, I think my thoughts are a bit insane, but I have NEVER in all my years of smoking Nakhla HAD to acclimate a flavor. Sure I acclimate some to remove some floralness in certain flavors, or sweetness, or whatever, but never HAD TO acclimate it in order to get good flavor. So I am like WTF Yo?!

mushrat Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Ive acclimated Nak. But ya, I don't think there is a connection between your DM and the Mizo. sounds more like a climate type issue. How does the DM smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 What is funny is the DM is kinda lacking taste too. I kinda felt like it was prob acclimation issues just crazy that it has NO flavor. I know stuff like this happens with Tang, just never experienced it with Nakhla before. We HAVE had the craziest weather the last 3-4 days, supposed to be done with tue morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 that's weird your DM is lacking flavor, because my afazal has been lacking flavor only 4 of the 7 have any taste, its the strong ones like ginger ale and pan rass? i think and cinnamon are super strong but silver fox smells good but fails in taste. and same with cardamon smells good fails in taste. i keep everything in tupperware besides 50gm because its only 2 bowls worth of tobacco if that. but i've never acclimated any tobacco, so not sure how to help besides maybe just try to separate them and see if it helps.

mattarios2 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 The DM was really good the first couple bowls, then both kewra and khus just tasted like incense burning the second time around. I will give them another go soon. But yeah I separated them and after acclimating the guava for about 3 hours it smells perfect again. Raspberry is being a bitch though. Slowly smelling better but have already done like 6-7 hours of acclimation total. Never EVER had this issue with nak before. But I was thinking the night this all started to become an issue or dehumidifier was on in the basement and the windows were open in the basement, so the windows were bringing in really humid air and the dehumidifier was spiting out really dry air. The only 2 flavors I smoked that night were guava and raspberry so I think the mix of different airs may have caused the issue. I smoked nak coconut and nak peach tonight, both og (both were in tupperwares and were never opened the night the windows and dehumidifier were running) and they smoked perfectly tonight so that prob is what caused the issue.
