MrMoodz Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Monday, October 16th rolls around and here comes Eric and his employee John coming to Phoenix. I called up one of my hookah smoking buddies over to check out the shisha and make some purchases. Eric and Jon made it to my apartment in Phoenix around 9pm. It was a hell of a time! Eric had a wide variety and huge amount of the Tangiers. He brought in a few hookahs to smoke out of. We smoked Watermelon in one, Vanilla in another, then Nakhla Mandarin out of my rotater hookah with my Abu Hathem Japanese Coals. The shisha didn't have a chance to acclimate long enough on the way from San Diego to Phoenix, so it was a touch harsh. The flavors were rediculously good though. We all hung out, smoked, and discussed the hookah and life until 2am, then went outside to his truck and made some purchases. 250g of Tangiers for $10.00, all bowls (including the last funnel bowl he had at the time) were $5.00 a piece. So I picked up 250g of Kashmir Peach, 250g of Summer Solstice Celebration, 250g of Green Apple, and a medium sized funnel bowl. Eric also threw in some 100g samples of Kashmir Peach, Blueberry, Licorice, and Melon Blend. My buddy Nick bought a Tangiers Bowl, and 250g of F-Line Apple. He was given samples of Blueberry and Vanilla. All in all, the night was a lot of fun. I let the Tangiers acclimate over night so now i'm looking forward to coming home (I'm still at work) and lighting up Kashmir Peach. Thanks again Eric (and John) for coming out to Phoenix. It was a good time and I'll check out your lounge and store next time I'm in San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xblakex Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Shouldve read that reward for a picture comment before he just left my house... But ya. Good times. Eric is a great guy. Packed three different bowls in three different hookahs. Mint. Kashmir Peach. Watermellon. I have never been able to get tangiers to smoke well, so I was glad to have him come over and show me how it's done. With him packing the bowls, I had some of the best smoke quality and flavors I have ever gotten out of shisha in my life. And he was nice enough to leave behind his oyster fork so I could mix the shisha and pack my bowls the same way he does. And he showed me the glory of the special features section of 40 year old virgin! Like I said, good times.

NorthEastSmoker Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 [quote name='xblakex'].

Both you and Erica have done that now.. said how glad you were that Eric showed you how to pack the bowl correctly, but then not explained what you were doing wrong, or the best way to do it.. :twisted: That's like saying "I found out where to buy gas in town for $1/gallon, I don't know how I missed that station in the past!" and then not saying where.

[/quote] Haha. nice analogy. Things I gathered from watching are this. Stir up the portion of the tobacco that you will use a lot before you pack the bowl, to get it nice and moist. Pack dense. I knew this before, but I would say that I would pack my bowls 15% more dense than usual, and he packs it about 50% more dense than I usually do. After he packed it and put the foil on, he would flip the bowl over and bolw through it, to make sure the airflow was good and to get the shisha to fluff out a little bit. As far as coals, he was using japanese squares, and used 4 to start off one of his large bowls, and added another coal every 10-15 minutes. Basically, I gathered this. If your tangiers is smoking fairly weak and harsh, pack more shisha. Sounds like a hard thing to do because you think, "oh well then it will just burn more and get more harsh", but the exact opposite will happen actually. More shisha in the bowl means more shisha to distribute the heat from the coals to, means less of the top burning, means more of a thick and strong smoke. And were talking strong and think by the way. Couldn't see a damn thing for 5 seconds after I would exhale from all of the smoke. And it was really smooth with no harshness! But I digress. If your tangiers is smoking strong, but is just too harsh, try stirring it up a good amount before you pack you bowl. That should help that out. This would also help out the previous case too. Finally I'll say that Eric pokes a lot of holes for good airflow. Whether that helps out significantly or not, I cannot tell you, but the man pokes many decent sized holes with an oyster fork all throughout the foil. Even with one of his phunnel bowls. So ya, the gas station is on First and Euclid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumare Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I also have been poking many holes in my funnel. I have had 2 customers that love it alot, so I ordered 3 more. We also blow in from the bottom of the bowl to creat airgaps between the tobacco. Another thing that might work if your funnel is not tight enough on your grommet, is to wrap a thin piece of papertowl around that grommet and then set the bowl on top of that. I also stretch the foil as much as I can after making the wholes so not too much of the foil is actually touching the tobacco. I am looking forward for those med. sized bowls.
