SanguineSolitude Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 ive got a better idea. why dont you come up with your tobacco recipes and then work out the rest. youre going about this in the wrong direction. have you even made your own shisha yet? is it better than others youve tried. these are things to think about. i doubt tangiers was like hmm id really like to make tobacco for a living, my company will be named tangiers ill set everything up... oh and then ill figure out if i can make good shisha.

Scalliwag Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 well, I guess "Arabian Nights" is out if you want non-arabic. So a good ol' boy name would be "Smokey Joe's Super Smokin' Shisha" A metro name would be "Hazy Daze" or "Shooter's" Of course if you use Aardvark's any place that list their brands alphabetically will have you on top. Let me drink beer and I will get better ideas.... or they seem better to me at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalliwag Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 How about Shinerbock?!?!?! No wait, that's what I am drinking No wonder that sounded like a great idea. "Filthy McNasty's", now that is a name that will get some looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Shah Abbas refers to the Persian king during the Sassanian dynasty. I won't bore you with the details but apparently the man loved his nargile.

Yonatan Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 **UPDATE** I have failed miserably. There was no smoke, and the taste reminded me of stale cat droppings. I'll keep working on it If tangiers sees this i hope he'll be able to help me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 oh sorry i didnt look at your recipe but you obviously need glycerine in their. thats what makes shisha smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonatan Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 goddammit. you could've told me before i wasted like 5 hours trying to make homemade tobbaco. ok so: 1 - Drum Tobbacco (Mild) 2 - Some sort of fruit concentrate. 3 - A bit of molasses. 4 - Some sort of edible glycerin (vegetable or something) ok i'll try that in a few days and give you updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineSolitude Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 the drum tobacco (rolling tobacco no?) should work fine. and yes make sure you get edible glycerine. I guess i assumed you knew glycerine was neccessary for shisha. (im not saying it will taste any better since im pretty sure all shishas use concentrated flavorings and not just fresh fruit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
