JesusDoesVegas Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 ok... Whats the deal with this? I have no trouble with any other flavor (tangiers or not) but for some reason I cannot seem to get the blueberry to smoke properly. It always seems to be very very harsh and unpleasant to smoke. I do the same ol' setup every time I smoke (standard funnel bowl hole pattern with 2 threekings quicklites) but it doesn't seem to work with this flavor.has anyone else had this experience with the tangiers blueberry? I'm about to just trade it off for something else because I'm clearly doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesusDoesVegas Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 I actually did get it going once and it was really good. However I have not been able to repeat the results. It is just very harsh and burns like hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yea, last time I tried this stuff it made my friend vomit. It is tasty, but for me often very heavy and harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpimpitox Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 i ran out before i got my funnel bowl but i was actually able to get it smoking decent with hours of acclimation beforehand and packing semi dense. i would use tangers regular style bowl that has lost its limelight since the funnels have been out lol. the stuff is delish i have to order more now that i got a funnel.

DrunkenWizard Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I smoked a bowl of this last night. No problems, lots of smoke and flavor. It will be somewhat "harsh" for the first set of coals. Usually by the second set it is smoking like a champ and the flavor is like POW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpimpitox Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 yea i find if i get a proper bowl of tangers packed, it has a 5 minute harsh phase then it smooths out and the smoke thickness and flavor slowly climbs and within 10-15 mins after that i got a power session going. just my personal experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 If the smoke is thin and harsh, generally more tobacco is needed. If its thick and harsh, and the draw is OK, its a humidity effect. Try more holes in the foil or switch to a screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longest Ive set it out exposed to open air is about 4 hours... perhaps this could be it. The one time it smoked well, I did no acclimation at all though. I think if I continue to toy with this flavor it will be on my own... my smoking buddies aren't so hip to the flavor anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueberry has a very in-your face kind of composure when its in humidity shock...kinda spicy, a little nutty perhaps? You are stirring the tobacco and juice together real well...right?

I stir the shisha plenty to get all the gooey juices coating the whole bag. Perhaps I shouldn't give up on this flavor just yet. Ill continue experimentation on my own until I can figure it out.
