Mixing Tangiers

[buzz'd]

So, i finally thought i was getting the hang of tangiers, but everytime about 45 mins into my sesh it starts getting thin and harsh. I think this is a problem with heat management, so that wont be to hard to fix. The buzz however is killing me, so i figured i would mix it with something less strong...and here is where my questions comes. When you mix tangiers with something else, in my case Al-Amir do you mix the two things together before putting them in the bowl, or do you layer them. Also do you pack the bowl overfilling it as you normally do with tangiers even though it is mixed? I ask this because whenever i try to pack a bowl of Al-Amir the same as i do tangiers it burns and tastes terrible. Please help me out.

Personally I cut up the tangiers tobacco as the same length as the tobacco I am mixing it with. I mix it outside the bowl usually putting in about half of each. I never had a problem with packing tangiers differently than other tobacco so I cant help you there.. but I like to leave a space between the shisha and the foil

Ok so mix it up before, possibly cut it up a bit. I think i will pack it how i usually do with tangiers.

I like to mix my Kashmir F-Line with my GAF Esk. Apple. I don't cut my tangiers, I just mix before hand.

do you over fill your bowls when you pack them?

do you over fill your bowls when you pack them?

no...instead when you think you don't have enough.. you have probably have overfilled. Edited April 3, 2007 by Zerodynamic

wow everyone says something different about smoking tangiers
usually i overfill the bowl and it smokes well
so you put it level and mix it, and it smokes well, this is very confusing

tangiers actually mixes superbly with starbuzz. starbuzz is so sweet and smooth, it really lets you take the tangiers deep into your lungs, while you still get a good buzz from the tangiers. but yeah, they complement each other like whoa. sometimes you can get by with hookah hookah and tangiers, but b/c tangiers retains heat better, it can sometimes scorch more delicate tobacco when mixed in the same bowl. off set this by putting it on top, as opposed to mixing it together. here's some mixes for the people:

tangiers red tea + sbzz peach (peach tea)
tangiers lime + sbuzz guava (my absolute favorite mix at the moment. if you have these two flavors try it, if not get them)
tangiers cocoa +cinnamon + and a dash of sbzz house blend (almost like a german chocolate cake, to make it more cake like, substitute sbzz vanilla or havana coconut)
here's something gangster: tangiers lemon lime + orange soda + small topping of h-h pinapple (makes mt. dew flavored shisha, that's right, it's possible)
tangiers orange soda + sbzz vanilla (dream sicle sp?)
tangiers black thorn + sbzz vanilla, absolutely gangsta
tangiers marigold + sbzz vanilla, absolutely gangsta, a complicated spicy/sweet mix. orgasm.


that's a good start.

well i cut up the tangiers a bit and mixed it up with the Al-Amir before putting it in the bowl. I packed the bowl a little over the rim, but not as much as i do with straight tangiers...it worked very well, nice smooth clouds, with a killer buzz.
