gramps Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Questions. How does one pack the bowl that comes with an Elmas? Which tobaccos work best with that bowl? I ask because it may be a while before I get an adapter for my other bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which tobaccos work best with that bowl? I ask because it may be a while before I get an adapter for my other bowls. [/quote] Pack it like you would any other standard bowl. More traditional stuff like Nakhla and Desi Murli I hear is heavenly out of an Elmas. I've yet to pick some up to try out of it. Unfortunately I only have Starbuzz Pineapple and Social Smoke Mobster right now, but they'll work just fine in the unglazed clay Elmas bowl. I'm gonna use mine Thursday with SB or SS I guess (might go to this store I heard about in town that may have Nakhla, but probably won't have time) and will let you know how it goes. Gotta say though, after just looking at the bowl and feeling it in my hands (giggidy), it's a very nice, quality bowl. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, and you will too. As for an adapter, you can make one yourself if you want. Shouldn't be too hard. Tangiers will work, but (in my logic of how I've packed it in the past in clay Egyptian bowls) will need to be packed tight on the sides and loose in the middle. Hassouni smoked my Elmas using Tangiers Indian Summer Noir out of the clay Elmas bowl before he sent it to me. Perhaps he can explain how he packed it exactly, if Tangiers is what you're interested in trying out of it. He also showed me this video that I would like to share here with everybody: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7mAon0q4E[/media] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramps Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks for the info and video. It's also great to know that Nakhla does well - it's my favorite. The first chance I'll have to try will be Friday evening. I'm working 100 miles from home this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Just pack Nakhla as you would in of any other bowl. For Tangiers i put my finger in the middle of the bowl, blocking the central hole, then packed super-tight around my finger. Took my finger out, and there was a ring of tightly-packed Tangiers with nothing in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahir Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Here's my Elmas "Review" : [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIeu9dSKJKA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIeu9dSKJKA[/url] I don't really like doing reviews, as coming from a vendor always seems [b]EXTREMELY[/b] biased. This review is not biased at all in anyway, and I really do feel it's perfect.

â€On Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Gramps, I would recommend Hass' method of packing in the elmas bowl vs. the video Chris posted, but only because I have tried Hass' method and it works, I can't verify the other one. As for packing Nak in the bowl, I don't think it's possible to mess it up hah. Sprinkle it in evenly to a little above the rim, mash it down to even with the rim or just a little below the rim, foil, holes, done. Easy peasy. I must say, Nak out of the clay bowl and the elmas is unbelievably good. There is just something about the combination that works incredibly well together, and if you like Nak, you are really going to enjoy it! (have fun waiting...heh).

Hassouni Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Oh yeah, if you don't want to use your finger you can also use a thick pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm gonna try different methods, see what works best. But yeah, logic would think Hass' method would work better than the video I posted above, since it's Tangiers and Tangiers works best in a phunnel bowl.

Hassouni Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I just thought of another setup, which may work. Take a big long sheet of foil, fold it over itself until you have a very long strip about 1/3" or so wide, then wind that around a pen until you get a circle with a hole in the middle that fits into your bowl. This should save you a LOT of tobacco, because it's damn hard to vaporize an entire Elmas bowl worth of Tangiers (the bowls are deep) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
