Tangiers Cocoa

[chromecarz00]

So my first tangy experience, its harshish, but good smoke. I checked the wiki and it said that ill get used to it...am I right?
Also is it a good first flavor?

Shouldn't be "harsh" persay, maybe a slight tinge in the throat.

Overpack it even more so than your doing. Get it right, and it'll be as smooth as the rest.

Never had cocoa, but my favs are blueberry( bring it back Eric!) and PEAR.

yea the tickle in the back of the throat will go away after you smoke tangiers more often.
my first tangiers flavor was the f-line cocoa, and that knocked me on my ass, so its a stronger flavor but in the long run i guess i got used to tangiers alot faster with this flavor.

plus it smells/tastes like tollhouse chocolate chip cookies =)

you may be using too much heat as well//how much and white type of coals are you using?

[SimplexCoda]

ya cocoa is pretty good. Even from the first time i smoked tangiers it wasnt harsh. It tickled the throat but thats about it.

[chromecarz00]

Mush it wasnt too hot; I started with one 3k, and even then it was harsh; I followed all of the tutorials and got the baccy at the exact level; Im guessing its just the way it is?

I would break the 3 Kings into three or four pieces BEFORE lighting. Try adding more tobacco to the bowl...see what that does.

Few people use the whole QL coals without cutting them in halves (33mm pieces) or even occasionally thirds (40mm pieces)

F-line cocoa is my favorite tangiers flavor... so far. I've only had like 4 to begin with. It took me a while to get it down right, but it tastes great.
