Holy Shit, Tangiers, Returning To Smoke..

[Brownman18]

So i am now ready to start smoking again as i got rid of all the weird murmurs my lungs produced.


And i got in today 3 boxes of coco naro coals which i must say smell amazing and im stoked too use, Two new nammor black hoses.


And 3 tangiers, bubble gum, cool strawberry and passionfruit.


Now for the tangiers, how do you store these? the packaging they came in from h-s.com appears to have only a one time use system, as in once i open the plastic bag its concealed in (behind packaging) it doesnt look like it can close up properly.


Is it safe to chuck it all into plastic tupperware for the tangiers?


And for smoking tangiers, i will be using a regular bowl, since my phunnel broke in the move, is this ok ?


and i must say


THAT TANGIERS HAS THE BEST SMELL I HAVE EVER SMELLED of shisha, after 3 years of nakhla i don't think i will ever not have tangiers again, i think i'll be ordering 3-4 of these gems with each order and smoke them sparingly.

Keep your tangiers in something airtight but be sure to accumulate it before you smoke it

It can be smoked in a standard bowl but I do perfer using the phunnel happy smoking

Coal shouldnt smell...

i use tupperware for all my tobacco, including tangiers. it works fine.

there are plenty of people out there who prefer to smoke tangiers out of a traditional bowl instead of a phunnel. in fact, the best smoke i've gotten off of a bowl that i packed myself was in a Mya bowl. best bowl of tangiers, though, was when Eric packed me one himself onto a phunnel. a phunnel really is better, but you can still have a fantastic smoke out of a regular bowl.

That's what I do with pretty much all my shisha.

Co Co Naro coals are 100% coconut/fruit something it claims





I have to say these are the best coals i have ever used before, they take longer then any other natural i have used to light but they havent ashed at all in 20 minutes so far i think they will last longer then the bowl.

I am smoking tangiers passionfruit and oh my god, i think im going to be cutting my bar nights down and smoking this exclusively.


Bubblegum and cool strawberry are next! Edited June 25, 2008 by Brownman18

as long as it is washed tangiers you should be able to pack it into a standard egyptian bowl... but i still suggest getting a phunnel bowl because thats wat eric suggests and thats what i use, and i never have a abad bowl with a phunnel full of tangiers

I think he means acclimate. But if you got a good smoke right away then you must be doing everything right. Happy smoking!

Welcome back Brownman! Damn glad to see ya

[ASUSEAN1]

glad your okay man, good smoking

[srawas89]

Dont mean to thread jack but...
if I store Tangier into say an airtight jar in the area I am going to smoke will I still have to acclimate it? Edited June 25, 2008 by srawas89

yes you will because the humidity changes daily. once a week should be fine for most climates. but in California this time of year, it gets really weird and it's a good idea to aclimate before each smoke.

I have found that putting tangiers in a somewhat non-airtight container being the best. always ready to smoke out of the tub.

Try this for a normal bowl...pack it in there pretty good, to where its firmly down. Foil it. Then poke big holes up through the bottom of the bowl, then poke more holes around those. According to the instructions, using the proper amount of heat, you should be fine.

Oh and what does Lucid mean? when tis tangiers Lucid something? as opposed to tangiers non lucid?

Tangiers makes a washed tobacco, now. it's called the Tangiers Lucid line.

If you pack it in aregular bowl make sure it's packed down tight and not to high. Tangiers burns hoter after it gets going. i'd buy a new phunnel

i get awesome flavor and smoke from a light and fluffy bowl-pack of tangiers in a regular bowl. when i get back home, where my own hookah is, i'm going to try packing it down like everyone is talking about.

bulldog, when you say to poke holes "up through the bottom" of the bowl, do you mean to have the toothpick go through the bottom holes of the bowl and protrude all the way through the foil on top?
that's an awesome idea. i've gotta try that. i guess that gets better airflow so it doesn't clog, right?
if i may add -
one thing i do to better my airflow when i pack a non-phunnel bowl: after i foil it, and before i poke holes in it, i'll hold it up and lightly blow air into the bowl through the bottom, keeping the tobacco away from the bottom and making it just that much fluffier. then i poke my holes.

[Bulldog_916]

Yea, try it. I generally dont pack mine fluffy unless its in a phunnel. Then it packs it self down when I foil it. But with a normal bowl, its difficult to pack it down without blocking the holes or having tobacco come through the holes and into the water. I'll perfect the technique and then make a video, probably.
