Tangiers Shisha

With so many brands out there, it takes a lot to impress the hookah tobacco connoisseur. Now we aren’t saying that this is the best hookah tobacco around. That’s for you to decide. But what we will say is that this is our favorite and the flavor you get from Tangiers shisha is unlike anything else on the market.

Cut from Californian tobacco stock (already known by tobacconists as some of the finest tobacco in the world), the regular Tangiers has a fragrant earthy smell with every flavor. This is what sets Tangiers hookah tobacco apart taste-wise from anything else on the market.

Once Tangiers shisha is cut, it is paired with an exceptional coating of flavor. Tangiers hookah tobacco ranges from pretty good (light intensity) to blown-your-mind, I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-butter jawesomeness (high intensity).

Like Learning the Gears on a Ferrari, Smoking Tangiers Hookah Tobacco is an Art

Once you have a respectable hookah rig and have begun the hookah journey to becoming a master, you have to learn Tangiers. This isn’t a starter’s tobacco. It has to be treated well. This is no Honda with a forgiving clutch, but a super-car that has to be appreciated to unlock its true power.

Like buying hookah tobacco at a butcher shop, Tangiers comes tightly packed in a vacuum sealed bag wrapped in wax paper. Cut open the bag and spread the tobacco out on the paper. Let it sit and get use to the new environment. This will enhance the flavor. After a few hours, feel free to throw it into a sealed jar and keep it at room temperature.

Grab a few friends and your Tangiers Phunnel Bowl. Don’t be afraid to really pack the Tangiers shisha into the bowl (Here's step by step instructions).

If it doesn’t blow your mind right away: try, try again. Sometimes art takes practice. Once you’ve got it down, though, you will be happy that Tangiers shisha is now in your hookah repertoire.

A Story to Illustrate the Point

I had been subsisting on a strict diet of Nakhla shisha since I’d gotten back from Egypt. I loved my hookah and thought that this was living the dream.

Once I got online, I noticed that there had been great strides in the shisha art since the times of old men drinking tea and smoking pipe on the sidewalks of Cairo. Like assholes, there were opinions online and everyone had one, especially about the new comer, Tangiers. Some loved, some hated. It was like debating abortion at a Rolling Stones concert.

I thought I’d give it a whirl. Hell, they even had an Orange Soda flavor, which piqued my pallet, given my former experience with only the mundane offerings of Nakhla.

I got my order, and laid it out as the provided instructions told me. I was not prepared for the flavor onslaught the Orange Soda Tangiers shisha gave me. It immediately brought me back to younger days of drinking Crush on the patio.

From then on, I’ve tried to get to every flavor. The Orange Soda stands tall, but beside it stand Blueberry, cocoa, and Peach Iced Tea that all gave me that pop in the flavonoids that first turned me on to the brand. This was the dream I had been missing.
