If this is your first time getting a Phunnel Bowl, here is how to make it go the distance:

Tangiers can be a fickle tobacco to work with, with an optimal setup laying somewhere closer to art than science. Here are some of our tips to getting this Ferrari to drive straight:

Step 1: Open up the package and place the tobacco on the paper.

Step 2: Spread it out over the paper evenly. Let it sit for a good couple of hours to acclimate. (Acclimatizing your Tangiers will ensure proper smoking down the line)

Step 3: Throw the acclimatized tobacco into your favorite receptacle.

Step 4: Take your Tangiers brand funnel bowl, and pack the shisha around the nipple tightly. Unlike other bowls and tobacco, no need to pack it in loosely. It’s the Tangiers way. However, don’t pack it to the top, the tobacco should be no more than to the top of the nipple, leaving a little space between the tobacco and foil.

Step 5: Place aluminum foil over the bowl. Make sure to fix the Step 3 foil tightly around the bowl so that there are no wrinkles. Feel free to build a crown around the edges, especially if you are flying without a tray, ala Hobo style. Then poke one large hole in the center, right above the nipple and then 1-2 circles of holes around the edges.

Step 6: You are ready to smoke. We recommend using the large 40mm Starlight or 3 Kings coals, broken in half. Light up the halves and then place them on opposite edges of the bowl over the small punctured holes. DO NOT place coal over the center hole, unless you really like the taste of carbon monoxide.

Step 7: Throw it on your hookah and Enjoy!

What to Expect:

Tangiers takes a little while to heat up; your hookah wont be pulling 100% until about 10 minutes in. This hookah tobacco will go the distance, with the smaller bowl retaining flavor well into the second hour. Over all, this is a tip top hookah tobacco, with some of the best flavors on the market. So while the preparation can be daunting, the benefits you reap will be there in the end (even if it takes you 2-3 bowls to perfect the art).

Since Tangiers does go the distance, especially on a large bowl, make sure to occasionally ash the coal remnants to make sure that the new coals keep the heat up on the tobacco.

We’ve seen one bowl last up to 4 hours, charging through an entire pack of coals over the course of a righteous party. If you follow these instructions, you will too.
