Tangier's Noir Style Reviews - Kashmir Peach, Kiwi, Vanilla, and Juicy Peach

Tangier’s Kashmir Peach

Shisha Cut: typical Tang cut, drippy. Black in color.
Hookah Type: 27" & 30" Syrian
Duration: 1hr 30min to 2+ hrs
Bowl: phunnel w/ mod
Foil / Screen: foil (many, MANY holes)
Coal / Amount: 3-4 silver tabs, 2 large chunks coco shell
Smoke: med
Buzz: mild to heavy
Smell / Flavor: Spicy peach smell and spiced peach taste. The peach was alittle understated, it could have been stronger, but it was a nice mellow smoke (for Tangiers).

Rating (1 to 10): 9

I don't smoke Tangier's hard (I wish I could) but out of the 4 flavors I've tried, this was the easiest and smoothest so far. Nice relaxing taste/smell, could get harsh - but that was more me than the shisha (I believe). Most defiantly will buy again.

Tangier’s Vanilla

Shisha Cut: typical tangiers, drippy, black in color.
Hookah Type: 27" syrian
Duration: 1hr +/-
Bowl: phunnel
Foil / Screen: foil (holes!!!!!!)
Coal / Amount: 3-4 silver tabs
Smoke: med to thick
Buzz: heavy
Smell / Flavor: Strong vanilla scent, slight undercurrent of something smoky. Taste was creamy vanilla, with an undercurrent of hickory. Not a overall bad taste, but slightly odd.

~ Taste changes ALOT with acclimation - min of 4 hours. ~

The smell is good, but the slight hickory taste is strange. Not bad, as vanillas go, but could be better. Mixed with other Tangier flavors, it tends to mellow them out. For more vanilla flavor, add vanilla extract to the base.

Tangier’s Juicy Peach

Shisha Cut: typical Tangiers, drippy and black in color
Hookah Type: 30" Syrian
Duration: 55 min
Bowl: phunnel w/ mod
Foil / Screen: foil (again w/ the holes)
Coal / Amount: 3-4 silver tabs
Smoke: med to thick
Buzz: A$$ kicking
Smell / Flavor: Peachy with undercurrent of Pear. Taste is Peach mixed with Pears, with a hint of something I couldn't put my finger on. (New sample was defiantly more Peach, but the Pear taste was still there).

Rating (1 to 10): 7

Once I got a new sample, I was more impressed with this flavor. It's peach mixed with some pear, instead of just Pears. Had an undercurrent of something I couldn't figure out, but that may be the Tangier's tobacco. Was a nice mellow smoke - watch the heat. Just alittle too much had me coughing up a storm.

Tangier’s Kiwi

Shisha Cut: typical tangiers, drippy, black in color
Hookah Type: 17" modern
Duration: 1hr +/-
Bowl: phunnel w/ mod
Foil / Screen: foil
Coal / Amount: 3-4 silver tabs
Smoke: med to thick
Buzz: HEAVY
Smell / Flavor: Sweet fruit - kiwi! Taste, I have to assume this is what a kiwi tastes like, but it's sweet fruitiness. Yummie - mouth watering.

Rating (1 to 10): 9

One of my favorite Tangiers flavors (before I had KP), mixes well with strawberry (Layalina). Doesn't sting me like most of the other Tangier flavors, I can smoke this one pretty well.
