Tangiers Lucid Tasty Peach flavored hookah tobacco

Brand and Flavor:  Tangiers Lucid Tasty Peach

Shisha Tobacco Cut:  It’s the general Tangiers cut.  Brown and very wet.

Hookah Type: KM double trimetal.  Nammor hose

Duration: 1 hour and 40 minutes

Bowl: Vortex bowl

Foil / Screen:  Regular foil

Coal / Amount:  3 or 4 CH QL coals depending on the necessity.

Smoke:  Awesome smoke.  Very thick and dense. A strong mouth feel.

Buzz:  Medium.  It’s nice and relaxing.

Smell / Flavor:  It smells like peaches.  It’s a nice balance between natural peach and candied peaches.  The flavor is more toward the end of natural and strong.

Rating (1 to 10):  8.5  This is the best peach flavor I have ever found.  It’s a nice and sweet peach with a slight flavor that is like the skin of a peach.  It’s very tasty.  I docked the score by a half point because the flavor could be a bit too sweet for really long smoking sessions.  I would prefer a very natural peach flavor rather than one that tastes like peaches in syrup.  The other point deduction is the usual one for improvement.  It’s a damn good flavor and a great tobacco but it’s not a ten.  I am going to push this tobacco and see how long I can smoke it for.  If you are looking for a peach flavor this is one of the best I have found.  It lives up to it’s name and is strong and accurate.  It’s very heat resistant and a versatile tobacco that I am going to suggest to people who want a good peach.

Tangiers Peach Iced Tea flavored hookah tobacco

Brand and Flavor:  Tangiers Peach Iced Tea

Shisha Tobacco Cut:  It’s the general Tangiers cut.  Brown and very wet.

Hookah Type: KM double trimetal.  Nammor hose

Duration: 1 hour and 40 minutes

Bowl: Tangiers small funnel

Foil / Screen:  Double regular foil

Coal / Amount:  4 CH QL coals/ 3 CH QL coals depending on heat needed.

Smoke:  Awesome smoke.  Very thick and dense. A strong mouth feel.

Buzz:  Brutal.  Strong and powerful.

Smell / Flavor:  It smells like peach and tea.  It really is a peach iced tea flavor and scent.

Rating (1 to 10):  8  This is a good flavor.  It tastes a little sweet with nice flavors of peach and tea.  It is accurate and strong.  It’s not artificial in any way and lasts a long time.  I was expecting a stronger peach flavor but the dominant flavor in this blend is the tea.  It’s great but I was hoping for a little more peach.  This is a very strong blend and it will knock you through a loop.  Of all the Tangiers I have tried this is one of the most problematic.  It needs to be smoked lightly and with a little reservation or else you could easily get hit with a bout of nicotine sickness.  It can be a bit harsh on the lungs as well.  I docked it a couple points because of these couple factors.

Al Amir: Peach

Brand and Flavor: Peach

Shisha Tobacco Cut:  Wet but paste like.  Lots of molasses.  A random cut with a mixture of different sized pieces.

Hookah Type: KM double trimetal.  Nammor hose

Duration: 45 minutes

Bowl: Vortex bowl

Foil / Screen: Regular foil

Coal / Amount:  3 CH QL coals

Smoke:  The clouds were slow in coming.  It took a long time for this tobacco to heat up.  Once it did I would say it had medium to large clouds.

Buzz:  An ok buzz.  Light.

Smell / Flavor:  This tobacco smelled interesting.  Not much like peach but rather a bit of a molasses smell with some spice and a slight peachy over tone.  The flavor was much of the same but weak and with even less peach.

Rating (1 to 10): 3  I am giving this one a very low rating because it does not taste like claimed flavor.  What flavor did come through was not entirely unpleasant.  I believe that the flavor of the molasses and the tobacco was the majority of what I tasted but it was not a particularly pleasant tobacco flavor.  The peach like flavor was minimal and faded in and out.  All in all I would not suggest trying this flavor out.  It’s a whole bunch of meh.
