Tangiers Tobacco is the creation of Eric Hofmann who also owns and operates the Odyssey Lounge in San Diego, CA. Starting as a hobbyist, Eric’s unique take on hookah tobacco gained popularity among members of online forums and has turned into a favorite among many smokers. Eric currently makes and blends his own tobacco and runs the tangiers.us website.
Hookah Tobacco
The actual tobacco is somewhere between modern and more classic tobaccos. The blends consists of tobacco, molasses, glycerin and flavorings. There are no dyes or preservatives and it’s all made in San Diego, CA by hand with United States grown tobacco. There are three lines of Tangiers tobacco.
First is the original known as Noir. This tobacco is unwashed which means that it has a high nicotine content an is known for being hard to deal with. It’s susceptible to humidity shock which can cause it to smoke poorly and needs to be properly treated through a process known commonly as Acclimation. Usually this just means airing it out until it acclimates to your area. Many people prefer the Noir line because of the strong nicotine buzz and the robust nature of the smoke.
Second is the Lucid line. This is a washed version of the Noir with many of the same flavors. It is also easier to deal with than the Noir line and does not suffer from humidity shock.
Third is the F-Line. F-line is a caffeinated version of the Noir line and only has a few flavors in its lineup.
Packaging
Tangiers tobacco is packaged in a vacuum sealed plastic bag with no box or tin. A piece of paper with information about the tobacco and the company is wrapped around this bag and then all of that is sealed in another bag. On the pamphlet, the color surrouding the name indicates what line the tobacco is from. Yellow is noir, orange is Lucid and red is F-Line. The line is also printed next to the name of the blend.
Smoke Duration & Thickness
Tangiers Tobacco is a very wet style of tobacco and can smoke for a very long time. Personally, I have smoked one phunnel bowl for 5 hours with multiple rounds of coals. Not all of the flavors will hold out for that long but the smoke will keep puffing away. If this is your first time smoking Tangiers make sure to read Tangiers 101.
