Anyone out there tried “Tangiers” shisha?

I’ve been hearing about “Tangiers” shisha tobacco for a long time. Its masterminded by “Tangiers” himself of another forum fame and I had my tongue hanging out just hearing about the long list of great flavours.
Who can write a review or add some info?

Coffee for breakfast with your hookah

I’ve had some nice coffee flavoured shisha. I’ve had a few, but in the last two or 3 years only Nakhla, since I bought theirs recently and its quite tasty.
If you have a shisha that is not up to par (I don’t golf) try adding some real coffee grounds or what is called Nescafe (I don’t vouch for that). Be brave and add any of these:
cardamon, muscat,nutmeg,cinnamon,or clove.
go lightly, especially on clove ,cinnamon and cardamon.
You could try vinilla or rum extract of the shisha is dry, otherwise you will make too drippy a mix and it will flow down the metal shaft.

Don’t forget the coffee jitters.

Chamomile Tea for the water solution

Today I put a very concentrated ammount of cooled off chamomile tea in my bowl instead of water. I boiled 6 bags and let cool.Duh.
Then I added it to the level I like, usually high and tried it.
When putting liquid other than water in the bowl you must add less than normal. Beer, wine, chamomile or regular tea, fruit juice etc. bubble up more Add a bit less water so that your hose does not become a drinking straw. You might like beer, but not now!
I enjoy the taste of chamomile. Regular tea gives me the creeps when I smoke through it, as does Nakhla
Hookah 1 Earl Grey Tea flavour does.
(I drink 15-20 cups of tea a day).
Wash out your bowl well wirh a light solution of soap since tea has tannic acid and leaves a residue the longer it stands as my dear old father taught me 40 years ago.

P.S.

I used another hookah and went back to the chamomile tea mix and the heat caused it to ferment and taste horrible.
