Tangiers Indian Summer Noir is a hookah tobacco blend of cherry, lemon, and floral notes, built as a complex fruit-forward profile where different layers can show more strongly from session to session.
Flavor build: Cherry forms the core, giving the blend a rounded red-fruit body that reads rich and saturated rather than sharply tart. Lemon follows as a bright, zesty lift that tightens the cherry and adds a crisp bite on the finish, keeping the profile lively and structured. A floral shade sits in the background as an aromatic accent, adding a light perfume-like edge that can feel more noticeable once the bowl is fully warmed. Sweetness lands at medium, tartness is medium, and intensity is medium-strong. The blend comes across as layered and slightly shifting, with cherry usually anchoring the mid-palate while lemon and the floral note trade places on the exhale depending on heat and airflow.
Session behavior: As a Tangiers Noir hookah tobacco, Indian Summer produces dense clouds and a heavier mouthfeel when heat is stable. The flavor typically opens gradually, becoming more cohesive after the first heat cycle, and it holds up well through re-heats. Because the profile relies on several aromatic elements, it can feel a little different bowl to bowl: higher heat tends to push the brighter lemon and the floral edge forward, while a steadier moderate heat keeps cherry more prominent and rounds the finish. With controlled heat changes, it remains smooth and complex rather than sharp.
Packing & heat tips: A phunnel bowl is recommended for the most consistent performance and cleaner separation between fruit and floral notes. Pack dense and even, level the surface, and keep the tobacco slightly below the rim to reduce scorching. Start with moderate heat and allow a patient warm-up so the cherry base develops before the brighter notes take over. Once the bowl stabilizes, adjust heat in small steps. If the floral note becomes too sharp, reduce heat slightly and let it settle; if the blend tastes too soft or muted, add a small amount of heat and hold it steady.
Mixing suggestions:
-
Mix with vanilla in small amounts to soften the floral edge and give the smoke a rounder mouthfeel.
-
Combine with lemon if you want a brighter, more citrus-forward version while keeping the cherry backbone.
Overall, Tangiers Indian Summer Noir hookah tobacco is a medium-strong cherry, lemon, and floral shisha mix with dense clouds, a layered taste that can shift with heat, and reliable stability through re-heats when managed steadily.
