Tangiers Kashmir Noir is a dark-leaf hookah tobacco blend of aromatic Kashmir spice, perfumy floral incense notes, and a dry earthy base.
Flavor build: Kashmir is not a fruit profile and it does not smoke like a typical dessert. The lead is a warm, fragrant spice character that reads piquant and slightly sweet, with a distinct “potpourri” style floral edge that sits on top of the smoke rather than blending into sugar. Underneath, there’s an earthy, tea-like dryness that keeps the profile structured and prevents it from turning syrupy. Sweetness is low-to-medium, tartness is low, and overall intensity is medium-to-strong because the aroma stays persistent and clearly defined from start to finish.
Session behavior: In the Noir line, Kashmir smokes full and heavy with dense output once it is fully warmed and stabilized. The flavor holds up well through re-heats, keeping the spice-forward core intact and the floral edge present later in the session, especially when heat is kept consistent. Some smokers find the profile bold and distinctive, which is part of the appeal, but it also means small heat changes are noticeable in the finish.
Packing & heat tips: A phunnel bowl with a dense pack is a reliable approach for Tangiers Noir, helping Kashmir stay concentrated and even. Start with moderate heat and bring the bowl up gradually. Tangiers Noir is commonly described as a dark tobacco that “smokes heavy,” and lighter, steadier coal management tends to keep the smoke smoother and the spice more refined. If the spice starts tasting sharp or overly dry, back heat down slightly and let the bowl settle before adding heat again.
Mixing suggestions:
-
Lemon to brighten the top note and add a cleaner snap to the finish.
-
Pear to soften the profile with a gentle fruit body while keeping Kashmir dominant.
-
Vanilla to round the floral edge and make the smoke feel smoother.
-
Cane mint in a small ratio if you want a colder finish, keeping Kashmir as the main note.
Overall, Tangiers Kashmir Noir hookah tobacco is an aromatic Kashmir spice and floral-incense blend with a dry earthy backbone, dense smoke, and strong stability through re-heats when managed on steady heat.
