Hi Chicken. Many times I have had women come up to me when I was smoking my pipe. I usually push my chest out a bit and pull in my tummy as I see them approaching. Many of them have told me they love the smell of the tobacco. This makes me incredibly happy. Then they add that it reminds me of their grandfather when he was alive and the smell brings back fond memories. Now I am not sure whether to take it as a compliment or a condemnation!

It does make for an interesting comparison. Almost all women I've met think cigars stink but they all love the smell of a pipe

For some reason they don't like Sam Gawith Black Irish XX Or the strong english blends.
Shame as they are the ones I enjoy

The emotional center of the brain is derived from the olfactory complex. You'll have warm, fuzzy feelings when you smell whatever Grandpa smoked or Grandma cooked. My grandchildren, when they become adults, will think happy thoughts whenever they smell a cigar--and they may not know why.

You're absolutely correct. If driving down the road I get a little wiff of skunk it brings back all kinds of warm fuzzies. No idea why. Go figure. -- John

Just as Seanz said, they don't like English blends. They like aromatics but I rarely smoke aros. I find myself smoking mostly English or Virginia blends or anything else that has little to no added fragrances. If I want to smell fragrances, I'll go to the Hallmark store and buy some scented candles.

I never knew that there was a link with the olfactory complex and the emotional part of the brain. Maybe that's why I like the smell of diesel. The smell of diesel reminds me of when I went to Rome when I was a kid. I hold fond memories of that trip.

Fresh cut Timothy hay and spring time cow poo smell too good to me.

Red Virginia (Toasted ) 20%
Bright Virginia (Toasted ) 34%
Oriental 26%
Brown Cavendish 19%
(unsweetened)

That second recipe looks quite good and I just happen to have the ingredients. (thanks to JBD for a small amount of Latakia) I'll use Izmir, what are you using for your Oriental?

You guys are killing me with all this raving about Samsun Maden. BigB ran out of Samsun Maden by the time I ordered. So... Anyone want to trade a bit for some Syrian Latakia?

If you don't find any before mine is harvested and cured we can do some swapping. I'll have seed, too.
