I've read Russ O's essay on the olfactory senses and how certain smells can invoke vivid recollections of times and places, I'm sure we've all experienced those déjà Vu moments when an odor reaches out and just stops you dead in your tracks as you try and process when and how you know that smell. I'm currently smoking some Dunhill EMP and I've smoked a good bit of it over the last 10 years, both the Murray's version and now the Danish version. Today I got a taste and room note reminder that harkened back to the Murray's blend, (which I happened to love) and it got me to thinking about how it's nearly impossible to "remember" a given flavor until it hits your tongue and then it's like instant recall. It just struck me as odd that out of this freshly opened tin, I could experience that after having smoked pounds of the same blend without ever noticing it. If this all seems to bizzarro to you, just say so, I can handle it. ;-)
