Many of the coarser moister dark snuffs have a really horse shit smell. It's actually nice in a way if you ask me. I think it's a combo of additives and fermentation coming together and making that smell. Some of the things added to tobacco have some of the same chemicals as hay add in fermentation and it starts making sense. But again I am just talking out of my posterior so.....

My all-time favorite single-leaf burley variant, Tabac-Manil Semois smells distinctly barnyard, and quite a bit of manure along with the hay, but once I light it up, it is all honeysuckle and sunshine to me. Funny the way that works.

Well, I had heard of Merde de Cheval, but now, Merde de la Vache ?

OP, your run-on sentence left me unable to know which tobacco you're talking about. Sorry, I tried.

Fermented dark Virginias. You're going to have fun with Brown Bogie, Brown Irish Twist, and Black Irish Twist.

My kid thinks cigars smell like cowshit.

 

[BROBS]

Cigars just smell like ass, period.

cat pee and cow manure smells from tobacco can be attributed to fermentation. Most will tell you that the tobacco needs more time when you smell them. In the case of nasal snuff, I love it when snuff is ammonia-y and barnyard-y

I recently was given some MacBaren's Mixture: Scottish Blend. And I watched a video review (as I tend to do with the tobaccos I am trying out). The guy described it as smelling like cat pee. Can't say I agree or disagree. Don't know what cat pee smells like tbh.

"WTF Mittens! Your piss smells like Scottish Blend!!"

This ^^^... exactly, with the cabbie's, was my experience also.
Like a tangy lemonade kind of thing, but more subtle. And not quite as wet ha ha
