Is It Just Me, Or Does Plum Pudding Smell Like Horse Poo?

Im talking the tin note..
you can really smell the Latakia, but in total, the tin note is highly reminiscent of a horse stall...


Is it just me?

I mean, I like it, and Im gonna continue to smoke it but... am I wrong here?

I haven't smelled any blends that smell like horse manure, but a few that smell like stable sweepings. Some burley blends just have that twang but smoke with good, non-horsey flavor. I have an unopened tin of Plum Pudding, so thanks for the warning. I'll put on my riding clothes, as if I had any.

I don't think it smells like that, but it's not just you that thinks Latakia does: F & K - Merde de Cheval - Tobacco Reviews - https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/3655/f-k-merde-de-cheval

I don't smell that at all. I get peaty BBQ sauce from the PP tin. I think it smells great! But hey, we all have different schnozes, and the smell of Latakia seems to be a polarizing one.

I get a lot of barnyard smells from GH and Co/Sam Gawith unaged Virginias. I just picked up a fresh box of SJF and it smells, to me, like fresh alfalfa hay.

I’m sure you can find someone else who agrees, but it’s not me ?

It tastes great, little tangy sweetness, but still barnyardy

That smell is partially what initially attracted me to English blends, opening tins reminds me of my childhood on a farm, they smell like hay, barnyard, manure, BO, and woodsmoke. It's great.

Interesting. Plum Pudding is among my top five tin notes. Maybe it’s just you

I cannot remember exactly what PP smells like out of the tin, but Hood Canal smells like a horse blanket or a stall. Not in a fresh manure way though.

It's the smell of Matt Guss's soul.?

Ouch

I never got that note from PP. I get a sour and sweet BBQ.

Many pipe blends and cigars have that smell in my opinion... I guess we should just try not think about it.

Sure he wasn't talking about a new mother in law?

At the vet's office: "Doctor, my horse's bowels smell like Latakia, is that normal?"
