Mother Whiffs Some Jars

[pipesmokingtom]

Just did a whiff test with my mother, who hasn't smelled any pipe tobacco ever outside strong aromatics. Here were her first reactions - no prompting:
Escudo: smashed apricots

Elizabethan Mixture: fruit rollups and a horse stall

Orlik Golden Sliced: "raisins - why does it smell like raisins?"

Solani Aged Burley:Rich dark chocolate

Nightcap: Your cloths after you go camping

Gaslight: New tires - if they were on fire (my favorite)

Autumn Evening: Caramel Popcorn

Haddo's Delight: Strong chocolate liquor
It was a pretty entertaining test. I was just wondering what someone would smell off the cuff with no prior knowledge or expectations.

That's really great, thanks for sharing!

I've always wondered what people would think they were smelling if they were blindfolded and had no idea that they were smelling tobaccos. An interesting experiment?

Quite possibly the oddest thread title ever, even for a pipe forum.

Yeah, now that you mention it.

The latest poster has added an entirely new dimension to this already unusual thread.

Oh, c'mon, it's not that unusual. I thought it would be fun and someone might get enjoyment reading what my old mum thought of some jarred tobacco.

Well, it is pretty unusual. How many people have had their mother "whiff" their tobacco? Show of hands. Yep, just one.
I'm not picking on you though, it's all in good fun. I'm just providing some (I thought) humorous commentary.
You have to admit, the screen name of the poster above (my previous post) is rather ironic in this thread.
