I can only say this here... to my fellow pipers, today I've tasted manure and I liked it.
Reminds me of a comment "good, old red Burgundies smell of mushrooms, rotting vegetation and shit"Haddo's Delight. Try it. You'll Like it. Aroma of horse shit is just overwhelming, but boy, is that an one wonderful smoke.
Old Hunter River (wine growing region north of Sydney) shiraz famously smell of "sweaty saddles"I have encountered several blends that have a tin note highly reminiscent of a horse barn, but I'm glad to say the flavor doesn't carry over once I light them up. Semois and C&D Bayou Night come to mind.
As my grandparents used to assert with stern conviction,, that's a good clean smell.
I used to work with an older lady who also had a ranch. I don't remember what led to the question, but I once asked her if the horse or the cowboy side of the saddle smelled worse. I do remember that I got the reaction I was after. She looked surprised, then grossed out, then laughed and told me I was terrible. Good times.Old Hunter River (wine growing region north of Sydney) shiraz famously smell of "sweaty saddles"
Not too sure how many would-be neophyte wine connoisseurs can say they have enthusiastically sniffed a saddle, let alone a sweaty one
