Wife Loves Lat Blends

[Sweet Home Alabama]

Some time back I was parked outside a convenience store, waiting on a buddy, smoking some English blend (probably 965) in my truck with the windows down. A woman approached the truck, and I thought, "OK, here we go." and got ready for yet another antibacco lecture.

Instead she said, "Can I stand by your truck?" I said, "Sure" and that was the end of the conversation.

She just stood there with her back against the truck, taking in the smell of the pipe smoke, until my buddy returned. Then she turned to me again, said "Thanks" - and I could see that she was a little misty, then she walked off.

I think about her whenever folks start putting down Latakia’s room note.

Apparently it has a wonderful truck note.???

My wife doesn't care for any tobacco. I'm shocked she tolerates me. I must be good at taking out trash and getting rid of occasional snakes.

I think my wife would put up with the room note providing she has a bowl packed as well. And the windows are open. And she gets to burn candles during and after smoking.

I was recently smoking some Peretti's Tashkent (Latakia and Orientals) outside the kitchen window which I didn't realise was open, and my wife leaned out to announce ... that that smell was the best yet.

God has been very good to me.

My wife’s not a fan of any tobacco smells, but Lat blends are the only ones where she’ll flat out tell me “that stuff stinks!” ?‍

There is only one person I give a crap about when it comes to the smell about my tobacco is my mom. I smoke Cult Blood Red Moon and Sutliff Molto Dolce. Both have some killer smell's for people who are not smokers. I only smoke them when I have my mom over to my home for holidays as she grew up with a dad who smoked a pipe. I used to sit at my grandfathers feet and I always loved the smells. My grandfather had some decent smokes if memory serves. My mom never has complained about the smell of my pipes as I would use Cult Blood Red Moon, Sutliff Molto Dolce. and she really loved the smells.

Latakia blends and Gurkha cigars stink to high heaven and are not allowed to be smoked anywhere on my property at anytime by anyone. All others are welcomed, and I ain't changing my mind.

A friend's wife really dislikes Latakia when he smokes it, but is tolerant of almost every other blend. For certain people, it smells pretty rank. For some reason, I have no sensitivity to smelling Lat. I not only couldn't identify it, I wouldn't even notice it. I can usually pick it up as a tin note.

I don’t think mrslax necessarily likes the smell of Latakia but after all these years she’s used to it. It’s like having a pet, after awhile you don’t smell it anymore.
