One smell I will always remember is while working at my auto dealer .One of our techs was a hunter and during deer season he would bring in a crock pot of venison stew. You could smell it all around the shop. And I was delicious. Not everyone can cook venison but he could. Bobby

Have you ever stopped to think about your favorite smells?
Forkin Silage from the Silo, but didn't enjoy the smell while shoveling up the by product in the milk barn.
Yes, please re-read my original post! That is what started this session of post. Just Sayin...RJS
The smell of wet\rotting willows transports me back to the duck blind with my father. He started taking me with him when he had to cary me piggy back.
Favorite smell
On a crisp, cold, wintery morning. Walking across a field to the school bus stop. The warm smell of the Sticks potatoe chip factory, where my mother worked, wafting through the air.
I usually ate my lunch waiting for the bus.

Well, that is a dedicated dad! I can see why you remember that smell. Just Sayin...RJS
Well, concerning smells of tobacco: With cigarettes you might have two or three blends of tobacco. With cigars, there might be ten to twenty different blends, including the wrapper. Finally, in pipe tobacco, there were almost an infinite number of choices in a well-stocked shop. As far as I ever learned, it would take years to wind your way through the different choices of blended tobacco.
When I was in New York, our Medical Advisory doctors were all Canadian. One smoked these serious, long Cuban cigars since Canada did not bar Cuban products. When I was leaving, I made the rounds of all I had worked with during my stay. With one Canadian doctor that I had particular friendship, I said I would like to buy a box of Cuban cigars, if they weren't too expensive. He laughted and said they were only $7 a box. So, I bought two! Just Sayin...RJS

Cuban cigars are not what they once were in a fine cigar. Before old Fidel took over they were some of the best , but like all things Communist once the government took over the farms the quality of their cigars like everything else the hand of communist touches they went to h#ll in a hand basket. Best cigars today come from South America. IMO

When I read the first sentence of Mr Samples favorite smells the first thing I thought of was Hoppeās Power Solvent. Others are O de Barnyard, New Mown Hay and Dairy Air
The smell of gasoline in a Coleman 2 burner camp stove and Coleman mantle lantern.
Also, the smell of leather is intoxicating to me. As a kid, a new wallet as a Christmas present, and even now anytime I'm around fresh carving leather.
I've eaten a lot of quail but never fried! I'll have to give it a shot. No pun intended. Do you bread them?
Yes, I think it is what you would call breading. My mother always rolled them in flour, and I suppose you could call that breading. How do you do fried chicken? That's how you cook quail. Just Sayin...RJS
