I've always wished that coffee tasted as good as it smells.
Same with Rum and Maple and a few other pipe tobaccos. Well, Ken, all coffee is good but some of it is a dang site better than others! Rum and Maple sure smells better than it smokes.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

� Rum and Maple sure smells better than it smokes. My buddy Sam's favorite was "Trolley Car," which stank so bad that I suggested that it must be trolly-car sweepings. Sam insisted that it tasted good, but I could never gin-up the courage to try it.
"Good enough" isn't.

Same with Rum and Maple and a few other pipe tobaccos. Amen to the coffee - seems like it should be eaten out of the can with a spoon. I would imagine that pipe tobacco smelling better than it tastes would be on the same order as wine being a big disappointment compared to the flavor of the juice from which it was made.

The salt air of the Gulf of Mexico, or the Laguna Madre, combined with a big speckled trout slick.
A big roaring live oak campfire.

A great big fat juicy Ribeye steak over a glowing bed of Mesquite coals with some charred corn on the cob next to it.
A freshly baked bread just outta the oven.
Coffee.
Oranges.
My wifes homemade Pizza.
A high desert after a rain.
Mid west woods with all the leaves and hardwood nuts on the ground.
The beach on a warm summer eve.
Niagara Falls.
Just a few I could remember for now.

The aroma in the air on a desert morning after a rain.
Almost any kind of perfume on a beautiful woman.

Stopped for a pad break in the back of the van late one summer night in a long drive across Montana � 'way out in the boonies. The breeze � or was it my imagination? � brought in a heavenly aroma that I wasn't sure that I was smelling, it was so faint. (I think that it was sage.) It made me think of an old song that we used to sing � Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly over the noisy keys.
I knew not what I was playing or what I was dreaming then,
But I struck one chord of music like the sound of a great Amen.
It flooded the crimson twilight like the close of an angel's psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit with a touch of infinite calm.
It quieted pain and sorrow like love overcoming strife,
It seemed the harmonious echo from our discordant life.
It linked all perplexed meanings into one perfect peace
And trembled away into silence as if it were loath to cease;
I have sought, but I seek it vainly, that one lost chord divine,
That came from the soul of the organ and entered into mine.
It may be that Death's bright angel will speak in that chord again;
It may be that only in Heaven I shall hear that grand Amen! Whatever it was, that was one wonderful aroma!

Harvesting grain...hay...the mixed smells of a working horse, leather. dust and cattle...a branding fire.
