Seasonal Changes

[lxskllr]

Since the weather's gotten a bit colder, my nasal snuff use has gone way up. I've also started using more Gotland Grå than I have over the past few months. I've noticed it before, but I thought I'd mention it here. It might be a good time to revisit some snus you weren't crazy about. Probe isn't much loved, but it goes well with cool weather, give it a try ;^)

Interesting. I don't think the seasons affect me much, but will pay better attention.

When i actually sit and think about it.. I really do change some of my patterns as well.. Like u lsxkllr, i find my snuff use has completely gone up..

Two the of snuffs i am really enjoying lately are the Samuel Gawith Golden Glow and Dark Princess... These really seem to kick in strong when i go outside in the cool air.. Any guesses as to why the smell "kicks in" when you go outside?

Cool weather?! Lucky you... we hit triple digits yesterday.

IMO, Probe rocks regardless of the weather. I just ordered more; my husband stole my tin o' Probe.

Then again, I don't dare step outside before sunset, and I keep the central AC and two window units going 24/7/365. I might have a different opinion if I ventured out into the parched wasteland surrounding my house...

' Any guesses as to why the smell "kicks in" when you go outside? '

(1) The thick background Indoors smell -- possibly not noticed but heavy nonetheless -- falls away when you step outside.

(2) The olfactory sense is stimulated by the changes and variety of outdoors smells.

(3) Most significantly, maybe, the outdoors air is a little more moist, and cooler temperatures may make your mucous membranes juice up just a tad -- both likely to improve reception of olfactory-triggering molecules and their transfer to your smellertaster.

These are ONLY guesses.

The only change I expect is a high usage of Toque Christmas Pudding and the new Cinnamon Cardamom from Catch.

Yea, I really have no idea. It seems like all outside air wakes the scent up, but it is better with cool air. I guess I'm betting on #2, but they're all pretty good hypotheses.

I plan on ordering some more Oden's Kanel and Skruf Cran.
