I think the paper bags is why you have that smell.

With a light SW wind I get to smell the Bimbo factory in Rockwall in my back yard. The Folgers plant in Sherman use to put out some nice smells.

My 3 favorite smells in no particular order. Bacon. bacon, and bacon.

This, my Dad smoked a pipe and smelling one sure brings back memories.

Warm AFX or Tyco slot car engines.

Hoppes #9.

Yes Sir. My Grandpa smoked a pipe too.

Here is a pic of me on his lap when I was a kid. He spent his whole life as a LEO after the military. He was half Cherokee and a no BS hard man, but every time I smell a pipe I think of him and remember him letting me take a few puffs and the good times that we shared together.

When I get WD40 on me I don’t even wipe it off

Bacon frying and bread baking

Our sense of smell changes as we get older. Smells were much more intense when I was a youngster. My grandpa was a tenant farmer in south Texas, I spent a lot of time running wild on the farm in the country. COTTEN FIELDS. Walking the dirt roads barefoot between the cotton fields at dusk just when the air and the ground started to cool, the cotton fields had a wonderful smell. Then of course, there was nothing like the intense smell of freshly picked cotton in the trailer or at the gin. Now, almost sixty years later I don’t think the smell would even register....but the memory remains.

Bread Baking

Very cool Skin!
Many fond memories here of fishing or sitting with my grandpa Jess watching all of the western shows on tv while he smoked his pipe in a chair just like that!
Wish I had a picture of him.

Mrs Bairds on the west freeway when I was a kid.

Smell of my grand daddy’s old ranch truck. I miss that the most.

My moms fresh made tortillas. Sure miss that.

Everybody mentioning vanilla reminds me of when I was about 12 or 13 years old in the Amazon jungle in Peru. The vanilla plant that grew there was like super powered vanilla, not the easier to grow Mexican variety.

When one of those plants bloomed, the smell would just slap you silly.

New tires, freshly opened can of tennis balls.

We had a cottonseed mill under the viaduct in waxahachie in 70s n the smell was awesome when they were in process!
Fresh plowed ground.
The smell of a 22mag in the the heavy air of a cold night coon hunting the creek banks of chambers creek!
