Obviously, you got it. Big-time. I found no adjectives that sufficed, so I ended up coming as close as I could by describing vibes—apparently unrelated impressions of things that somehow do relate in a way that's difficult to describe, but that I nonetheless sensed.
You've taken a somewhat different and no less explicative route—one that attempts to home in on Embarcadero's elusive qualities through experiences it recalls. Somehow, it seems to fit. Some experiences—I mean the really special ones—can be almost poetic, if not in the way we perceive them at the time, then in the way they seem when we recall them. Somehow, your Arabian tent and accompanying sensations with dusk morphing into night gets the job done. That's precisely what Embarcadero does if you try to fathom it and let it speak to you; it transports you to experiences and perception that transcend the act of smokage itself. It takes a thoughtful mind to listen that closely to its own reflections.
And yet, in the end, you confess that for all your disquisition of Embarcadero's virtues, by your own judgment, your description is enfeebled, coming up short of doing the weed justice. I can relate. Perhaps the recognition of its undefinable qualities is the hallmark of those who truly grok it.

Very well said Vito, I couldn't agree with you more. I'm often shocked at how many people consider this to be a mediocre tobacco  . I suppose that the person just didn't really give it the attention it can demand, then again for some it's just not their cup of tea. They call it different tastes, I call it insanity  .
