[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 556962, member: 4458"] Back on Jan 9 I posted about how I reacted differently to a blend I know well when my nasal passages were dried up. Well, it happened again today. and I'd like to explore this further if others care to share their experiences. Here's the original post: So, last night I forgot to turn on the humidifier in the bedroom and woke up with nasal passages rather dry. This morning I loaded up a bowl of Orlik Golden Slice that I enjoyed more than I ever have before. This from a tin that was not quite three years old when I popped it and now another seven months in the jar. So, still a baby. But the subtle nuances of baking spice, white raisin, straw, and inexplicable goodness were especially vivid. Normally I enjoy this blend in the summer, but now I'm re-thinking that idea. I've read discussions about recommended summer blends and have to wonder if it is all just the blind leading the blind. I'm starting to think relative humidity, or how moist or dry your nasal passages are have more impact than temperature per se. This may also explain why I like savory sauced blends like MacBaren Dark Twist or Mclelland in the summer, because they cut through all the moisture and mucus lining that happens in the humid Virginia summers. Thoughts? Experiences? [/QUOTE]
