    I just received a sample of the My Mixture #28,000 from Matt (@Lostmason).

    It looks like 1Q, was properly moist and soft in the plastic bag and it wasn't broken much if at all.

    The aroma was gone and replaced by a smell that I recognized immediately as acetone. Don't smoke this, nor blend with it, it's effectively a 1Q and paint thinner. It has to be tossed.

    This was an alcohol based aromatic and when it oxidizes it becomes acetone. I had to wash my hands several times to remove the smell.

    Tab (@Haebar) you might want to call the people who auctioned this stuff and even the store, and let them know what they sold. You might not get your money back but you'll at least alert them so that they don't do this again. Not healthy.

    Wish I had better news.

    Regards,

    Pete

    Acetone? Maybe your wife can use it to remove her nail polish....
    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    Dunhill had a brief brain fart and had Lane mix up some aromatics which they sold under the names MM 20,000 series. They were terrible and available only in the Dunhill stores, especially NY. They flopped and the remainder was sold off. I bought a couple and had them for a few years before I tossed them.

    I sent an email to Uptown's Tobacconist shop in Nashville about the My Mixture 28,000 issue on Tuesday night. Haven't heard back from them yet. They had contributed the tobacco for the silent auction.
