I must say that I was very happy to see how you conducted yourself when your precious Syrian latakia burned up. You could have followed the example of Balkan Sobranie by simply substituting ingredients in blends with a large following. Such a betrayal would have been pretty obvious in the case of Bohemian Scandal, but you might have pulled it off with a couple of the others. I think your decision to cease production may have helped to cement your reputation as a true master of your craft. From my perspective, you come across not as a businessman trying to boost the popularity of the names of your various blends, but as an artisan in the business of crafting and selling specific recipes. The names of your blends seem to be inextricably linked to precise recipes, and if the ingredients were to radically shift, you would no longer be able to sell them under the same names. Of course, many of your blends are not exactly the same today as they were when you first produced them. There is less dust at the bottom of your tins today than there was when you first began producing them. Even some recent blends, like Fillmore and Embarcadero, are presented differently today than they were at their inception. But I see all of these changes as having been done in the service of the original recipes, rather than in any effort to change them. The presentation is enhanced, for example, without the contents or proportions being changed, and I imagine that you are just striving to get the final product closer to your original intention.

Pardon me for blabbering on and on in your praise. I’m sure you get enough of that already. What is most interesting to me about your post is its emphasis on the effects of perception, assumptions, consciousness, etc., upon your experience. I am not currently qualified to offer you as much help in such musings as I would like. But once I have gotten out of grad school and done a fair amount of research, I hope to zero in on some insights that are at least peripherally related. Taste and smell are very physical sensations, and I would like to work on disentangling the mystery that lies between conscious awareness and the physical body. Over fifty years ago, Moshe Feldenkrais made some admirable efforts in that direction, but in all the time that has passed since then (and despite our maturing understanding), very few have travelled farther down that path than he did. We live in a world so full of industrial products designed without heed to the biomechanics of the human body that we are nearly forced to become decreasingly aware of physical sensations in order to retain the illusion that we are comfortable. Perhaps this same numbness has something to do with our tendency to completely miss the dilution of Altoids as it is occurring.

Or, perhaps we just like to take some pride in the idea that we’ve gotten tougher. I know my ego tends to be boosted by the occasional mild pepper in a batch of hotter ones.

By the way, I thought the Dorset Naga was the hottest pepper on the planet. Is this “ghost pepper” truly even hotter!?
