oh very good tips , thanks for that goatcheese ,
the only thing i think that could be added is building up an aroma library in your brain somewhere ,
i notice some folks have a better one than others and can liken an aroma quickly to something else we are all familiar with ,
ie meat , leather , floral etc ...
It’s easier to pick out the different parts of the plant’s aroma when you smell it the ”right way”.
Same goes with dried grounded bud you’re about to smoke; if you smell it really close by – your nose almost touching it – you will pick a lot of dusty, resin smell and green plant smell. But when you hold it about 10-15cm away from your nose you will pick much more of the different components of the terps/flavos
