Fresh cut grass? Wet sidewalk? Top of baby's head? McDonald's french fries?Does anyone know of a finer scent?
I like Tabac on cold days; late fall I'll use it sometimes.

Is it a splash or a balm?
I have been using the toothpaste, cooking oil, foot powder and mouthwash for a while. Love it!

In Magalluf, Captain Morgan is regarded as good stuff.....
Most bars serve rotgut like Captain Huk or Ron Tobacco rums, Rushkinoff vodka, Palmbridge gin or DYC whisky - basically just flavoured alcohol either with or without a bit of caramel to give it colour
Guaranteed to give you a pounding headache, churning guts and a hoarse voice when you wake up (and wish that you hadn't) the next day
Luckily the Spanish and most of the Expats have got enough sense to drink Brugal, Barcelo or Havana Club rum, Absolut vodka, Bombay Sapphire gin or J&B or Ballentines whisky - while laughing at the tourists who are making fools of themselves drinking the cheap stuff
By a merciful act of nature, the cheap Spanish brandies like Veterano, Soberano or Carlos III aren't too harsh and are similar to French pouring brands like Courvoisier, Martell or Hennessy
IMHO, The quality Spanish brandies like Lepanto, Cardenal Mendoza and Carlos I - correctly served in a warmed balloon glass all knock spots off French brandies like Remy Martin VSOP
Jamaican Blue Mountain, "Drip" or French Press coffees are all virtually unheard of in Spain
Every bar has an Espresso style machine and generally serve a freshly ground blend of Natural and Torrefacto coffee beans
Due to a national shortage of coffee beans in the late 1930s, they started to spray sugar water onto the beans before roasting, this acted as a preservative and also increased the weight, both of which made the limited supplies of coffee last longer.
It also resulted in jet black and shiny beans and a very strong flavour
Slowly but surely more and more natural beans were added to the mix, and now most blends are around 70% Natural 30% Torrefacto - although some supermarket blends are 50/50
They're slowly beginning to come around to natural coffee beans, but Torrefacto has been firmly in the Spanish palate for nearly 80 years and most people find natural beans to be a bit bland
