I recently received a small baggy that had about 13g of freshly-cut
Allende slices and internal fragments. When I first opened the baggy,
I stuck my considerable nose into the opening and inhaled. It had a
distinct musty odor to it - like some old piece of fabric that had
been sitting in an attic or basement for a long time - almost
sulfur-like.
