    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

    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.
