You know, I was gonna post a question a few days ago but I thought it sounded so crazy. All of the antiques I have been getting on ebay lately smell of flavored tobacco. I open the package and just love the smell but I couldn't figure out why in the world they all smelled like that. I figured someone was just smokin' while they packed it lol. It's been that way with the old postcards I've been buying, too. Makes them smell wonderful. Guess I am the only one who didn't know this trick! Maybe I'll do that with my trunk...
