I'm a second-hand sniffer for about 60 years. Why would I stop now?

I work in exothermics and smell graphite quite a bit, but never a card.

Because sometimes you just have to stop and smell the graphite.

You can tell the quality of graphite from the smell. Its not something you can just pick up. I've been in the industry for 8 years and just recently have been able to figure it out.

I always thought smelling a card was a prerequisite to complete ownership--kind of like a stamp of approval.

I have smelled quite a few! Just for fun though.

I work with several geologists (rock lickers). They lick some types of rocks to help identify them.

At least I don't lick cards!
