I've seen the favor wheel(s), and they are somewhat helpful. But I still don't know what "nutty" on any of those wheels mean. Heck I have a mouthful of nuts as I type this, and I see no resemblance to my smokes. I think being able to contrast immediately the subtle difference seems like as viable a strategy as any, Pnoon do you disagree?
