My smelly Allende fragment came from Gary Fujihara, and it does smell like 
margarita! I doubt that any of his Allendes were contaminated with such... 
unless he originally purchased them from you?

Melanie and all,

Don't know who you bought your Allende from but.....I don't know how to 
say this, but I have sold off some Allende recently. Had some sitting 
on the counter where I make my margaritas and there is a possibility 
that I got some lime on some specimens by accident. I usually keep them 
away from the food prep area but this one time was the exception. It 
may be that is what you smell, I am sorry to say. All my best!
