the smell of the older skunk was almost dripping wet, it was so loud. you could smell it immediately if you were in the near vicinity. that is the difference between the current skunks and the older ones. chems for example, have a skunkiness, but if you crack a jar it isn't all that noticeable from 20 ft away. the old-school skunk was. the last time I had it was in the early 2000's. my buddy knew a grower, and just walking up to the guy's property was amazing. the smell was almost like a wall. a wall that penetrated the nostrils and nasal cavity. that is why they bred the smell out... it was too loud for illegal growers. I never thought it would disappear so completely... the smell just "felt right", but the high was great too... it really was good weed. I'm sure it will resurface again at some point... it's hard to say if sk1 was really it or not, because people were shipping weed in from all over the place at one point... it might end up being something that came out of some mystery bagseed.
