Scooter posted this in another thread, and I thought it might make a good topic:
OK, I have a theory that it's all in how well you smell. I think people with a sensitive sense of smell are able to detect the differences better, because a lot of what we taste actually comes from smell (this is accepted scientific fact).
I have a very sensitive sense of smell and can tell a difference in woods, especially when cooked low & slow. At higher temps I have a harder time telling.
What do you guys think?

Some people are more sensitive to smoke flavor, can pick up on it where others can't.
