How does your spice mix smell after mixing? does it smell STRONG? or do you have to really put your nose up to it to be able to smell it? if so, your mix is weak. Your cooking aroma will be weak, and your flavour will be weak.
With a strong smelling mix you should take the lid off, and it hits you in the face a good 30cm away from your nose.
There's only two ways you end up with a weak mix, and the main way is due to weak smelling pepper, and most pepper is trash and weak smelling. The second way is an unbalanced recipe which chokes the aroma.
I really think alot of people don't even realize this. They get a bad batch of pepper, and don't realize it is much weaker smelling than their old potent batch, and then think their recipe turned out crap because it wasn't the right combination of herbs/spices when really it was due to the pepper.
