Sambava, Madagascar -- The world's largest vanilla industry is feared to be on the verge of collapse as farmers struggle to earn a living.

We will all rue the day when newcomers to our hobby can no longer appreciate the magic that is the phrase "hints of 7 y.o. Madagascar vanilla". Oh woe to our hobby, woe I say.

Oh, but we still have wonderful descriptive phrases I've seen like (I'm paraphrasing), "tasted like butt hair wrapped in a paper lunch bag".

I feel better now, don't you?
