I don't think I ever saw anyone identify a brand just by the smell. it's impossible. most brands from the same parent company are made at the same factory from the same batch of the same chemical-soaked tobacco pulp. it's just the filters and packages that are different. when I smoked, chesterfields, l&ms, pall malls, winstons, parliaments, etc, all tasted and smelled the same to me. only the cheapest godawful local brands smelled different than the rest.
If you sniff an individual who is smokes Marlboro reds and compare to the scent of someone who smokes Marlboro lights (for example) there is a very noticeable difference.

Maybe. But my grandpa exclusively smoked Camels, and on the rare occasions I like (don't dislike) cigarette smoke, it turns out to be Camel smoke.
