I had to chuckle when I read this. I have never thought that black powder smoke smelled like that, but then I remembered that your European diet may be significantly different from mine here in New Mexico.Anyway, I was quite surprised afterwards with a smell from revolver - I didn't expect it to be that strong and of that type (similar to feces).
I am sure glad that you finally got to shoot it. The perceived lack of recoil is due to the fact that the 1851 is a pretty good sized handgun for .36 caliber.
