STUMPERS CCCLXXXIII

Joseph Appel

Think of a five-letter word that names something most people think smells bad, though some people think it smells good. Add an L to it and anagram the letters to name something most people think smells good, though some people think it smells bad.  

Bonus stumper: 

Placing the L in a certain position in the shorter word makes its anagram even more interesting. Where do you place it, and what is interesting about the new anagram?

 

HINT:

The longer word is something you cook with.

BIG HINT:

The shorter word is something you smoke.

 

Answers:

 

CIGAR - GARLIC 

 

Bonus: If you place the added L between the I and G, you have CILGAR - the exact reverse spelling of GARLIC.
