So that's my problem. I've been using garlic powder instead of chopped garlic, and lemon juice instead of lime juice.

Should have known better than to listen to Manitas.

I've heard that the gitanos puros sniff it instead! Besides the speed it also gives power to the picados.

I heard football players sniff smelling salt before games. This gives them an extra boost.

Let's get real. Pepe Romero once said: “To increase speed you must increase the amount of rest, peace, calmness that you can maintain. That is the secret to playing fast.”
