True Honduran Mahogany gets as smooth as buttered silk, like slipping
into the best girlfriend that you ever had.

What you describe is more akin to what goes under the tradename
Philippine Mahogany, which is crankier than the worst wife that you
could ever imagine, twice as hairy, and not really a mahogany at all.

As per the analogy, they come from different places and have different
temperaments.
