Well, the Germans who spoke the text for these commercials:

say something else entirely (tah-bahk with a "k" and stress on the first syllable).

Pretty neat.

I'd like to hear some English language commercials for Tabac. I would be willing to wager that it is NOT pronounced as it is in the German commercials, but that the stress is slightly on the second syllable (although it probably is ta -BACK, as opposed to ta - BACH).

Well, it sounds like us Amuricans say: Tah-back.
