I'm really not kidding here...

I had a soft, smooth face at 11:00pm last night. Granted it took twice the time, so - it's only fair to get twice the "life" out of that shave...

Randy - I used to LOVE that Cigar cologne. They haven't made it for years - mind if I ask where you scored that bottle??

Howard,

I picked up Cigar at Ross Dress for Less when I picked up my Woods of Windsor, several months ago.

Randy, the cologne sounds interesting. Can you describe the scent and how long does it last?

No.

Just kidding, well, no, I can't. However, Basenotes can!

Top Notes
Lavender

MIddle Notes
Basil, Coriander

Base Notes
Sage, Tonka, Musk

If I apply it in the am, ususally around 8:00, I'll still get whiffs into mid-afternoon. It's a great winter scent, and matched up well with the patchouli shaving soap and a/s I am wearing today. I don't think this is for the under 30 crowd, but I could be wrong.

It's still available on the 'net. Google it and you'll find it. Like here:

Howard,

According to Basenotes, Cigar was introduced in 1996 and is still in production.

Randy

 

[HlSheppard]

Wow - thanks guys!

I never even checked the web. I was told by the place where I used to buy it (the local JR Cigar store) that it was out of production.

Jeff

Glad you like it. It's currently my favorite almond scented shaving soap.

 

[Rik]

Rik, you won't believe me, Sienna stays on me all day, and I only use 3 sprays of it.

Jeff

Must be nice!

If this is the same cologne, keep an eye on eBay. I picked up three bottles a month or so ago for $11 each. Two for myself and one as a gift.

The Cigar Cologne I have is by Remy Latour. I searched Basenotes for just "Cigar" and the Remy Latour is all that came up. The packaging certainly looks almost identical.

Rik, I seem to like just about all almond creams. DR Harris, C & E, Taylors, Trumpers, etc. Now, I have to start buying the soaps.

Basenotes definitely lists different fragrance notes for each. The stuff I have is from Cuba and very enjoyable. I'll have to keep my eye open for the Remy Latour. Weird that the packaging is so similar.
