Well, I'm taking it home from the office ...
It smells like grandpa's smoking jacket after being stuffed in grandma's makup drawer for a month.No, this is definitely grandma's make-up drawer, not grandpa's smoking jacket!
(I think I'd be okay with the latter.)
I think that the Tabac is okay; nothing special.
I'm always amazed, though, by those who criticize the Arko stick and then lavish praise on this dreck.

I can take or leave it's smell, but I certainly can't leave its performance as a shaving soap. I haven't found anything that matches it terms of slickness.
Well, I (finally) used Tabac for the first time today, via a BBE v2.
Observations:
1) the scent in the box & wrapper is, to my ofactory sensibilities, nasty.
2) out of the box for the morning, I'd not seek it out, but it's pretty much a non-issue
3) it makes a nice lather ...
4) ... but I really don't see what everyone's on about. I don't find it any noticeably better than HBS or Proraso in that regard
5) I don't think it likes my skin -- my cheeks have been kind of irritated the rest of the afternoon
Hence this post.
