Dalli owned Dreiring and owns Tabac. I think another company bought Dreiring in the meantime. I am not 100% sure...
AFAIK, Dreiring was last owned by the (now defunct) Kappus Group, and I don't believe Tabac was ever made at the Krefeld (Dreiring) factory.
By the by, per the packaging, Fine was made in the Netherlands.

Fine was initially made in Holland. It was eventually made in Germany. Here is the info on Dreiring. You might be right about Tabac not being made in that factory..
I get psoriosis and a lot of scents irritate my skin never had a problem with tabac.YMMV
That would make sense.
Wondering whether there's a Fine packaging with "Made in Germany".
Although the Kappus Group declared insolvency (related to the Dreiring shutdown), per kappus.com (2020):
"acquisition of the Riesa and Heitersheim sites by the Ad_Astra investor group" and
"renaming to KAPPUS GmbH."

Never really understood the hatred of the scent. It’s very mild and just soapy to me with a light floral note. No biggie, I’ve never found it a strong scent or anything to be offended by it’s quite light. And the shave is excellent.
Usually price per gram is cheaper on stick. Also sometimes one can be on sale while the other is not.
Go for it mate, worth every penny. I pretty much know what few soaps I'll keep in my rotation once Im done with all my extra soaps and Tabac will be one of them along with MDC and few others.
My first love for Tabac started when I walked in to an antique shop and picked up a Tabac stick which was "made in west Germany" and had a strong tabac scent. This was sometime in 2006.
Even today I rarely use it to preserve it like a sevenier and use the modern soap. However it has the same strong scent as the day it was manufactured.
I store it in a closet drawer where its out of sunlight and moisture.
It's a hard soap, it will last for decades. Just keep it in a sealed container, like a mason jar, etc. away from excessive heat, light and moisture.
I'm not sure that freezing would be detrimental to a Tabac shave stick, but if it is, it cannot be undone by thawing.
When water is trapped in an emulsion, it can still change to a solid, or crystallise, below the freezing point. This can disrupt the molecular structure of the emulsion, possibly breaking it down. And water isn't the only ingredient that can freeze into a solid and crystallise, thus detaching itself from an emulsion.
Upon thawing, it may not behave the same or perform as well.
The water content may "sweat" out of the stick; the fats may congeal together into larger, visible particles; it may not even smell the same.
Modern soaps can be quite sophisticated. Their scents are often wholly or partially synthetically derived. Their ingredients are held in a chemically-induced suspension or emulsion, each ingredient with a role to play, some dependent upon being chemically bonded to others to work right.
Cold is generally known to retard spoilage of organic or natural ingredients, not necessarily true of chemicals or synthetics.
And changing the state of any material from gas to liquid, or from liquid to solid introduces increased uncertainty as to how that material will behave in combination or solution (chemical bonding) with others; doubly so when the process is reversed.
So, even without knowing with certainty that freezing is detrimental, I perceive the risk to be high, and thus advocate refrigeration but not freezing of colognes, after-shaves, oils, liquid-, cream-, or solid- soaps...even Cella.
Um just leave it in the package where it's tightly wrapped in that pro gold Tabac foil that locks in the freshness likely forever. You guys are way overthinking this, it's kinda cringey.
Thank you all for your responses!!

I really like Tabac. It's one of the few soaps I've rebought.
Tabac is incredible, but not an everyday kinda scent for me. Still top 5!

That’s the beauty of choice, not using something every day makes us appreciate it all the more when we do use it.
