Knize 10 for me, Lalique Encre Noir before that.

But in a good way. . .seriously. Tobacco leaf, poop, and rum. Tropical dive-bar back-alley good. Even a bit of Listerine thrown in to simulate the morning after.
Poop! Seriously, Mike??
Definitely a "fecal" note in there. It's part of the very authentic and natural tobacco leaf accord. Most C&S fragrances are characteristically a bit "edgy" to my nose and characterized by very authentic, natural smelling fragrance notes.
I have no favorites, I'm constantly rotating. I will say though from a brand standpoint, I'm enamored with Penhaligon's. Stuff is incredible from English Fern to Bayolea and everything in between-it's always on point and long lasting. Also, a big fan of St, John's for the summer months along with Tam Dao by Diptique. The Lavender by Diptique is phenominal also. So many fragrances, so little time. Constantly rotating so I don't become too immune to the fragrance and crop dust people. Never want to be that guy that bathes in it.

I disagree, Mike! Received my C&S Cuba today and I think it's great, no "fecal" note that I can detect! Also received my Truefitt & Hill Spanish Leather and Woods of Windsor, all great scents that I will be rotating as my "signature scent"!
Glad you are enjoying. I also very much like the Cuba, but the authentic wet cigar tobacco leaf note definitely has a fecal edge to my nose. But not in a bad way, if that makes any sense. Just earthy, not unlike notes from freshly turned garden soil as well.
