I recently received Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars. When I got it, I was disappointed because the scent is very subtle compared to my other soaps. I was taking a chance because I prefer tallow soaps, but this one does not disappoint at all. Waved my brush over the soap and lather exploded (similar to the ease at which MdC lathers). The shave was smooth and slick. I think I'm becoming a fan of vegetal soaps.
