Which Should You Buy?
This is a love-it-or-hate-it tobacco scent, no two ways about it. If you're into syrupy, fruity honey and rich pipe tobacco, this will be your new obsession. But if you're not, prepare for an overwhelming, almost cloying experience.
A divisive yet highly acclaimed sweet tobacco bomb, Maison Alhambra's Tabac (now 'Smoky') is a beastly performer that's either a budget masterpiece or a headache in a bottle, depending on your nose and patience.
