Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it experience with Chicago High. It's a divisive beast of champagne, pineapples, honeyed tobacco, and animalic leather, delivering a boozy, smoky punch that some find utterly captivating and others utterly repulsive.
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.
