Which Should You Buy?
A warm, spicy explosion that's a crowd-pleaser for a reason. While its many flankers might vex some, the original Spicebomb is a reliably potent, compliment-getting winter warmer that'll stand strong in any smoky bar.
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Tobacco Mandarin isn't playing subtle, it's a bold, spicy, divisive beast with a penchant for staining clothes. You'll either adore its mysterious, opulent depth or recoil from its notorious cumin note - there's no middle ground here, mate.

It leans too casual for formal events and is entirely unsuitable for sport.
