What do you think of this company's products? I see a tub of Cognac & Cuban Cigars on Amazon for $16.
Sorry Bruce for the delay. Honestly I have three soaps and matching AS or balm and they are really good. Lather easily, scent strength is good and worth the coin. However, I have never had any skin irritation issues but some folks have. So if you can get some sample sure. If you want brother I’ll send you some!

When it rains it pours isn’t just an old adage it is the truth. Stay safe Cadte and keep your loved ones close or if you can’t, call them up or email them to check in. Trying times are usually put at ease momentarily by the warmth of a familiar voice on the phone, face at the window or funny quip in an email.

As near as I can tell, this is a vetiver? Intriguing regardless. Stay safe, Ed.
I don't quite smell a distinctive Vetiver note but sometimes my beak doesn't know what it is sniffin. Spiciness of pink peppercorn and the brightness of pettigrain. Upon lathering, the citrus notes open up and you are left with a perfect balance of citrus and spice. So it is a muted homage to Hermes Terre D'Hermes and that is why I throw that scent on as the capper to the shave. CBL Orange Dirt is the same, same concept I have been told. It is good stuff Bruce that is all I know and Canadian! SO a good smelling victory for the Canucks!

Stay safe Brother!
