Queen Charlotte Cubano Breeze, sorry but it is no longer made

Tcheon Fung Sing Tabacco Verde, weak at best

Go to the Van Yulay site she has several tobacco soaps
Ah, Vay Yular, you don't hear much about them anymore but I still roll out Bay of Roses and Bay Rum regularly.  I'll check out their tobacco offerings.  I've long wondered about the Henri et Victoria soaps, are they a decent base?
The last time I spoke with her she said her and her husband were moving to Texas.  So, the site could be temporally down.  But she make a lot of soap and different formulas.

You probably should give El Jefe a try then. 30 day money back guarantee. You don’t like, you don’t get stuck.

I was afraid to even use it in the shower as I have a few other soaps. Even if I had been able to tolerate the clove, I still would have not used the soap as it was hard to lather, lacked slickness, and lacked cushion. I am glad it was an inexpensive soap.

I ended up using it as a hand soap, just because it didn't work very well as a shave soap. Love the BR & Sandalwood scent, though.

A truly great tobacco scent is CrowneAndCrane Tobacco Leaf and Amber.

The scent is a bit sweet for me, but it's a really excellent soap. I have the older vegan base, seems they've switched over to tallow since I bought it.

Yet to get in my hands but I am sure I am going to enjoy it. You might like Herod as a matching perfume to go along.

Another scent in soap that I like is Mystic waters Sweet Briar which is little sweeter.

I REALLY love this scent.  So much so that I bought a full bottle (You can find it way cheaper on than retail discount sites and FB groups).  I'll have to check out that soap also I guess *sigh* and here I thought I was done buying soap.

I lathered and used the Henri and Victoria Cognac and Cubans sample that I had - its an ample sample and I reckon I could get 15-20 shaves out of it.  It lathered very nicely.  I think that pretty much every soap maker has got the lathering down - whether its slick enough is another matter.  This one had a rich slick lather that smelled very nicely and gave me a three pass shave.  If I were to nit pick, and I am because its what we do, I found that it gave me a mild irritation while shaving.  I think its whatever fragrance is used for the cognac scent because I've had that sensation once before with B&M Fireside - mild burn.  

I also got the WSP Tobacco and it has a nice scent, not crazy about the small diameter tin.

I have the triple milled tallow version on the way. I'll let you know what I think
