    I had similar on a couple and gave them away.

    There are too many that I really liked to use something that wasn't making it.

    The 2 you mention never went past sample size for me. Some people love them.

    Haverford A.S. just got a Stoylin Tony nomination. There will be 5 more Nomination Days throughout the year-plenty of time for me to think about Hav.

    I see that Stirling just added four more scents to the line!
    I've been working through their Bay Rum and a sample of Exec. Man, which I really enjoy.
    Anyone thinking of purchasing one of the new scents?

    I think the new ones are women's scents.

    I only read the description for the Evie scent. But, I don't really care as long as they smell good. Well, maybe a little :)

    One that is considered unisex that is dropping out of the lineup is Tuscany.

    I have always liked it and so did one of my daughters. I bought inventory for us both.

    I'll probably get some of the bath soaps for her to try.

    A question for a couple ya'll who like me, went from WSP products to Stirling (or anybody else familiar):
    How do the tobacco soaps and scents compare? WSP tobacco was my very favorite from WSP. Also liked Tobacco Vanilla. Quite different scents though. The Tobacco comes across as almost pure tobacco flower/leaf scent, whereas Tobacco Vanilla has a good amount of vanilla to it. Where does Stirling Gentleman, The Lounge, and Halverford fit in? I'm assuming I'd like either Stirling Gentleman or The Lounge the best. What can you tell me?

    The Lounge was green tobacco. Very green and verdant. It smells a lot like Zi'Peppino from RazoRock.

    Gentleman is a unique blend but the tobacco isn't as prominent as you may want.

    Haverford is a sweeter scent with a good bit of vanilla.

    Those three scents are very different from each other, in my opinion. I have Gentleman now in the soap. I had The Lounge at one point but sold it and also had a Haverford set and sold it because it was a little sweet for my taste.

    Jeeves of Hudson Street's Tobacco Bay Leaf is very similar to WSP Tobacco, for what it's worth.

    Hey thanks Perry. That's a good synopsis.
