"The Lounge" must be like that "Tobacco Lounge"(I think it was called that)that I purchased from that now defunct co. in California. Worst purchase I ever made on here. Stoylin Gentleman's tobacco, is indeed better. (By the way, I just took the liberty of explaining to our new friend Jayjacque about "Stoylin".)
I think that's what happened with me too....I wanted to like it, but my skin had something to say about that.
Luckily I still have a fair amount of tobacco product left over from WSP, so no urgency. If I see the Lounge however make a return, prob won't be able to resist.
As I mentioned, RazoRock Zi'Peppino smelled exactly like The Lounge, so you could get it if it doesn't make an appearance again at Stirling.
