    Seems like the Tabac glass jar have had a bit of a re-design.
    Which one do you prefer?

    (It has already hit Amazon)

    The only thing certain is that the old jars will now over night become collectors items :)

    Prefer the new one. I don't know why the old one just reminds me of the 80s and not in a good way.

    Not much of an update IMO.

    I think I like the older one better. the red stripe seems to be less boring and it draws my attention to it, but its the good stuff inside that counts

    Any chance for a scent reformulation as well? :D

    I like the original too. The slanted angle with the red stripe is a bit 'devil may care', while the new one is a bit stodgy, militaristic, and has no personality.

    I should state that my puck lives in a blank aluminum can :)

    I own the stick! But I don't really mind either design.

    I prefer the new design. It's rare for a company to "retro" their label, and this new version oozes vintage charm. Since the brand started in 1959, this is (I think), the third logo change. The original lacked the red stripe.

    I prefer the old. I like the slanted lettering and the red flash below the name.

    I don't really see huge differences. I like both.

    I have the old design and it works fine for me. The new one is not such a big change to me. I wonder if they sell lids separately? :)

    I've just run out and then re purchased more aftershave and deo stick. Both new type. Being a bit retro I suppose I would say I prefer the old. The problem I have, is the aftershave lotion only has a splash. And I always preferred the spray. But hey ho.

    Leave the scent the way it is and change the A/S scent to that of the soap.

    Ok, now they ruined the soap for me.

    Was honestly expecting a big change, like a new container. :)

    Anyhow, new design it's better. Cleaner, more powerful, better suited for an German soap.
