While Pure Havane doesn't smell at all like straight tobacco or cigars a la Cuba Red, a tobacco product it does smell uncanilly like is shisha. If you like to smoke hookah, you owe it to yourself...
Maybe this was created as a practical joke. My wife thought it might be made for pre-teens who have not yet reached puberty but want to smell like they have. This was the worst smelling cologne...

Just to give a thanks to Heperd, VIW received today in the UK. 14 days not too bad for snail mail from US. Excellently packaged and 'sensibly' packed as not to attract import tax . Juice smells great, thanks Heperd!
Sir....this is my first purchase of Aventus, as I have had a few samples from my local Nordstroms. This batch seems to have a little more pepper than I remember the samples having. Still smells great though and the longevity is still there. This is one of my favorites.

Actually, not pepper, but smoke. More smokey than the samples I had.
Thanks muddy. I've heard, for the most part, that the 2012 batches have been very similar to last years. Can't wait to smell for myself! Certainly a great, unique fragrance.
