Sorry if this has already been a thread, anyone ever tried this stuff? Enquiring minds want to know!

I've gotten a sample from them a long time ago, but I honestly don't remember a lot about it. I don't think I was very impressed. You might try emailing them for a sample.

Gotta love the Internets!

I am nearing the end of my first puck of Amber. The scent is great. I just got a puck of Col. Conk Bay Rum, of the two I prefer the Amber.

Ahh interesting. I was looking at the AS, I didn't realize they also made an amber puck.

All of their soaps have a matching AS and vice versa, though they may not smell exactly the same as their counterpart.

I received a sample from them a while back. I wasn't overly impressed. The amber smells fine, but is very weak and has no staying power. Not worth the $20.00 for the bottle.

Did you get the sample straight from them or from a retailer? I was a googlin' around and couldn't find a straight line to the Colonel himself.

I got them straight from the company. I can't remember where I found their e-mail address, but once you find it all you have to do is e-mail them and request samples. They will graciously send them to you. I did have a problem though. One of the vials of the after shave had been broken during shipment. They mailed them in an envelope with no padding at all. I commented about it on this forum and several other members said that the same thing had happened to them. Good luck!
