What do reviewers say about The Blazing Mr Sam and Beat Cafe?
The Blazing Mister Sam is not subtle, and it knows it. The spice load up front is significant, making this a cold-weather essential. The tobacco and vanilla in the base rescue things from pure.The Blazing Mr Sam
The folk-rock formula works because it refuses to choose between swagger and intimacy. Tobacco and cognac are natural partners, both warm, both assertive, both a little smoky.Beat Cafe
