Hope they offer a choice otherwise a bad business policy. More Vegan friendly but no one buys it because poorer quality.As detailed on several other forums Tabac has been reformulated and is now tallow free.
The tallow and coconut has been replaced with Laurate.

Thank you Chris , I was really surprised by just how good it was , considering it is not an expensive soap. I just gotta work out what I think of that scent.That's high praise - I know you're a man that enjoys quality soaps.
You’ll warm up to it Russ. Give it some time. Performance is the key…Thank you Chris , I was really surprised by just how good it was , considering it is not an expensive soap. I just gotta work out what I think of that scent.

The Aftershave has a sweetness that you might like, RussThank you Chris , I was really surprised by just how good it was , considering it is not an expensive soap. I just gotta work out what I think of that scent.
I use the edt scent too - a guaranteed 'you smell nice' from my other half. Good sillage and longevity in my experience. You either love or hate it.- IThe Aftershave has a sweetness that you might like, Russ
Nice review of the Vegetal Tabac.My new formula Tabac arrived this morning and whilst I can't compare to the old one as I have never used it (I avoid Tallow) what I would say is that the performance of the soap is excellent , I face lathered and after a short load from the puck I had lots of very nice lather , applied to the face and then hydrated it produced a rich creamy lather , with plenty of cushion and some serious slickness.
I am not sure if I like or dislike the scent , but there is plenty of that too.
I am a massive fan of Saponificio Varesino and I would say the Tabac Matched it in all of the key areas of Slickness, Cushion , and Richness of Lather. It was maybe not as good in the post shave as S.V.
As always YMMV.
I’ve got a similar sized stash , just curious , how are you going to store yours?I'm all set for a very very very long time loving tallow Tabac and another 6 more refill pucks coming soon in the mail from my brother who also LOVES Tabac, however, my brother doesn't know I'm already stocked up.
2 travel sticks
6 refill sticks
6 refill pucks, plus 6 more comings soon in the mail (12 in total)
Over two thirds of my stash was acquired two months ago from Fragrance Direct at very favourable sale prices , well before I knew anything about the reformulation ,but, thanks for the comparison to a headless chicken , it’s appreciated.This does remind me somewhat of people rushing around supermarkets like headless chickens, with trolleys full of pasta & bog rolls...
Some dude over on another site posted an image of his Tabac refrigerator. Perhaps that’s the best approach.
Into a very dark cool place into shoe cardboard boxes directly away from sunlight and the bathroom, your soaps will last for many many years, just keep in mind by storing them in a dark cool place, because, you won't lose the scent, it takes many many years and very very slowly for a tallow soap to lose the scent by storing them into a dark cool place into shoe cardboard boxes.I’ve got a similar sized stash , just curious , how are you going to store yours?

If the end of the world arrives, then the one shaving soap you will take to the tropical island, I guess it will be 20x TabacI'm all set for a very very very long time loving tallow Tabac and another 6 more refill pucks coming soon in the mail from my brother who also LOVES Tabac, however, my brother doesn't know I'm already stocked up.
