I really enjoy it!
If you have smelied Pinauds version, CO Bigelow is warmer. To my nose at least. Spice and clove still there, just not as sharp. Somewhat heavier/muskier/thicker.
Where as Pinauds I use as an aftershave/bodysplash, I use CO Bigelow's Bay Rum as a cologne.
Hope that helps.

It was my 1st bay rum and I love it. I can't wear it with a hangover, but that goes for any bayrum.
I picked up a bunch of the ASB at an outlet a few weeks back, and I've been calling a few times a week to see if they get anymore stuff in.

I really like it, too. I have both the balm and the cologne, and plan on re-ordering when I run out.
It's a spicier type of bay rum, with a balsam/cedar opening scent, but overall I'd describe it as a warm spice. The balm is similar, and has a noted orange scent to it. The bottles are really "old school;" brown glass with ridges, and labels that resemble old parchment. I think you'll like it.

This was my first Bay rum also, and is still my favorite. (besides my own)
The balm is very soothing, and the scent is really good, warmer than Master, with some nice subtle spices.

For those thinking about buying some, do it soon. It's been discontinued.
I think it's still on their website at full price, and it's at their flagship stores at full price (for what they have left), but it's been showing up at the outlet locations.
