A lot of people will recommend Captain's Choice. It's the only Bay Rum I've tried though. It's very nice with a strong clove component. It is not hard though. Ogallala might be a harder puck.
My favourite is Dr Jon’s Anne Bonny. It’s my favourite scent of all time. It’s very sweet and I believe contains no clove at all. I wouldn’t say it’s a hard puck though. Like @borwish memtioned, Ogallala has many variations on bay rum
Thanks guys for the recommendations! I like a bit of clove (though not a ton). Also I guess I’m not too married to the hard milled soap, just that I’ve only tried those and creams but nothing in between. I ended up buying a sample of stirling as I wanted to try some of their other scents too. Figured for $3.25 its worth a shot.
