A mix that works

    60% Stephan's Bay Rum
    30% Avon Spicy
    10% O.S. Sensitive (or something similar for moisture but is not absolutely necessary)

    It smells great; ends up a deeper, darker version of O.S. but still recognizable as in the family. I suspect the idea will work better with a more potent BR since Stephan's is at the mildest end of the spectrum (so it doesn't take much Spicy to overpower it).

    Edit

    Poured some off, added about 10% of good Avon Oland. It calmed down the Spicy's brightness with some smokiness that sits just right.

    I'm glad to see you used Stephan B.R. in the "mix".

    Is Stephan's heavy in cloves? Some BR go overboard with the clove.

    It's one of the few that has zero clove, which is why it's my favorite.
