Rushman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Closing out the middle of the week. Smoked a HU C#1 at lcdh late afternoon after some meetings. Now on the terrace on a cool evening with a Boli PC and some Zacapa. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLB03TT Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Zacapa, Centenario 20, Pillar, Kaniche, Plantation 20 to name a few. I have a rum with my CC almost every evening. By far, my favorite pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImTripN2 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 My idea of a pleasant afternoon. Mojito with Havana Club Blanco and a HdM Corona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Agreed! oh please. spare me. j'accuse! you had bitters in diet lemonade again yesterday, which is so (not that there is anything wrong with that) with two terrific-ish cigars yesterday. when the rum on offer, and refused by you, was havana club 15 year old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napa_Smokes Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Sounds like a great afternoon/evening. Can't wait till Sunday so I can do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madandana Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I was not much of a straight rum drinker until you introduced me to Zacapa and I tried alot of others in Cuba. When I returned I tried some Zaya while in Chicago and since have picked up some Mount *** 1720. I now drink rum when I can as I smoke. For me it clenses the palat and brings out the flavor of the cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dflan82 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I am definitely looking at expanding my cigar/booze pairings into the Rum arena. Thanks for the suggestions. Anyone ever try Zafra (aged in American bourbon whiskey barrels)? Seems like it would pair well with cigars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Cancun was fun. Just did a long weekend so we stayed at the resort. Toyed with the idea of buzzing down to Playa to see Laura but just didn't have the time. Have fun in Playa. Wish we were going there. Were off to Costa Rica next Sat.....Wish it was Playa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merc Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Never tried Zacapa, I usually only have rum in "old fashioned" cocktails. How do you guys normally drink it? Neat, on the rocks, or mixed with something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I prefer darker rums neat or with perhaps one cube of ice, just like I drink scotch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merc Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks Rushman. I'll give it a go, possibly tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madandana Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I perfer it neat but right out of the freezer (or off the cold porch). If it's not cold then i'll put one ice cube in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophistic Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 zacapa 23 is great but pampero aniversario is at least as good, and that for 1/2 the price, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLB03TT Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I like my dark rum with one large (1 inch square) ice cube in a small Old Fashioned glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagermeister Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Recently started exploring rum as a sipping drink myself (was always a bourbon or scotch guy myself). So far I've tried Zaya (like) and Zacapa 23 (love). I'll have to see if the liquor store has pampero aniversario next time I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
