found myself in Costco today, bought and poured a nice amount of the 1.75 of Kirkland Spiced Rum (I never drink spiced rum), but it was $15.
92 proof, primarily rum and vanilla flavors, seems to be stuff that would pair with most cigars.

Ready for a nap!

Copy that.

Out of the Ron Abuelo 12 Anos. Digging the 7 anos more, currently. As you'd expect, not as smooth, more of a bite, in a good way though. Wish Rum was more popular. It seemed to be more en vogue a few years ago, but now it seems to have fizzled again. Still a few fans out there though, Bought a bottle of Zacapa XO a while back, and the guy at the Spirits Shoppe almost refused to sell it to me because I joked that I was going to mix it with coke. He was seriously offended. lol

That's my biggest issue with rum and cigars, to be honest. Not always a great pairing, but I really just can't get excited about many bourbons, and I haven't tried enough good brandy to even offer an opinion on that. I think rum gets overlooked as a cigar companion, which is odd, because it seems like they came into prevalence in European society around the same time... I like it with something dark and bold, for sure. Oliva V gets mentioned with Rum quite often, and it is one of my favorites, but I am going to have to experiment a bit more. I'm sure I can find something I like at least as much. Last one I dipped in rum was a Cu-Avana Intenso. Interesting.

Myers Dark Rum with some ginger ale

Not a very good mix with a cigar. Wasn't bad but won't pair that combo with a smoke again.
