I thought this was interesting. It seems like most cigar EVENTS have Scotch as the beverage of choice, I'm glad to see at least one picking rum!

I don't smoke but this is great to see. Products from a given region are often best paired with products from the same region. When Im eating bratwurst and sauerkraut I am not drinking a daiquiri. When people are drinking french wine they are eating cheese, not tacos. I like to pair rum up with chocolate and since cigars are from the same region, its nice to see it paired up with rum instead of scotch.

Depending on your preference the Camacho Connecticut and Corojo are both good smokes, so is the Triple Maduro. Sure to go well with that Matusalem!

This can only be good for the rum market.

Ed: I have been trying to foster a connection between these two superior products for the past six months. Hatuey is a family owned business since 1932, originally from Cuba. They create an exceptional smoke at very competitive prices, their very best is only about $12 bucks!!! And of course Vizcaya or is that Ric, speaks for himself. Could be a marriage made in heaven. Let's do get to the bottom of that agricole question or story, though I think it will hardly impact on the beauty of the product either way.

These two looks very nice too. Maybe they have a sampler, because I feel the need to try them all. :D
