I recently discovered Ron Matusalem Gran Reserva 15 rum. It is made in the Dominican using an old Cuban recipe and technique. And, as the good Lord said on the seventh day, "it is good." For my palate, I find it pairs best with Habano and Corojo, but it works well with almost any decent cigar. I sip the rum neat, because it would be every kind of wrong to pollute it with soda. Matusalem also makes a Gran Reserva 18, but I haven't tried that yet. If you love rum and you want to try something special, this is one I would highly recommended.
