Diplomatica Reserva Exclusiva and Don Pepin

[Spinner]

First of all thanks Cigar geeks, you steered me in the right direction.

So, I am a rum lover. Some may regard rum as second string to Whiskey/Whisky but a fine rum stands in a class of it's own.

The fine rum tonight was the 12 year old Diplomatica Reserva Exclusiva. I smoked a Don Pepin, My Fathers Le Bijou Petit Robusto this evening and had the choice between a El Dorado 21year and the DRE I chose the DRE. I'm glad I did.

 The pair combined beautifully flavours mingling and merging to create one of those moments when one says to themselves 'life doesn't get much better than this'.

Highly recommended.

Hey Big TA, 12 year Zaya is one of the best. Give the Diplomatico a try it's very special and would match well with any full body cigar you have. I have the El Dorado 21 year is a very very special rum although with it's smoky finish it would match well with a medium cigar I think. I plan to light up a Ashton VSG Robusto with that tomorrow so will see how they pair.

Have you tried the top of the range rum? Honestly not being an arse just wondering if your opinion on rum is formed from the bottle shop garbage

I'm glad you agree as your experience is better than mine.
