Don Q

[mpurtle01]

Well my on post class VI (liquor store) here in Germany got a little stock of something new we haven't had before, and I've never had.  A Puerto Rican original.  Picked one of these up for the long 4 day weekend!    Also never had rum with my smokes.

Looks very fancy! Never seen that one before, but I really enjoy good rum with a cigar. Enjoy!!

[akira]

Snazzy!  Never seen that one before, but I hope it drinks as well as it looks.

[mpurtle01]

Oh, it is very nice!

[NES Tek]

Looks pretty fancy!

Let us know how it is.

I'm not usually a rum drinker but I'd try that.  Nice!

[Longhorn]

Very nice - you'll have to post which cigar you matched with it...  

[mpurtle01]

Actually, drinking it now with a Liga Privada T52 Robusto...  this stuff is very nice and smooth...  much like the cigar, but they go together well.

i normally pair rum with my monte 4's or other cuban cigars. Just a thought if u have any cubans.

[mpurtle01]

I have one, and here in Germany have access to just about any of them.   Just not really sure they are much better than what we have access to stateside.  This drink is definitely nothing I would mix with anything other than ice or a little water.  yum!

[mpurtle01]

Anybody ever get a taste of fire burned marshmallows in a cigar?  I'm getting that out of this T52...  not sure if it's the mix with the rum or what, but very unique.  Delicious I'd say.

Is VERY good rum! CSM buddy of mine got a bottle as a retirement gift and we cracked it and downed a few. And yes the sugars and spices in drinks can enhance and blend with a lot of your cigar's flavors to make some very tasty combos.

Not just a matter of better (many of them are better though) but different try pairing the Don Q with just about any of the Monte's or a Vegas Robaina Clasicos

I think you made a wise choice Matt. I recently toured the Don Lucas cigar factory in the Dominican Republic. After the tour we sat down with our guide and enjoyed a nice 15 year old rum with the cigars he gave us. Rum and Gars go very well together.

[mpurtle01]

I gotta say, the Don Q Gran Anejo is amazing!  If you have not tried it yet with some nice cigars you have GOT to give it a shot...  at least once.  If you try it and you don't like it....  I will mail you a dog rocket!    I'm just sayin.  It's really that good!

This sure make me envy now

[ntanner]

I bought a bottle of that too, from the Class VI here in Korea.  Nice that they have an upper shelf rum available now.

[tvolball]

I have never had liquor with a cigar. I look forward to trying some

[toby2]

I have a lodge brother from there and that's his drink. he says they clear drains with Bacardi.

Looks like I may have to stop by the Class VI on Carson along the way to the cabin for new years!

Looks great!  Rum is one of my three favorite alcoholic pairings with cigars (bourbon and scotch being the other two).
