Bruce, I too, thought Bacardi was rum until 2000, when a Swiss friend introduced me to El Ron de Cuba As a substitute, I like: La Flor De Caña ® Rums - Slow-aged for an incredibly smooth taste. Brugal Rum & Appleton's

17 more days were gonna have the main get toogther the 2d weekend (August 13-15) & a mini-herf weekend August 6-8

Will have to give this a try. The other NO rums were :puke:

I agree that Flor De Caña ® Rums - Slow-aged for an incredibly smooth taste. www.flordecana.com compare with Brugal.

While still prefer HC7 or Varadero 7, Brugal Rums are a very good substitute, as well as Flor De Caña ® Rums.

When you wrap your lips around some CUBAN rum, you'll be truly drawn toward the darkside.

Welcome, Bill! Love military history, myself; Cuban Cigars & Rum, AR15s, College Football, College Baseball.

Welcome, sorry I can't help in your search.

Nice article, thanks. There's another one, too: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/busin...day/8288349.htm

http://www.flordecana.com/ The 4 & 5 year olds are nice, too.

Here's some links to photos of a coupla past Floridays: http://galleries.cigarweekly.com/mannish/CIGARS-FOLKS http://galleries.cigarweekly.com/eeblum/Floridays-Herf-2003

Not to worry, we won't hang out on the beach the whole time, will have lots of umbrellas & sunscreen; plus balconies at the hotel. Perhaps you'll want to hook up with us for an evening of dining? Will let you know when we get the details hammered out. Lots of people will just come for one of the weekends.

robyn, this is where we hang out on the beach, smoke cigars, drink rum & eat seafood not everyone there smokes cigars; or smokes @ all kinda of a 9 day Beach Party for Adults; you're welcome to come & not smoke, but thought it fair to warn people that most of us will be smokin' fine cigars

Bacardi Añejo is made in Mexico, and it's a pretty good rum, for what you can buy at home.

Buy Cuban Rum, instead

I, too, like Brugal White, it's good & inexpensive.

That's pretty strong, Varadero is only 38%, iIrc.

http://www.dtcuba.com/eng/buscar_reportajes.asp?cod=115 Cuban rum, with its characteristic seal and unique flavor for those who enjoy it, also takes a privileged position in the many cocktails that include that drink as a key element for the most relevant blends...
