A big Hello to all rum lovers...

My name is Marek Hanel, I am a Canadian working presently in Venezuela.

I fell in Love with Rum couple years ago during a year I spent in Guadeloupe and it became my drink of choice.

Presently, I am able to consume and buy quality rum at great value in this fine country and I was wondering if anyone from Canada (Toronto or Montreal) would like to trade ( I am always looking to expend my collection!!) some bottles for some venezuelan quality Rum i.e. Ron Pampero Anniversario, Santa Teresa 1796, Santa Teresa Bicentenario, Cacique Antigo/Millenium and others. when I come back in February?

If anyone is interested, lets get in touch....

Marek, although I'm not a Canadian, I say welcome, fellow rummy!

Welcome to the forum . Its good to have someone who is actualy working

in a rum producing country.and maybe gets a chance to find that countries

better rums and gets to enjoy them.

Yes I would like to discuss a trade,unfortunately I dont have any unopened

bottles that I could trade,at the moment.

But I would like to discuss a trade for genuine 100% Canadian Loonies.and trade

at equal valve cost, for a bottle or two of top venezuelan rum. You have got me

interested and I am looking up my research files for what I can find is available.

Going by your list, have you come across any "supreme premium" rums that do not

get advertised. ie, "Estate Reserve" rums. or any small distilleries/blenders that

produce extra aged or extra special rums.

Do you have an email address that we can discuss this further. I would be

interested in following this through.and arranging to meet you somewhere in

Toronto in February.

Dan Smith in Montreal also might be interested ( Egullet forum member).

He does quite a lot of traveling and returns with good rums,from his adventures,

but I dont know if he has ever got to Venezuela.

I have been looking for your reply with not much luck. I hope the riots are not alltering your plans as to when you return to Toronto in Febuary.

Check your Email for another letter.

Still looking to purchasing some fine Venezuela Rums. If the price is right.
