The gold rums mentioned are going to be just as unlike Pusser's in taste as Black Strap is, just in a different way (too mellow). The original poster is looking for inexpensive rums (say around $10) and Appleton Estate isn't really inexpensive (at around $20-25). I think a full-bodied brown rum may be the best substitute. One of the best deals is Bacardi Select at only around $15 a bottle. http://www.internetwines.com/mb1240084.html
