Wow, I never thought of looking for Cuban rum on Ebay. Great find! I think it is worth the price even if the same bottle sells for half that in Mexico.

My opinion is that no rum is too good for a Mai Tai! It's fine to use good rum because a proper Mai Tai is all about letting the rum flavor come through by not overdoing the other ingredients. And you should make it with fresh lime and the best orange curacao and orgeat you can find.
