I hate to bring up a year and half old subject. BBUUUUUUTT, I decided to search TC for Montecristo rum. I found this thread. I also found Montecristo in the fancy carpeted grocery store in town.

I gotta say.........IT AIN'T THAT GOOD. I am not a pro alcoholic yet, no offense to any old pros out there, recovering or not. And I am not knowledgeable in the complexities of flavors lingerin' on the back of the tongue. I do know when an alcohol burns with little flavor though. This Monetecristo 12 year rum does just that.

Scotch is something I can let set in my mouth for hours and wonder where waters flowed fro and to to make such loveliness. Anyways...

I have to say "foul" when it come to Montecristo rum. I personally think it is an embarrassment to the fake Montecristo cigars manufactured in Mexico to be associated with a rum that has the name that they are using illegitimately.
I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE MONTE TASTES THE WAY IT DOES. Wish I did.

I am a cigar smoker. Legal red dot Montes, legal fake yellow black band Montes and the ones that may or may not be one or the other with out actually saying that they are legal or not legal and at the same time trying to make it difficult to understand if I am saying that they may or may not be legal or or illegal as I wouldn't actually know the differance. 15 minutes from the border and all. I WAS a cigar wholesaler and not a liquor wholesaler. Why, oh why not a liquor wholesaler!!!

I would be embarrassed to serve Monte rum to anyone in the cigar industry that smokes Monte cigars or sells them.

Yep. Raining on the Monte parade.

Mr NoNaMe-Go pick up a bottle of Zaya 12 year old (from Guatemala.) You can be proud to serve it to the snootiest of cigar friends! Enjoy!
