I picked up 2 bottles of the Havava Club 7 on a recent trip to Canada. I have tried it in a Bali Hai Mai Tai, but think that drink does benefit from something darker and more dominating like the Meyer's Dark. Worked fine in a Cuba Libre, but even with a Mexican (cane sugar) coke it probably was a little bit of a waste of a fine rum.

Sipping it neat is mighty fine and highly recommended. On the rocks as well.

Have yet to try it in a traditonal Mai Tai since my mint sprouts are only half inch bonsai sprouts at this writing.

FYI in Canada the Havana Club was $31C or about $25 US per bottle. What was it in Mexico? Don't know how the Canadians survive, at the same store a six pack of PBR was $13.75C! Thank goodness I brought my own beverages from the states or my ski trip would have been much more expensive!
