Locals told me unanimously that this is the rum they prefer to drink - not Havana Club. Their 11-year rum was described as being a particularly good spirit and was priced around $40 a bottle in Cuba. Their silver rum was about $3.60 a bottle. These prices do not include the 10% tax you are forced to pay on US dollars at the currency exchanges when you convert your USDs to CUCs. Avoid this tax by bringing Canadian dollars or Euros. At this time there is no limit to how much rum or cigars you personally hand-carry into the US. Bring extra clothes to pack your bottles. Also consider bringing larger (or extra) suit cases.
