I don't think they have any countries that have helped with hurricane relief and haven't heard any news how they are doing after the hurricane so please give us an update!

well just got back from cuba
had a blast
tasted some great rum
santiago de cuba is my favorite.
but i thought as i tasted that my rum seemed heavier
more like jamaican rum
so i did a little research and came up with this

i did carbon filter 500 ml of some i had on oak since june and i will say WOW.
lightened things up alot.i like it
i added 2 tsp of caramelized sugar to the jar and omg was it good
think i found my recipe

Thanks for the article link Duke- headed to Cuba next month. Had to check out my bottle of Havana Club- it is the Puerto Rican version. I enjoyed it, regardless. We will see what I can discover there.

Cruise ship, stopping in Havana - unfortunately only 1 day in Cuba. We will be in the Bahamas several days too. Doing my research beforehand!
