I did have the PSD4 and it was just awesome, thanks Lew. Timing was great for this gem. Great food, rum, friends and a warm evening to enjoy. That's what it's all about!
Hot + humid = mojito in my book. I need something with a lot of ice to keep my comfortable. Maybe not so good to match with a cigar though. I can see the CSB working pretty well since it's flavorful, but still fairly light at the same time. Might have to try that tonight, it was 85 degrees at 7am this morning, I don't want to imagine what it'll be later.
Excellent! I was a bit concerned because I have just a few left but I haven't had one myself in a year or so. I was hoping they had retained all their flavor. It sounds like they have.
I'll enjoy the next one for you! I've been out of Monte 2s for over a year. Have to remedy that at some point. It's good to be back in the hunt and smoking more regularly. What a great pleasure and reward it is.
Score! 
Was down in Fredericksburg today waiting to pick up a steel order - which wasn't quite ready - when I noticed an ABC store close by so I stopped in just to see what they had - and there on the shelf sat two bottles of Zaya.
Can we say MINE -
After casually looking for the past year or so, finally!
Looking forward to popping one of them open this weekend - :ss

Just bought some Zaya yesterday after stopping in a local store and seeing some. Couldn't pass it up. Tried a bit of it today, and really enjoyed it. I think your taste buds are in for a surprise. Sweet, complex, and really smooth. It has so many layers of taste. I'm hoping my bottle will last me at least a little while...
Score!

Damnit! My brother in law lives in Frederickburg, I asked him to check the ABC for me a few weeks ago and he said they were all out.
Congrats on your find!Great to hear there is still some Zaya out there for those lucky enough to find the remaining stock. If you haven't tried it yet, snag a bottle if you can. You will be glad you did.
I already have my 'stash' but would not hesitate to add another bottle if I see one available.
If you just got your first bottle, let us know your impressions.

That's what I used the cruzan for.......
I second the use of Cruzan. Their 2yr (now 14 mo) light can't be beat for the price, imo. Try a rum tonic and lime with the Cruzan light. Very tasty...

CSB mojito? You've got my attention, that sounds delicious. I just polished off a 750mL Dogfish Head beer, time for mojito!
Yes sir and on suggestion from another board I sub Ginger ale for Club soda
VEEERRRRYYYY Tasty!
Now there's an idea. With the ginger ale I'll bet you can ditch the sugar/simple syrup and still get a little sweetness.
Turns out I must have polished off my CSB awhile back and never replaced it. I settled for El Dorado 15 w/ the 5 Vegas Limitada you sent me. Believe it or not that cigar pairs very nicely with raw cookie dough and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies

Luck of the Irish (finally) in finding those. I'm going to keep looking and if I find anymore I'll snatch it up and PM you in case you are still looking. Funny thing is that it seems every store just keeps what they want to on the shelfs. That store mainly had Bacardi and Morgan - very small inventory I would say.

Had some of that two nights ago. So much vanilla flavor it almost tastes artificial, but I love it! I'll bet that'd be good to use for rum balls.... might be time to whip up a batch...
You have an awesome wife! Nice to come home to two bottles of Zaya. I went to my local Vons yesterday where they usually had plenty. All gone. Like it was never there.
