No where on the label does it say "spiced" and it doesn't taste like any of the other spiced rums I've tried.

Other than that, I have smoked a couple of different cigars with it and find that it does overpower the medium body cigars I like.
It's not a spiced rum mac. I don't know how that got into the thread, I think it was just a suggestion someone threw in.

I don't find the vanilla overpowering either. In fact, the strong vanilla notes are part of what makes me enjoy it so much. But to each his own. And I haven't found a cigar that doesn't pair nicely with it.
