With views of the town, the city as well as the Potomac and nearby Arlington, smokers received a complimentary, hand-rolled cigars, courtesy of co-hosts, Cortez Cigars, to pair with the bold rums, such as Atlantico, Chairman’s Reserve and Papa’s Pilar, along with Rum punch cocktails.

Other Rum Day D.C. events included the Rum Runner bus which took patrons to taste rum cocktails at some of the city’s hottest restaurants and the Rum-B-Que held at Blind Whino and featuring DCity Smokehouse.
