Jamaican and Barbadian rum is the best, in my opinion; but Flor de Cana is pretty great (it is also not sweetened, unlike the Spanish style rums).
I loved the coffee discussion. I wonder from which region in Colombia Julio sources these “green” beans.

I also want to add that the Oliva factory and especially their new pre-industry processing center (where the Puro Sabor final night event was held) were the most impressive factory I visited at Puro Sabor. ASP Enterprises farm tour was my favorite, but the Oliva tour is unbelievable. Oliva from cigarpage.com is the best value in the cigar industry. Bar none. Oliva’s fermentation operation is something you have to see with your own eyes (and smell for yourself).

Finally, Julio’s answer about smoking a cigar in Colombia really hit home with me. Smoking a cigar in Anapoima, Colombia, in a country home overlooking a river and the Andes and hearing birds – it was magical. What a great interview.
I’ve got to agree with you, Coop, about the coolness of smoking a cigar on an airplane. It would make long flights much more enjoyable.
