One of my favourite rum drinks is now the Cuba Libre. It's not just a rum & coke...it's a Cuba Libre: Cuban rum and Tu-Kola, a cola widely produced in Cuba. The cola has less sodium and sugar than Coke and so the rum isn't overpowered. Oh, and it helps that what appears to be a standard Cuba Libre in Cuba would be considered a double in North America. So that helps too.
I drank an average of six or so a day while I was there.
That said, the rum flows in Cuba as though it were coffee or soda, yet I don't recall seeing any spiced rum at all.
