The diplomatico is on my radar for my next rum purchase after seeing a few others here enjoy it.
I’d say that’s a good cigar/rum pairing. Let us know how it goes!

I might be biased here but ED12 is top shelf.
OK don't do many of these but let me give it a shot
Oliva Series V robusto
first 1/3 pepper very flavorful leather and sweetness appear toward end of first third
2/3 pepper and complexity ramp up very nice smoke
3/3 pepper and a bit of cedar consistent bit of harshness builds
Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva
Very dark brown with red tinge
nose rum raisin ice cream is obvious, bit of banana, sweet
Palate lots of chocolate very obvious, some exotic fruit, almost too sweet, very flavorful (thick) rum
Finish touch of orange, dark chocolate and vanilla cream
with the Oliva sweet and chocolate goes through the roof, vanilla cream enhanced, very rich pepper in cigar muted
with the final 1/3 of cigar cream very strong, vanilla complementary flavors
El Dorado 12
Dark gold color with slight red tint
nose caramel
taste sweet chocolate and caramel but not as strong as with the Diplomatico
thick lush mouth feel very long pleasant finish
with the Oliva caramel stands out cigar goes kind of flat loosing it's pepper zing
with the final 1/3 of the cigar becomes very smooth, chocolate predominates, caramel cigar still flat just a touch harsh
Clermont VSOP
very light gold pale yellow
nose very light a bit of vanilla
taste herbal and fruit subtle flavors compared to others
finish long and smooth combination of many flavors still very subtle
with Oliva still very easy going flavors Sage? appears
with the final 1/3 of cigar heat builds with alcohol burn appearing, sage very little pepper left in cigar harshness more obvious
