cognac
I've re-discovered cognac over the last year.
And i got to say that it matches beutifully with a nice cigar. so in the last 2 yeard i've been building up my cognac experience and collection. I've come to really like one brand in particular, the camus brand. They make some really nice smooth cognacs. I started out with the XO which i really liked before i headed into the XR which is outstanding. Last week i splurged and got myself a bottle of the Camus Extra, which i sampled on friday. A real treat, and oh soooo smooth. This is what the trade rags write about this spirit: "Camus's Extra, in a flask-like decanter, brings together old Cognacs from Borderies, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne; it has a nose of walnuts and tobacco for a mellow, velvety taste." Anyone else out there that enjoys cognac or armagnac? |

Re: cognac
I love cognac.
I have a bottle of the Louis VIII. It was a gift from my dad three years ago. I have a glass with him on every Christmas. Hennesy Paradise is another great on that goes great with a Monte #2. I also like Remy Martin VSOP. For the money,this one is a great one.

Re: cognac
A congac fan too. I like Pierre Ferrand (sp). Excellent value in all price points. Their XO is a great deal. I guess the ownership split up and one of them opened their own company and I have bottle from them too, forget the name- will have to look when I get home but an amazing value.

Re: cognac
Ahhhh...Remy XO...and I'd love to get my hands on a bottle of Remy Louis XIII, but at $1500 per bottle I'd rather spend the $1500 on cigars and Remy XO...also gonna try the Armangnac's as I understand they are a little smokier in taste...no intention to threadjack but anyone recommend a good starter bottle of Armangnac?

I also like Remy, but the louis XIII is too rich for my blood... ![]() I found the hennessy to be to raw and not smooth enough. XR is eXtra Rare. It's one notch more aged cognac than XO. Last edited by par; 12-06-2005 at 01:19 AM.. |

$1,500.00??? That's full list. Walk into any liquor store and they'll quote you just under $1,200.00. If you look around, you can get Louis XIII for less than $600.00. The Extra can be easily found for less than $400.00. The XO is probably the best deal since it's around $100.00. There are other Cognacs out there that are on par with Louis XIII for around $500.00. |
