Tesseron or Pierre Ferrand. What you would spend $150 on either brand, Remy or Hennesey couldn't touch for $500+. Once you try an aficionado brand like Pierre Ferrand; bye bye Remy...

Remy Martin Louis XIII.

Didnt see there was a limit, sorry. I saw favorite cognac, so I just posted.

Remy Martin VSOP then, for under 150.

Louis XIII, an excellent Cognac, however, it's extremely over rated for most people. Unless you have a very sensitive palate, which only a very small percentage of people have, it's a big waste of money.

For excellent Cognacs that can be appreciated by most people, you don't have to spend over $200 and often much less.

Try any or all of these, if you can find them in your area - prices are approximate as local & state taxes make a big difference:

Bisquit Dubouche VSOP Fine Champagne - $65
Bisquit Dubouche Napoleon Fine Champagne - $90 - One of my Favs
Cles des Ducs XO Armagnac - $100
Cles des Ducs Millesime 1962 - $200 - One of my Favs
Perre Ferrand 1er Cru Selection des Anges Cognac - $120
Hennessy XO Cognac - $130
Chateau Montifaud Grand Siecle 2000 Cognac - $140 - One of my favs
Pierre Frapin VIP XO Premier Cru du Cognac - $185
Louis Royer XO Cognac - $125
Marquis de Caussade Armagnac 30 year old - $185
