Has anybody tried Pierre Ferrand cognac?

[Dr. Stogie Fresh]

Here is a new Cognac that I picked up. Haven't tried it before. But I've heard some good things about it. It's the Selection des Anges.

Is that the 2006 Limitada LGC Serie R humi behind that bottle? If so, I hate you.

j/k, but it sure is nice.

I was told that Pierre Ferrand doesn't grade Hennessy-style with VS, VSOP, XO but that the Ambre, Reserve, Selection des Anges are the equivalent. In case you hadn't seen it:

Have you tried any of it yet? Ever see/try the Cigar Blend? I love the look of that humidor, nice Christmas indeed.

Yes, I did come across that web site, as well as another real good one, when researching this cognac. I did understand that the Selection des Anges represents cognac that has been aged a minimum of 30 years. Sounds great.

I have tried all the other LGC Serie Limitada blends (2003-2005), but I haven't sparked the 2006 yet. I was thinking of pairing it with the Cognac. That's why I kinda wanted to get some feedback from those that have tried it, not so much for the flavor of the cognac (though that is important too), but also for a pairing with smokes. Not that it would matter that much: it's goin' down, one way or the other. So are the stogies...

Pierre Ferrand is a top brand and each bottle is an excellent value. You can not go wrong with any product from this house. I have a few different one and they were all thumbs up.

What your review on this bottle?

Glad to hear you have had good experience with this brand. I haven't yet tried it, but I will soon. I'll let you know what I think.

I've tried the entry level Pierre Ferrand and generally liked it. I compared it to the Hennessey and Remy Martin and if I remember correctly, it finished slightly sweeter than other cognacs. Generally pretty decent.
