    Default What about brandy?

    One day, when I was much younger, my dad got a bottle of Courvoisier VSOP cognac (brandy) as a present.

    Good memories. It's still my favorite.

    A snifter of cognac. A cigar. A campfire. Good company. Life is good.

    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.....

    And shepherds we shall be,
    For Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
    Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
    That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
    So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
    And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
    In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

    Yes, yes, and yes again. It is hard to find here sometimes but is worth the search.

    I will have to try that.

    Kelt cognac or VSOP. It is aged on the ocean, the flavor is spectacular and is a great match for a Partagas No. 10.

    Ooooh, that sounds delicious; like a nice winter time beverage.

    VS Antigua VSOP from Portugal is very good
    Aquardente Bagaceira Grappa Marc, XXXXX, VSOP old brandy is also very good
    Asbach Uralt from Germany is considered one of the best in the world - and I agree

    "Ararat" from Armenia is incredible. Don't have any idea if you can get it here, but it was famous all over the former Soviet Union.
