Two Pleasures, One Bottle
Some gift sets pair a bottle with a glass; this one pairs a genuine aged cognac with a real cigar. The spirit is 100% Grande Champagne, distilled and aged 5–10 years by Le Reviseur's house in the Premier Cru — crisp apple, vanilla and cinnamon with a remarkably long finish. Sealed inside the same bottle: a custom-blended Vartan cigar, Dominican filler under a Sumatra-Ecuador binder and Yamasa wrapper, kept at perfect humidity by a Boveda pack. It is a genuine VSOP cognac, not a liqueur. Browse the store's cognac collection or gift-worthy brandies, and see more from Le Reviseur.
Tasting Notes
Crisp apple, vanilla, brown spices and cinnamon on the nose; a gorgeous balance of fruit freshness and sweet scented notes on the palate; remarkably long finish balancing bright acidity and sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Pour the cognac neat in a snifter, clip the Vartan, and let the Boveda pack do its work — this is a pairing designed for one evening. The ultimate gift for the cigar-and-cognac enthusiast.
