Your Favorite Brandy Brands

[ecorrigan]

I read something on the internet that said Hennessy rated among the top 3 brands of Brandy. I don't think that's a fair assessment. I'm wondering what everyone on here has for a favorite Brandy. I personally like Kammer Williams Pear Brandy, but I'm open to new ideas!
I want to find a good cigar/brandy pairing so let me know of any ideas in that category as well, if you would!!

The best I have tried by a long chalk are two cognacs which are made specifically for the Norwegian market (Norwegians are the largest consumers per captia I believe) and they are

Larsen XO
Bache-Gabrielsen XO

Difficult to find outside of Norway/northern Europe but well worth hunting down.

I second the Germain-Robin! Very tasty! And made in the US!
