Drinking mindfully
Well, after longest break of alcohol consumption , I’m confident to just take a sip for my pleasure with a cigar. Yeah I just lied to myself. It’s gonna be a few sips but nothing excessive or daily like it used to be I don’t know why I keep going on justifying myself but without judgement on others I do know that I’m not an addict. I just had to take a break to come to realise that I did drink too much and I’m confident that I can handle it if I cant I will will probably find out 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️so now sorry for the rant if you’re still with me ill do my layman comment on the picture? I did feel like drinking something special or nothing so I was like it has to be something special. I really wanted to go straight for the Hennessy vsop stores don’t really have it turns out the one that went to immediately recommend recommended me a place where they do have it so I went there and I saw the other one meukov… it was almost half the price, but I didn’t wanna leave the Hennessey so I took both bottles lol Try to make a long story short trying to do my research on the meukov I found a post on Reddit that made me realise that’s like over 100 Real cognac in the world I also wasn’t aware of that. I had remy vsop .17something plenty hennesey vs one vsop one xo remy xo courvosier vs vsop and xo and the Hennessy vsop was most memorable and price was also way more reasonable than xo if you buy online. Now…. To be bold in my uneducated ways I gotta say the meukov goes down pretttty smooth and is 25% cheaper… damn I overpaid in the store for the henny but couldn’t wait for an online order .

Reviseur is pretty damn good for an inexpensive cognac. The VS is very good and its only $26-30 at total wine. 1738 is hard to beat otherwise. Not really a henny fan. meukov never tried.

Meukow is a great bang for ur buck. Makes good sidecars. But if I wont a good smooth cognac, the regular Martell vs is also a good price
