Appellation Cognac Contrôlée XO
A blend of twenty eaux-de-vie produced using Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Fins Bois grapes.
Created by Bernard Hine and Nicholas Freeman (Hunters & Frankau) in their quest to find the perfect match between the most expressive of cigars and House of Hine cognacs.

Cigar Reserve is an invitation to embark upon a Gauguin-like journey through precious wood and sweet cinnamon. Rich and corpulent in character, its exotic aromas reveal a taste for adventure. Its deep amber tones signal a cascade of aromatic complexity: zingy spices – fresh pepper and tobacco – underscore notes of walnut, honey and lightly toasted flavours. Discreetly enveloping the palate, it is the perfect companion for the first puffs of a powerful and fragrant tobacco. Cue an almost irresistible urge to jump up and don a panama…

Cigar Reserve is a distinctive expression of the house’s expertise, where a blend of eaux-de-vie aged for over fifteen years sustains an exchange with another great taste sensation: the cigar.
