Armagnac Vs. Cognac

If you know Cognac, you’re among the many who know the global brandy phenomenon that has carved out a niche with cigar smokers. Those who know Armagnac are in much shorter supply, even while France’s other brandy has a longer heritage and rivals Cognac in connoisseurship.

Las Vegas and Atlantic City are not exactly sitting back on their comfy gaming-table chairs while potential competition brews in New York. After all, the Big Apple already attracts three times as many visitors as Vegas, even without full-service casinos, and the three-hour trip to Atlantic City is looking less attractive if all you want to do is place a wager.
