I've always heard that the glass type makes a difference when drinking Cognac.
Furthermore some folks heat / warm the glass prior to drinking?

Thoughts?
I've always been taught that one drinks any beverage from its appropriate glassware - at least, this goes for the higher end of any kind of beverage. A generic table wine will be fine from a tumbler (Italian style).

I've always seen cognac drunk from a snifter, which you cup in your hands to warm it slightly.
