Its been years since I've drunk Hine Triomphe but I recall it as being unusually heavy (rich and full-bodied) with a lot of vanilla. Quite a different style from its peers/competitors. Martell Cordon Bleu is also good value (and somewhat similar, though more like an older XO). But the really good cognacs are from the small producers and not often imported into Canada or US; these are often priced much lower as well as being better drinking.
