Each year, an unidentified person skulks into the Westminster Burial Ground in Baltimore and leaves 3 roses, a half-empty bottle of cognac, and sometimes a note. Most stories just mention "cognac", but some purposely obscure the brand name, saying "(famous very expensive brand) cognac". So what is it? Martell? Courvoisier? Remy Martin? Is there a particular brand that has special significance related to Edgar Allan Poe?|||There is no evidence that Poe drank cognac, but the vintage of the cognac is French; howeverl no mention is done by name and even the Poe House (which has the bottles) will not show pictures of them to determine brand|||Martell....
"The three roses represent Poe, Virginia and Maria," says Jerome. "The cognac, we think, is simply a favorite of the toaster. It's Martell. As for his identity, we believe that there have been two toasters, perhaps a son carrying on his father's tradition."|||There was only one brand back then
