A Visit to: Le Lotus (Paris, France)


Recommended Posts

My second B&M visit in Paris took me to Le Lotus. I've heard good things about it. So on a day where we were doing "touristy" things nearby I convinced the woman that a side trip was necessary. innocent.gif

Here's a look from the outside.

The shop itself was bright, clean, very appealing. The humidor was off to one corner, kind of in the shape of a triangle. Size wise, it was slightly smaller than La Civette's but IMO, better stocked.

Outside of the humidor:

The stock was pretty much the standard CC portfolio. I inquired about their aged selection and picked up the following.

RyJ Cazadores 2000.

I also picked up a couple of Q'do Gran Coronas for the hell of it.

The service was excellent. I asked the gentlemen to write down the names and dates since they were all unbanded cigars. If you're ever through Paris, I'd recommend a stop here.

Thank you Frank! I have bookmarked all of your posts for my trip to Paris with the wife in '14. Cheers!

Cool. :ok: Let me know if you want to rent an apartment, I can send you a link. Do some googling, there are still a few indoor lounges that exist. I didn't have the time to visit any though.
