Puros Y Vino Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 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. 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: Left side: Right side: Some accessories: The stock was pretty much the standard CC portfolio. I inquired about their aged selection and picked up the following. RyJ Cazadores 2000. HDM Epicure No 2 2003 San Luis Rey Regios 2002 RyJ Exhibition No 4 2001 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.
Smallclub Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 The Lotus was my favorite "Civette" when I lived in Paris. Régis Collinet, the owner, knows his habanos and is a well known character.
DougB Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Great pics, thanks for sharing them...sweet pick-ups. You are going to love those Gran Corona's if you have not had one yet. Thanks again.
Michel1968 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 You might regret not picking more Qd'O GC's...
Squarehead Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Very well done Frank,congrats and thanks for sharing.

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.
