Off to the Shed

In the blog that I discussed our very amazing dinner at Vue De Monde, I failed to mention that the whole purpose to the blog entry was meant to elude everyone to the fact that AFTER the dinner, we were bustled into a taxi and then taken to finish the night off at the Supper Club, but it would have made the entry too long and therefore here we are.

The Supper club if you havent already made its acquaintance is an fantastic little bar that is much like my favourite little bar in Yarraville called Aqua E Vino. As one review from Milica Fraser put it “It’s the perfect meeting place for a glass of red and luxurious conversation. (Not the type of place you want to rush in and out of). Cosy weathered chesterfield sofas, polished floorboards, jazzy music and staff that ooze class… virtually guarantee you won’t be leaving in a hurry.” I have to agree with her, however I used it for my favourite hobby of the moment, to have a cigar and try a different scotch. If you must know what type of cigar I had this time, it was the Partagas - Almarante, in some circles considered the ‘richest cigar in the world‘. Unfortunately my experience in the cigar world would not allow me to make such a broad statement. But I will keep you posted. From what I remember… the cigar was very strong and full of flavour and was a slow burner and like other good cigars didnt get too hot toward the stub allowing you to enjoy the smoke right to the end.

If you happen to go there, you must sit up the back (eastern side) of the room, which is near the big arch window which overlooks Spring street. The window is much like the one of the ones in playschool. We went there late at night, and with the lights directed onto Parliament house added to the whole experience and looks absolutely magnificent. As Milicia pointed out before, you can just sit and relax on the beautiful chesterfields and take in the ambience of the place.

So if you have a night free and are not offended by cigar smoke, mosey on down to the Supper Club and relax the night away, you wont be disappointed.
