kevpro Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hi everyone, I have been an occasional cigar smoker, usually while playing golf or vacation, but as I'm preparing for my first trip to Cuba in July I can already tell I'm hooked. I couldn't even wait till the trip so I picked up some Monte No 2's on the 24:24. My biggest problem is finding where to smoke them until it gets warmer (I was excited to smoke a Padron while walking my dog this weekend because it was only 30F and 15mph wind). If anyone has Chicago cigar lounge or even patio recommendations that would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to do my research but I know there's still a lot to learn. I'm excited to join the community and the inevitable growth of my Cuban cigar collection. Thanks, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian24 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I can’t remember where, but some members recently discussed 2-3 lounges in Chicago. Sadly I’m new, and don’t know how to link. I feel like one was loop area and other was near north or close to Lincoln Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Biggs Mansion is supposed to be great but I'd prefer to buy more cigars instead of a $75 day pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabil Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Iwan Ries on Wabash has a lounge, never been in it though. Out in the suburbs there a chain of them called Humidor, closest I think is Lisle but you can only smoke what you buy there. I got a balcony but it's been cold enough I've just been standing next to the door and blowing the smoke out haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're finally getting some better weather, I hope it stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want non-cuban cigars get out of Cook County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
