I'll be in Skokie / Northbrook / Chicago this weekend. Any good cigar bars I should visit?

I've already got Cigar King in Skokie, and Casa De Monte Cristo in Countryside on my schedule. Am I missing any "must visit" places?

Those are a few of my favorites. If you venture into the more northern suburbs cigars and more is an excellent place. If you make it into the city try iwan reis or updown.:-). I'm right by skokie but will be out of town this weekend. Lots of good botls to meet up with around here though.

I'll be in Hainesville near Gray's Lake too. Where's "Cigars and More" ?
[Reply]

Libertyville! You'll be right there, make sure you stop by. Some awesome smokes and staff. Make sure you meet Ken and Julie, good people! :-)

Don't forget to go to Hot Doug's. It truly is a "Encased Meat Emporium".

I grew up on Poochies, Hubs and Big Herms. My blood is like 90wt gear lube :-)

Let me know if you want to hit up Cigars and more this weekend, I'm like ten minutes away and would like to meet one fellow Asylum member at some point!

They're all in Skokie on Dempster between Crawford and McCormick.

Should be I'll send a PM with my number. This is one of the only weekends were I actually get to see my girlfriend though, so no promises... :-)

When you go to Casa, make sure you tell them to take you into the vintage room. Good luck not spending a months pay :-)

I should mention that Northbrook is a private club, but open to the public that wants to compete in the tournament.

It's a shotgun only club. No rifle or handguns allowed.

Here's a video tour of the club.
