Hey guys,
I've been lurking, waiting for the approval to go through. Is there a backround check? :smiley2:
I'm in the (way) northern Chicago burbs. Been a cigar fan again for about a year. Gone through a few dog rockets, and some pretty good ones too.
Glad to have found this forum, looks like there are alot of experienced cigar people here.
You guys already saved me from a few purchasing blunders. Thanks for that.
:smiley37:
I love it when I hear the term dog rockets...
Welcome to the board!
Welcome from the UK

Hello from DC. What are the good cigar stores out in the windy city? May company has a lot of conventions out ther since is kind of in the middle of our 'sphere of work'.
Greetings, brother-of-the-leaf. Welcome to the global smoking lounge. Fire one up!
Sorry, I'm much not help with this. I rarely make it downtown, and if I do, I'll grab a smoke from the humi. To tell the truth, I've never even been to a real shop in Chicago proper.
Avoid the little tourist shop at the end of restaurant row on Navy Pier. I saw Weevil Holes there!! :smiley3:
up down cigars and iwan reis are two very good stores in chicago
glad I was grandfathered in then I guess...Quote:

You ever make it over to Cigar and More in Libertyville? Was there this afternoon watching the Bears game... :smiley37:
Welcome!!! :smiley20:
Welcome from one new member to another.
My earliest memories of growing up were in a SW Chicago suburb. Grew up in Calumet next to the golf course, and moved to Potowatomie Hills down the street during kindergarten and first grade.
I still love the upper mid-west.
Hey Ggiese,
I haven't been to Cigars and More yet. THey let you hang out and smoke there? I'll have to check that out.
Thanks
:smiley1:
Hey Sprang!
Is that a black Gibson ES-335 as your icon? I have a 1979 dot neck sunburst 335 and it's still my favorite guitar.
And welcome to CS. :smiley1:
Welcome.
Dru Lee,
No, it's an 87 LP Custom. I noticed your avatar, I was thinking what kind of, hey wait a minute, there're EIGHT tuning pegs there! WTF?? :smiley2:
The only place you can legally smoke in Libertyville after they moved to be a "smoke free" community 10/01. You can't smoke anything in any establishment other than a smoke shop...Quote:

I'm going to try and be there next Sunday for the Miami game... :smiley2:
That sounds great! Do they let you bring any libations in there? I'll try to pop in on Sunday too.
Thanks :smiley20:
