Cigar Shops -- City: Iwan Ries has the most knowledgeable staff – most have been there for years and are great resources. Updown consistently has the best selection. Hubbard & State Cigars is my regular haunt due to its proximity to my office. For all -- don’t coming looking for deals, our tobacco tax is ridiculous, and most offerings are around MSRP (and often higher).
Cigar Shops – Burbs: Burning Leaf in Plainfield has a good selection, and there are usually a few guys around bullshitting – a lot of xbox/ps3 gaming as well. They also have a nice selection of accessories. A few exits before Kingery off of 55. There’s also Stogies on Kingery in Willowbrook – a more likely choice for you – never been, but meaning to swing by at some point.
There used to be a great Mexican place on Kingery just off of 55 – Senor Tequila’s – they closed that branch and are looking for a new location in the area, but the Joliet one is still open – great food, great margaritas and great staff.
If you’re looking for something in particular, let me know, and I will try to respond.
Also, there is a great bar on Halsted called
The Manhole -- you should check it out after the game.
Had to get one Card's fan related dig in...
