Coolest Cigar Shop I've Ever Seen

[Eric @ The Party Source]

Just got back from Chicago visiting my buddy Paul who happens to be an Oliva Rep. I've been hearing rumors of the coolest new cigar shop in Chicago from Reps and customers. Well I had to see for myself.

The stories are true, Casa de Montecristo in Countryside, IL was the coolest thing I have ever seen in a cigar shop. Keep in mind I am a retailer as well and don't usually endorse one shop over the other to be fair to retailers. However I think all smokers should check this place out. Smoking lounge, VIP downstairs smoking lounge with movie theater, bar, private lockers, wine chillers and ovens.

One of the most extensive selections i have seen as well.

Eric, we hang out there once a week and I fully agree. Kockroach, DarkMan, and I spent a few hours there on Saturday. The place is amazing. The escaparate and the vintage room are unreal, and the VIP lounge is the nicest place someone will ever smoke in. Pete Johnson just visited last Tuesday and I guess he was very impressed. Hopefully, Pete will get on and tell us in his own words.

Do they have a website and/or photo album somewhere?

EDIT: Found it!

Eric you stand correct sir! It's really a thing of beauty but I think it belongs in a better location IMHO.

Those pics don't even do this place justice. The lounge and vintage room are sick!!

Yeah, you would prefer that it was in Johnsburg or some god-forsaken place like that! LOL

I'll be there in 2 Mondays for sure and am trying to get over there next Friday night (so, March 19th & 22nd. Would love to meet up...

Sorry, I still can't post links until after this post.

lmk.........you need a member with you to get in the VIP room. I would love to hang out. Kockroach and Joliet can probably be talked into it, as well.

You know what..........I did see you there. I didn't realize until just now where I had seen you before. I met you in the airport in Esteli. You showed me the video of the new machine that Perdomo is using to plant the seeds.

How are the prices at a place like that?

 

[PLUSH]

Yep, that is the kind of shop I want to open here.
