Rich would know more but I believe the juice on that place was easily over 2 million. It's also 250 a month on auto credit for a membership to be a vip. Worth it maybe but to me the prices are a little high on some and ok on others. Also so far vip members dont receive box discounts as of yet?( Rich?) But yes, in the end, as for know I signed up just to be able to hang out there once a week!

Justin, I thought we get 10% on boxes

After going to the website, it is definately a nice looking shop!

(I'm sure it doesn't have the "Brotherly" feel that The Burning Leaf has though! :thumbsup:)

You are probably right about that. But, it has it's place. The Leaf is one-of-a-kind!! Glad to see you had a good time at Draper's.

Rich, we do have a 10% discount. Also, the 19th/22nd are no go for me...I'm headin to Miami on the 19th, and to Nica from there on the 22nd.

The place is very cool. Rich, Justin, Luke and I have been there together a few times. The prices for some stuff is high, but others pretty in line. Just as Rich said, the aged and vintage rooms are very nice. Word is that Pete will be working with them on a stick for the shop.

This shop looks amazing, I'm glad it's only about 15-20 minutes away from me. I can't wait to check this place out!

I just called and got some information. The VIP lounge sounds outstanding. I'm probably going to head over there tomorrow if anyone else wants to join me. LMK :)

250 a month? word?

That's a bit steep for no box discount and just a vip area to hang out.
I'll stick to my B&M... I'm always treated like a VIP, and I don't have to pay for the lounge, and they give box discounts!

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.
Rich.....I hope I can get you to be my tour giude brother when I come to Chicago. Sounds like you guys really know what and where all the great places are!

Yeah, it's a great place. I was there with Pete last week and he was impressed. Mike and Sam the owners are really cool guys. And for the record you buy a card with $250 in credits there every month to purchase anything at in the store and you get full access to the VIP lounge with full benefits to soft drinks and coffee. You also get 10% off box purchases.
