Where to smoke in Chicago

[jjmitch34]

My wife and I are heading to Chicago this weekend, just wondering if anyone can recommend a good place to smoke. I'm staying near The Loop. Thanks!

If you want to stay near the downdown area, some of the choices are:

Iwan Ries
Jack Schwartz
UpDown Cigars

Some great venues in the burbs, like La Casa de Montecristo in Countryside and Cigar King in Skokie, but not sure if you want to travel.

Smoking Nazis in IL make it impossible to smoke anywhere indoors besides B&Ms.

Casa de Montecristo. Great lounge, great selection.

My vote is for Tesa; I love that place. Casa is pretty Damn awesome though.

Thank you! Iwan Ries is a few blocks from my hotel so that's probably the winner.

Tesa - absolutely hit that if you can. They have their own factory in Nica and put out a amazing product.

Outside the city you cannot top Casa de Montecristo
