Default Skokie IL / Chicago IL this weekend?

I'll be in Skokie / Northbrook / Chicago this weekend. Any good cigar bars I should visit?

I've already got Cigar King in Skokie, and Casa De Monte Cristo in Countryside on my schedule. Am I missing any "must visit" places?

Those are a few of my favorites. If you venture into the more northern suburbs cigars and more is an excellent place. If you make it into the city try iwan reis or updown.. I'm right by skokie but will be out of town this weekend. Lots of good botls to meet up with around here though.

Don't forget to go to Hot Doug's. It truly is a "Encased Meat Emporium".

When you go to Casa, make sure you tell them to take you into the vintage room. Good luck not spending a months pay

I should mention that Northbrook is a private club, but open to the public that wants to compete in the tournament.

It's a shotgun only club. No rifle or handguns allowed.

Here's a video tour of the club.
