Default I bought a cigar shop in downtown Naperville, IL!

Bull and Bear in Naperville, IL. 22 East Chicago Ave, Suite 107, Naperville, IL.

I have been a regular at this B&M for over 6 years. It is my home. The owners wanted to retire so after a few weeks of discussion, I bought it. It is one of the few places left in this state that you can still enjoy a cigar with your friends inside.

I have currently closed the place down to remodel and redo the inventory. I hope to have the place back open March 1 and a grand re-opening celebration during St. Patrick's Day weekend, Saturday March 16.

I invite everyone to come by and say hi and enjoy a cigar!

More information as it gets closer to launch date!
