Northern IL/Sothern WI

[CHRIS7891011]

I saw in another thread there is an intrest in a Northern IL/Southern WI herf.

Any suggestions of where to meet up? The best place I know of is Belicoso Cigar Lounge in Orland Park, IL but that's a bit south for msot people. I seem to rmember hearing about a place somewhere in northern IL but I've never been.


Also as far as dates go, I'm fine almsot any time. I just need to know in advance to get off work.

I am not sure where, but if there is a place in Schaumburg, that would prolly be ideal for the S. Il. folks and the Cheeseheads, and near cheeseheads such as myself I'm sure there has to be a cigar shop or something in that rich ass town

Google shows a few stores in the Schaumburg area. One of them is Habana Cigar House on Golf Road. I have been meaning to check it out. I'm not sure if it has a lounge or not but there are some nice restaurants in the area -- the only question is whether any allow cigar smoking.

let me ask around next time I hit Belicoso and see what I come up with.

I know where Habana House is, but haven't been there...yet. That'd be a good spot to meet, or somewhere there abouts

So we have 4 peps so far? It is definatly a start!

[Lok17]

Shoot, we have atleast 4. LET'S DEEWW THIS!!!!

I went to Habana House yesterday and it's a very nice B&M. I signed up for their mailing list and talked to the guy about different events they have. I could have dropped a lot of $$, but the wife was waiting in the car and I didn't wanna start that battle

I've got to get over there and take a look. Did you ask him about holding a herf there?

[Lok17]

If he didn't I can prolly stop by sometime this week. I end up driving right up 290/53 there several times a week right past Golf road.

Maybe he knows someplace in the area that serves food and drinks and will allow cigar smoking?

I actually found a new place today that they say is going to open up in a week and a half, but we all know how construction scheduals go. It is in Elmhurst, bout 20 min South of Schaumburg right down 290. Anyways it is gonna have a bar, Tv's, billards, and all kinds of great stuff and what I estimate, by what he told me, like a 20'x20' walk in humi. At some point I am thinking we def. need to hold a herf here!!
