The only other one in the immediate area is Arlington Pipe and Cigar on Northwest Hwy in Arlington Heights. Unless you want to travel further...

Probably not. Really busy week for me.
Casa de montecristo in countryside is always worth a trip, although it's not all that close to where you are staying. Make sure to check out their vintage humidor. (someone will have to let you in) also make sure to tell them you are from out of town and they will usually let you go to the downstairs members only lounge.
Havana Joe's in Mt. Prospect is nice and not too far from where you are at.
Big Mike's in Skokie just renovated, but I haven't been there since he bought it out. It used to be cigar king.
Humidor in lisle is brand new. Just opened less than a month ago. I haven't been there yet, but I hear good things.

Sorry to hear that
Now you can just come down and see what a real world class city full of beautiful architecture and art and culture and food is all about.
If you want to go into the city to meet up with Jason let me know, he's probably better company than me anyways
unless @sweemzander is still planning on meeting us in Schaumburg?
If you have something else you want to do just let me know. You won’t hurt my feelingsIf you want to go into the city to meet up with Jason let me know, he's probably better company than me anyways

Not at all, just saying if you would rather go into the city, you won't hurt my feelings either
Just go ahead and herf with Jason in the city tonight, I don't see that Dan has committed to tonight anyway. If you want to meet me in Schaumburg tomorrow night, that's cool too.
Havana Joe's is closed temporarily for remodeling and Big Mike's isn't worth the trip IMO. A shadow of what Cigar King used to be.
The others in the area a little further out are Neumans Cigars and More in Long Grove and Libertyville, both of their shops are very nice.

I might be able to swing by for an hour or two tonight. What time we thinking?
Can't do it. Sorry.
I wouldn't be able to get there before 7
I’m probably not gonna make it anywhere tonight. Still working and I’ve got another call after this one.Not at all, just saying if you would rather go into the city, you won't hurt my feelings either
I’m in, I should be done working by 5 or 6
Great, call it 7 at the Cigar Lounge? Sorry about yesterday, I ended up working until 8:30
Aw damn. I'm not sure why, but i haven't received any alerts from this site in a while, and suddenly I'm flooded with 500+ notifications all at once. Odd.
There's an outside chance i can make it tonight. Cigar lounge in Schaumburg?
I just drove by today, Havana Joe's is still closed for renovations.
Never been to Big Mike's when it was formerly Cigar King, but the current situation isn't bad - i actually really like the place... But can't compare it with how it used to be since i have no reference point.
Lmk when and where, and I'll try my best to make it out...
