And yes, the old owner of The Cigar Lounge was a dick. And to my knowledge he is the new Oliva rep for the Chicagoland area. The Cigar Lounge is under new ownership, the guy is super nice and doing his best to change the atmosphere of that shop. He is very aware of the reputation it had.
I would also suggest Jorgio's Cigars in Wheaton if you wanna hang out, smoke some smokes and have good company.
Just eat at Portillos. Day 1 get hot dogs. Day 2 get Italian Beef. Day 3 Chili Dogs. Day 4 Burger and cheddar fries.....
