Hub of Cigars and connecting dot for business

by Ronie1234 at Citysearch

This place is the smoking lounge your spouse won't let you have at home. Big screen TV, huge selection of Cigars, comfortable seating surrounded by soft leather, and of course a walk though humidor containing all varieties of cigars at truly reasonable prices. All of this is great but the real reason to come here is the staff and patrons. The proprietor is very knowledgable and is more than helpful in helping you find that perfect smoke. The patrons are fun, friendly and a great bunch to be around. Funpart of the shop is to Enjoy cigar events, owner orders food for every one and get deep discounted cigar and lots of people to socialize.

• Pros: Ambience,interaction with people,
• Cons: Gets little smoky.

Home of cigar aficionado

by Hifiken at Citysearch

We stumbled on this place not really knowing what to expect and found it to be a nicest cigar selection, I ever seen. We had no idea it was a coffee & espresso bar so we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was very helpful and treated us like kings! This will be one of our favorite hangouts for sure. Place where cigar events are pleasing day for cigar aficionado.

• Pros: Classic Place but still very down to earth.
• Cons: attending events are very busy and little smoky.

friendly spot.

by gocubsgoooo at Citysearch

Karma is my new favorite hangout. I went in for a cigar and left with a new group of friends. Darren, the owner, took the time to make sure I pick a cigar that was going to be perfect for me. Then the group there welcomed me to sit and relax, smoke, and shoot the breeze. People came and went and everyone was very friendly, like we were all friends. If you have not been there, you NEED to make the trip. And the recommendation for the smoke was spot on!

Better then any Cigar Shop in chicagoland

by Alan1974 at Citysearch

Great new location includes a walk-in humidor & fresh cigars, 48 inch Plazma, lots of leather chairs as well as pub tables and Coffee Bar. They have wireless internet. Has very well attended smokers . The best selection of rocky patel, padron, Gurka,Camacho,CAO,Oliva,Ashton and Joya de Nicaragua in Chicagoland. Other places may have better selection of A. Fuente products (esp hemingway line) but i wont tell you where! Owner Darren is always there and conversational. Although the space has one in ceiling air purifiers, it can still get quite smoky when crowded. May need to upgrade ventilation. Great place for a window shopping. Ask for Special Discount on Humidor and Lighters ( I got 15% Discount on my whole Order)!!!

• Pros: Its BYOB, so it is always cheaper then Bars and get personalised service.
