Excellent establishment for high-end and basic cigar selections. The business is always bringing in limited edition cigars, and the staff are very knowledgeable on each cigar flavor/aroma complexity. Great place for drinks, too! Their beverage selection is insane. Plenty to choose from and custom drink orders can be made even if it's not listed. However, they don't serve food but do allow you to bring it in from outside sources. Seating options vary from a mixture of bar countertop stools to lounge style chairs/tables near fireplace. There is also a spacious outside lounge seating area with a fire pit option. On occasion, special events are scheduled with cigar and spirit owners/representatives to elaborate on certain brands. Providing indepth knowledge on the products history and flavor profile. Certain events have drink/cigar specials and raffles. Staff and owners are genuine good hard working people. Definitely recommend this business for pleasure and B2B meeting settings.

I'm pretty new to cigars but Mark gave me some suggestions and I landed on a Green Bay brand which was a great cigar. Had a couple mocktails and a good conversation with Lucas while I sat at the bar. I will definetly be back the next time we visit the area!

The Tasting Room (TR) blended the tradition of a private cigar lounge with the accessibility and approachability of a public 'All are welcome' cigar lounge. Between the sleek rustic modern interior with many different gathering nooks to the spacious outdoor patio The Tasting Room had all the amenities a cigar fan would want. TR had a large, well organized and well humidified humidor. I had the pleasure of working with Bob, a fellow Chicago native, as we talked through the different tasting notes and style of cigar I was looking for that evening. To which Bob recommended the E.P. Carrillo Pledge, which has been named the #1 Cigar of 2020 and the #11 Cigar of 2022. Fantastic Smoke. Not only did the TR have great customer service but their ventilation systems were top of the line. Not once was I concerned that my dress attire was going to be overly pungent with the smell of smoke. As a individual who seeks out the best cigar lounges to enjoy a cigar in the midst of a brutal Midwest winter, TR impressed me in all that it had to offer. TR felt like a higher end private club without the stuffy atmosphere. If you're a cigar fan and looking for a great place to come have a stick I would highly recommend adding TR to your list. One thing is for certain, I will be a repeat customer when in town.

I was in town for a wedding and visited while my wife shopped. Super friendly staff…welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. Great selection of cigars and I enjoyed a locally brewed beer. Building was very comfortable with a variety of seating and the air handlers did a fantastic job. My wife came to pick me up and was very comfortable just hanging out while I finished my hazy IPA. Strongly recommend this place and wish I had a place like this near my home.

Great atmosphere. Comfortable and welcoming. Looking forward to making this a common stop especially now that the weather is getting colder.
