My wife wants us to go to chicago, so she can visit a friend and go shopping. Is their any one that knows of anyplace to get a good cigar their and hang out and maybe hopefully watch the cubs play in the playoffs .Any shopping recommendations.

Lots of bars and bar areas of restaurants are cigar-friendly, at least until the state's Jan. 1 smoking ban. Not even cigar bars will be exempt.

For now, Mortons, Sullivans, the Billy Goat, Ditka's, all welcome cigars.

righteous, thanks.

I was just going to ask this very question. Thanks.

Wife and I just scored tickets to the freak show that is Jerry Springer. (I know, I know, but when I see the show I feel so normal). Wife suggested it so I emailed them and the rest is history.

Definitely want to check out the Billy Goat, Ditka's, and either Morton or Sullivan's.

I ask my wife if she would be getting her "Jerry Beads" and she said "Hell No".

Try heading up north to Cigar King in Skokie if you can. Great selection, 2 big screens, lots of seats, free billiards table and every Friday they have a live jazz band. Good times.

Thanks Stogie. Sounds great and will try to make it. Played a lot of Billiards growing up and would love to play some at a place like Cigar King. Love to hear the jazz also but we get in on Saturday and leave out on Tuesday.

And welcome to the boards.
