Wheeling, IL
Service was great and informative. Selection was pretty decent for a smaller shop. Prices seemed a little higher but i would rather get a quality smoke from a smaller business than waste my time with a turn and burn place or a place that doesn’t take the care seriously.
If i find myself in the neighborhood, i will definitely be back.
Located a few blocks away from House of Blues and across the street from El Jefe

Everett, MA
Pricing was good and selection was huge. The guy working was also very friendly too, seemed very knowledgable. I’m new to smoking cigars and the few other places I’ve gone in Chicago have not been up to this experience.
I’ll be going back eventually before I leave town.

While in Chicago, I wanted to get some flavoured tobacco for my hookah back in Canada (flavoured tobacco is now banned from sales). I found this place on Unilocal and it was very close to my hotel. While they had a decent selection of what I needed, the woman working was visibly irritated by the fact I asked for help, which was inevitable given the fact the tobacco was hidden around the corner behind the counter. Perhaps she disliked the fact I’m not her normal clientele (younger male), or perhaps she’s just a painfully cold and rude person. Regardless, the selection was good but the service was wretched. If you can avoid shopping here, please do. If you can’t get what you need elsewhere, then perhaps check it out.

First time going and they were extremely nice. I enjoyed the atmosphere and when buying something the man at the counter took the time to explain maintenance on it.
I will be visiting again

It’s a local shop. Not a lot of space, but every inch is the real Chicago. You can smoke here and the selection is broad.

Tipp City, OH
I was in town on business and decided to find an Acid «Windy City.» This was the closest cigar shop to my hotel. The man behind the counter was very friendly. It seemed like a nice little shop. I would do business with them again!

This place isn’t for lingering but it does offer a great selection of a great selection of cigars to enjoy elsewhere. And along those lines — 300 feet down Hubbard Street is Sullivan’s Steakhouse where you are welcomed with open arms to sit on the sidewalk patio and puff away. With tumblers and stogies in hand it was the perfect way to end a summer night with a few pals that were visiting from out of town. The staff is very friendly and helpful and I’d give it a five star rating if the store had better presentation. (It’s a bit cramped & cluttered to say the least.)

This cigar shop located in the heart of River North will just do.
Pros:
Tax is already baked into the price.
Most macro brands of cigars carried here.
If you’re lucky, they’ll have some Opus X in stock.
You can find Camacho Ditkas here.
They have their own Rocky Patel Chicago blend.
Cons:
There is nowhere to sit and you can’t light up a cigar in there.
Boutique brands are almost wholly absent from the shop.
I would liken this to going to your standard liquor store that lacks really great microbrews or are missing exceptional quality bourbon/​scotch/​or wine. They do carry most major brands if that is your cup of tea.
If you know nothing about cigars, this place will fit the bill as they’ll carry most recognizable name brands.

Northbrook, IL
The best deals on cigars downtown, small but friendly and right next to some very nice bars and night life. They also have Arturo Fuentes opus x and many hard to find cigars

Lansing Charter Township, MI
I travel a lot and like to try out different cigar lounges. I enjoy Iwan Ries and Tesa. I have wanted to try something different, so I called Hubbard & State Cigar Shop to ask if they had a cigar lounge. He abruptly told me «no». When I asked him if there was one in the area, he said «there aren’t any around here» and hung up. He kind of reminds me of the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld.
Really??? What about the two that I’ve been to?
I’ve made this call on two different occasions with the EXACT same result. I would gladly stop in and buy my sticks here if they are friendly and have a good selection (you can always find something that your locals don’t carry).
While I can’t speak to their selection or décor, I can speak to their customer service. As a cigar shop, you cater to a small audience anyway. Why be rude and lie to potential customers?

Good selection and reasonable prices — even for being in downtown Chicago.
It would be easy to walk by this single window store front on Hubbard and never know that a great tobacconist was so close. With several hundred cigar options as well as decent pipe and smokeless tobacco offerings Hubbard Cigar is a great option if you are in the neighborhood. They also include the 47% tax in their list prices, and yet cigars here are cheaper than the pre-​tax prices of some bigger shops such as Blue Havana or Iwan Ryes.
They used to have sidewalk seating and allowed smoking in the store, but unfortunately both of those options are no longer available, so if you want something to go this is your spot.

My wife and I were in Chicago for the Memorial Day weekend and found this gem on Unilocal.The person who helped us were very helpful and knowledgeable. The selections were quite amazing and ambiance is very welcoming. I’d reccomend anybody to stop by while you are in Chicago.

I came across the Hubbard & State Cigar Shop completely by fluke. I was looking for a light and saw there was a group of friendly folks puffing on cigars outside. Having come from dinner at Sunda, and sometimes will enjoy a nice cigar after a good meal, I decided to hop in and explore the shop.
The manager, John, was very knowledgeable and thoughtful in his recommendations. What I also enjoyed was the wide variety of cigars you could choose from.
After you choose your cigars of choice, there’s indoor and outdoor seating available. I preferred outside seating because the location of Hubbard & State Cigar Shop is prime people-​watching.
Definitely try this place out if you’re looking to enjoy a cigar either on the fly or want to mellow out.

As a regular at the shop, I must say that hanging out in front on a nice day is the best place to smoke downtown.
The brands are diverse and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting.

There aren’t many decent cigar stores left, but this is one. Good selection. Good helpful attitude. A few chairs to have a smoke, although the regulars may have them all occupied.

My favorite place to buy cigars — whoever is behind the counter is always pleasant and knowledgeable. I love the small cigars in tins and always come in to see what new ones they have. I consider it a good deal — you can get cigars from some of the finest manufacturers in a smaller «serving size» — perfect for a lightweight like me.
Note: there was a sign in the store that there’s no smoking in the store as of 4÷19÷08.

This place always has the brands I’m looking for at an acceptable price, always has a friendly person behind the counter, and sometimes, if I’m really lucky, somebody will tell me a really funny joke on the way out.
It’s a little cozy and often smoky, and I think it’s my favorite smoke shop in the whole world.

This cigar shop has an old-​school feel totally befitting the vibe of downtown Chicago!
Its got about as much style as a corner liquor store but its definitely got a lot of character!
We walked in, eagerly (for some reason, my/​our craving for stogies kicks in when we’ve got liquor on the mind… its just natural, yes?)… This store is actually very small. Well, to tell the truth, its not that small but most of the storespace is occupied by inventory and humidors. There were four guys inside smoking away, which made for a kind of homey, but cramped, environment. And yes, like in Fred F’s review, the counters were adorned with empty and half-​empty bottles of liquor. I thought it was amusingly appropriate…
Cost wise, i’m not sure. I’ve not been in the habit of buying cigars lately so I can’t quite remember whether or not the prices were inline or fair. For the three finer cigars we bought and the three cheapies, the total seemed about right…
