S T Cigars

This place was recommended to me by a family friend and I’m glad he did. Place is small but very comfortable and has a nice feel to it. There is a nice selection of cigars among other things (vapes, glass, lighters, cutters, etc.) and the owner (Jack) was an extremely nice guy. I do not know much about cigars, usually just smoke them when one of my buddies pulls some out. Jack took the time to explain the differences, tastes, brands, and gave great recommendations. He could have easily just stayed put and let me wonder around trying to figure out what to buy but he helped me out and was very informed. I would definitely recommend his shop to anyone looking for a good cigar or looking for a nice place to hang out and grab a smoke. Atmosphere is great! I will definitely be going back.

Great for a smoke!

the best cigar shop in the area nice selection a good cigar nice area to sit there smoking my cigar and atmosphere lot of good friends to meet over there who enjoy cigars

Best cigar shop in McHenry County! Great selection and fun and friendly staff! So nice to be able to kick back and enjoy a good cigar in a leather chair and meet other aficionados. They frequently have vendor events and I highly recommend attending them! Love this place!

Nice selection of cigars with a unique area of hard to find cigars and rare cigars. Like a vintage Macanudo, Fuente Anejo, Opus X, etc. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. Prices are fair and they have a nice little smoking section. Their house blend is rolled from tobacco supplied by Camacho and is an excellent value cigar. Check this place out.

Came in to see if I could get a gift set for one of my friends coming up for the holidays, so I stopped here for convenience. I have lived in Carpentersville quite awhile and never really noticed the shop until now. It’s a small place next to the subway. I walked in and talked to the owner about what I was looking for, and he was really nice and helped me out. Even though I’ve smoked a cigar before (and its been years), I only knew basic stuff, so he was more than willing to help me out with selections and brands. Helped me select a cutter, lighter, and portable humidor box, which was perfect for my friend who is in the military. All that plus 5 cigars (and one free for me) for about $ 95. Which I must say was a good fair price. Like I said before, the owner is very nice and will work prices with you. They also have more of the nicer torch lighters and cutters, which are obviously pricier but he can shave a few bucks off.
They also have some hookahs, flavored tobacco, lighters, and pipes. If your looking for something in particular and they don’t have it, he can order it for you. He has a nice selection of cigars in the walk-​in humidor. They also have hookah events on Friday and Saturday evenings. They also close at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, which I think might be just for the holidays but I’m not sure.
Anyways, nice small friendly environment, fair prices, good selection, will definitely be coming back.

Nice cigar shop with a staff who know their stogies, but alas they don’t carry Rocky Patel’s. But I did find some nice stogies there.

This cigar shop is awesome! Ironically I didn’t know or pay attention this place was there until I ran a search to see what cigar shops were in the area. This one came up and is very close to where I live; so I checked it out and it’s now been exactly one year I’ve been coming here. The scenery is great and Jack the owner has a great selection of cigars and he gets new ones in once in awhile. He also holds cigar events where different cigar reps. will come and sample their cigars and raffle off prizes. You can also find a great selection of cigarettes at better prices in town! I also happen to be a good friend of the owner Jack and always come in to smoke a good quality cigar. So I would definitely recommend this shop to any tobacco enthusiast! So come on in and check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Owner was a nice guy. The place is not huge but looks pretty nice on the inside. Good selection.
I would go back.

Price of cigars here is average, not too high not exceptionally low. My biggest beef with this place is the operating conditions of the walk in humidor. Immediately upon entering the w/​i humidor it is readily apparent that it is exceedingly humid, they have a humidifier running each time I’ve been there. After getting my cigars home, I felt like I could literally ring the moisture out of it. My second complaint, and this is the bigger one — is that they keep the Acid cigars in the same humidor as the rest. This is a major NO NO for cigar storage. The oils and spices Drew Estate uses when making Acid cigars severely affects the taste of other non-​Acid cigars. Needless to say, they do not play well with others. In fact, I’ve seen Acid stored with other cigars at numerous other places — and it usually denotes an amateur operation. Another good way to test to see if you are dealing with someone who knows what they are talking about, pick up a large 8 inch cigar and ask them how long they’d think it would take to smoke. Any answer less than an hour and a half means they are pulling it out of their ass.
You might as well go to a gas station for a cigar if you’re planning on shopping here — you’ll pay less for the cigar for the quality — or lack there of — that you’ll be receiving.
