Wow. Sam who is also the owner of Casa de Monte Christo really did such a fine job with this place. Very elegant and extremely welcoming. While a little pricey it’s worth it. Trust me. Very friendly staff and such a huge range of cigars . It’s a members lounge with a coffee bar and conference room with also an outdoor patio . In addition if you are not a member you can also smoke in the designated area which is a nice touch . So peaceful that you can actually here yourself think. I strongly recommend this place to anyone .
I went here for my first cigar with my sister. Neither of us had ever smoked a cigar before or been to a cigar lounge. We had a blast the guy who greeted us recommended some cigars for beginners, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, we were able to sit in comfy chairs, drink some coffee and enjoy our first cigar experience. We will definitely be going again and trying more cigars. The staff really cares about giving you a great experience.
I travel for a living…and just started back to being in the road a couple months ago. One thing I do is check out cigar lounges around the country. I’ve been from Monterey to DC, and this is by far the BEST. Excellent humidor. Held a 68% humidity with air movement.Incredible selection of cigars. Bartender was very friendly and made the visit all the more enjoyable. You have to stop in!
This is a beautiful facility that offers private rooms, outdoor patio space as well as general indoor seating with wonderful hosts. The cigar offering is enormous and they have a very large walk in humidor. This is definitely a great cigar spot.
Very nicely remodeled. Pricey but guess they need to pay for that remodeling. Staff was super nice.
Great selection and great staff. My friend is a member and is kind enough to take me.
Great atmosphere and nice crowd. Manager was very nice and accomodated all our needs. Will be back soon. Thank you
Absolutely love this place!! One of the best selection of cigars in Chicago area... The sitting facilities and areas that they have are top shelf! The staff is wonderful and waits on you with professionally manners and purpose.
Great selection and great public lounge. Staff is very knowledgeable and open to assist
This is an amazing place to kick back and enjoy a fine cigar. Spacious luxury accommodations consist of large sales area public smoking lounge, lockers and exclusive VIP lounge with separate private party room and conference room available. Owners and staff are are very knowledgable, friendly and helpful to experieced and first time smokers alike. Humidor the best in the Midwest with a large sellection of commercial brands, custom rolled and vintage cigars. Owners have spared no expense when it comes to humidification and ventilation and decor. Come alone with friends or business associates and you will enjoy fine cigars, meet great people and develop new friends.
Great place! By far the best cigar lounge Ive been to. Very well stocked with different brands. Will absolutely come back.
Great place to pick up some sticks. Relaxing atmosphere knowledgeable staff.
This place was AWESOME. Chuck was the man, the cigar selection was great, and the VIP section was perfect.
Beautiful remodel of the old cigar shop. There is a nice VIP section as well as a private boardroom in the back. Cappuccinos were well made and the service was great. They also have a nice selection of aged cigars in addition to an extensive selection of more moderately priced smokes. (And the knowledgeable staff to help you make the right selection for your tastes.)
Absolutely beautiful and the selection was A plus++++. The staff is knowledgeable and truly care about your experience. Mike the owner a Master Craftsman in the decore. Vegas feel in Illinois confront. Highly recommend it to all.
What a beautiful store and lounge. Almost felt like a high end jewelry store for cigars. I will be back. Very helpful and knowledgeable! Thanks again for the recommendation!
Love it!! Definitely will become a member
Great cigar lounge! Fabulous decor. Great service. Wonderful selection. Friendly staff. Cant say enough positive about it. If youre a cigar lover, youll really enjoy the Byron Cigar Lounge!
Great Place to buy and enjoy a Cigar with friendsGreat Staff
Great selection of cigars and knowledgeable staff. Coffe pairings are on point. Beautiful establishment.
Renovations are fantastic. The team working are insanely knowledgeable and make you feel at home. Cant wait to return.
Very nice place. I would definitely go back.
Great upscale spot for a fine smoke. Helpful and friendly staff
Extremely pleased we chose to visit. Chuck was kind enough to give us a tour and offered seating in the VIP lounge due to us being out of town visitors. The membership is very reasonable and the selection of cigars is stellar. Once they acquire their liquor license this place will be a go to spot. Great job guys!
Nice space with lots of places to relax and watch TV and ralk
These guys know their stuff and the space is amazing
Excellent place, service and overall quality of cigars! We are visiting from Florida and they treat all visitors like VIPs, we got access to the VIP lounge and the are was spectacular. The humidors are really nice, great selection of cigars, I personally had Byron Reserva 5 años, one of the best onea I have tried. Highly recommended to visit if you are in the Schaumburg area.
Love the atmosphere and the huge selection of cigars.
Nicest cigar lounge Ive ever been to. Great selection and great coffee too.
One of the nicest lounges Ive ever been to
The remodel is great! I really do enjoy the new atmosphere. The staff is excellent and very knowledgeable. Two points of interest 1) The public area is a bit small, it easily gets over crowded. My guess in the summer this place is going to be more like a private place then public since their inside seating for public is limited to one room. 2) Need to build a vestibule, the air from the doors opening comes right into the public room, so cold air is constantly coming in. Im guessing in the summer it will be hot air. Oh, the venting system is this place is great! So if you are brining a guest that doesnt smoke they arent going to feel smoked out.Edit: Ok, so Ive been here 3 more times. Im upping the rating from 4 to 5 because the staff is SO GOOD. Honestly, they are helpful, attentive, etc even when they are super busy.
2nd time here and I very much enjoy everything about it. I been to a good selection of Cigar Lounges and the one Ive favored the most has always been Biggs. I now put this one up there with Biggs too. Caleb is awesome, great conversation and very knowledgeable. Great people to talk to as well. I was told about Casas De Monte Cristo and am definitely going to check that one out too (that location has BYOB which is a plus as Im used to having a pour with my cigar). If you havent been here and are wondering whether to stop in, you wont be disappointed!
Great place to Smoke Great Cigars!
Caleb was excellent! Very professional and offered some great suggestions. Would definitely recommend!
Jason is very knowledgeable..
Awesome environment & staff. Davidoff selection 2nd to none. Classy place to have an espresso & burn one.
Nice lounge and great selection of cigars.
Awesome lounge post remodel and ownership change, amazing shop selection of vintage cigars, and great customer service! Active involvement from the owner leads to a great experience! Very comfortable seating, great location. If youre further south, Casa de Montecristo is very similar and under the same ownership.
The Guys there know their cigars. They asked questions to get to know what kind of cigar I liked and pointed me to a few I havent tried before and liked afterwards. Will go here again.
Very relaxing environment. Great Hospitality. Luke treated us really well.
Well let me tell you about Byron Cigar Lounge in Schomburg, IL just reopened under new management every thing was redone. I bought a new Humidor from Sam.. well worth the $$$.Evans family
Beautiful place, great service, and nice selection!
Nice relaxing place and met great folks!
What a transformation at Byron Cigar lounge . Looks amazing and their cigar selection is awesome!
Nice cigar lounge with great selections!
Very nice lounge, great selection of cigars!
Definitively 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Nice place, awesome service and very cozy atmosphere to enjoy a cigar.
Beautiful environment, prices are great and the people are nice. I will be back.
Always a pleasure smoking here.
Amazing place,I want to try all the cigars
Unbelievable selection and a beautiful lounge.
I went here because I ran out of tobacco for my pipe. They dont have many options if thats what type of tobacco use youre into and the prices are quite high. Dont expect the person behind the counter to know much of anything at this place. Their cigar selection is also not that great. The smoking lounge area is spacious and very cozy feeling. I would recommend this place for the lounge, but not necessarily the tobacco products.
First and foremost, great selection of cigars. The gentleman in the wheelchair is very knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. They have some exclusives from big names, which is impressive. However the prices are a bit high and the furniture needs upgrading. Still enjoyed my visit tho
Currently not open, being remodeled- looking forward to this re-opening, fantastic selection of cigars and very helpful and cigar savvy staff!
Good place to grab a smoke and relax for a bit. Lounge gets pretty smokey when filled, could use a bit better ventilation. But the couches and chairs are nice and plush, and it is easy to spend an hour or two here enjoying fine smoke. Good selection of standard items as well as higher priced brands. Staff is nice.
Great place to chill and smoke a cigar
Great spot for some hard to find cigars. Great selection of good cigars. Prices are fair for a free standing cigar shop. Plenty of seats. Great host. Looking forward to the new place after renovation.Smoked a La Palina Goldie Toro from 2017 while relaxing and reading a book. Outstanding!
Jason is a hell of a nice guy. Great vibe, great selection of cigars. Handles smoke well and is much larger than it appears from outside. Were From Tampa Bay, come check it out. Thanks
Great place!
Great little shop! Super knowledgeable owner/staff and incredibly helpful. Spouse couldnt find exactly what he wanted, and was redirected to several other great options. I, myself, just grabbed some familiar names and was pleased.
Great place with a very good staff that is knowledgeable and easy to talk to. There is plenty of space available in this lounge with different seating options. The walk in humidor is great and there is plenty of products to choose from. If you have questions the staff here always has an answer.
Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Blown away by the amount of high quality and rare cigars available in their humidor. One of the best selections I have seen in Chicagoland cigar stores. The man that owns the place was very helpful and knows his stuff. Its a bit of a drive for me but I will surely come back.
Loved this place
I really would like to give this place a better score but I had a pretty bad experience my first time there.To start with the good points... a good amount of lounge area, multiple rooms with plenty of TVs. They also have a great cigar selection and accessories.I few negative points... The place needs to be ventilated much better. It is by far the worst ventilated cigar lounge I have ever been to. The only thing I noticed was fans on the ceiling.Their prices are a bit high.My main gripe.... Im a bit new to cigar smoking and I asked the person working there if they could point me to a medium body cigar as I hadnt eaten in a couple hours and I do not want anything strong. He recommended a stick, and I asked him the price. When I went up to the register the price ended up being $4 more then he told me. I really wanted to try the stick so I bought it. In the back of my mind I was thinking the stick he gave me was a full body, and I really should have double checked online.I smoked about 3/4 of the stick and became incredibly nauseous I had to leave. On the ride home I asked my friend to check the cigar online... and as I thought, it was a complete full body. I spent $17 on a cigar, couldnt smoke the whole thing and became sick. Not a very good first visit.If I end up going back I will not likely smoke in the lounge as my clothes wreaked beyond belief. I will also not ask for help choosing a cigar and go by what I have learned over the last months and if I need help I will just check online.
This has to be my favorite local cigar lounge. Great ambiance with a great staff running it. They are very helpful and really know their cigars!
Awesome cigar selections and lounge with multiple rooms with leather furnishings. Great spot! Very welcoming atmosphere!
Love the new owners! Staff is the best Jason, Adam, George very knowledgeable. Big selection of cigars and a decent selection of pipes needs. Told it will be growing. After the remodel I will give it five stars.
Easily missed as everyone is focused on the mall. Huge space and good selection, owners are super helpful finding the right sticks for you. Nice private poker room, another quiet room for meetings and a spots room with plenty of TVs. Definitely a place to go with the guys!
Unfortunately looks like a min spend of $15 is required now.I am a brick and mortar supporter but cant spend that every time I go in...Still smokey. Tim is great and always generous. Harry is knowledgeable and curmudgeon like.Good place overall.
Decent lounge under new ownership so history means little will have to see what the future holds for this. Whats to come should be ok since they own another very nice cigar store.
I am always impressed with the selection and knowledge of employees. Ive been coming to this particular store for about 5 years despite living 2-3 hours away. I still come here to stock up a few times a year because no other place Ive found can compete with the quality and variety.
Great place to relax. George was wonderful and extremely helpful choosing the right cigar. Also have great gifts for anyone
Great place to lounge and watch a game. Nice selection, fair prices and knowledgable staff to help you make the right selection!
Good cigar selection, lots of smoking space but could use some better furniture.
In town for some training and was looking for a pipe friendly establishment. What I found was so much more, jason was more than helpful in greeting us and helping my inexperienced friends pick out the perfect cigar! I cant recommend the friendly service and great selection more!
Nice lounge to sit and smoke. Large humidor with great selection, multiple lounge areas with chairs and couches all with TVs.
Always a pleasure, huge selection, decent air system, good staff.
Great selection of cigars with a huge man cave. The owners are very helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, Cook County tax is extremely high on tobacco so it can be expensive, but maybe that is a good thing too...
Love this place
Currently under construction theres no lounge or retail area.
Nice cigar nice place to enjoy football game.
Since taking over, Harry has transformed this into one of the best Cigar shops Ive been to. Good prices, great knowledge, and a large selection, combined with tons of space. I regularly drive from an hour away (with several closer cigar shops available) to relax here.
Very comfortable cigar lounge in Chicago.
I called up there and talked to Harry what a great guy. Even though I live down and Bourbonnais, an hour plus away, I had still heard of this shop. Soon I’ll be going up and the staff, primarily Harry will be why. Very knowledgeable, informative and easy to talk to, even though I had never been there.
7-29-19.Ok place. Good size and cool 4 TV set up. Big old chairs that are worn out and need replacing. Not a clean ashtray in the place. Its not a dirty place but not well kept either. Bathroom average. No alcohol, drink selection sucks! it was probably a cool place 10 years ago.Cigar selection below average. Drew Estates ok but over priced, my Father ok, LFD and Oliva ok. Besides that poor selection and choices of what to carry.Place needs a facelift and some energy. Its ok, but I dont think I will return. Just ok is not for me.Also one guy was yelling at one of the workers right in the open. That was strange.
The Cigar Lounge had amazing staff and selection. They walked me around the humidor stick by stick according to my preferences and Ive enjoyed every stick.
Great place to get away. TVs, cigars and knowledgeable staff. Perfect!
Theyre temporary closed, but that information missing at Maps. Wasted my time of driving....
This is a great place to hang out and watch a game with a good cigar. Nicely appointed lounge areas with lot of seating.
Good place to go to enjoy a stoge. Staff is very educated about their product and will halp you fine the taste you are looking for.
Amazing staff and a great selection. Huge space and comfortable chairs.
Great shop, great service and they had the cigars I couldnt find anywhere else!!
Very relaxing place to smoke a stoagie with your pals. Owner is very cool and knowledgeable about cigars.
