Came from Lombard to check this place out and was not disappointed. Great selection and friendly employees. Thanks for all the help Brady. I'll definitely be back. read more

Given the nature of the city of Galena and the type of shops they have on their main street, I was expecting something more. I was expecting more boutique and smaller batch cigars, and all they had was the same cigars I've seen everywhere else in the area. The staff was friendly and helpful but since there were no new sticks that I had never seen before, I didn't buy anything. There is no lounge or smoking area. This is also a gift store for things like whiskey, glasses, humidors, generally masculine gift items, which is pretty cool. Given the nature of their location in Galena, it's expected that their prices are higher than you would find in other areas and they are, so no big deal. I can't tell you how disappointed I am that a store sitting on the main drag in a tourist town, doesn't have any new sticks or sticks I haven't seen before. read more

Awesome shop. Can't wait to go back. Tonette is amazingly helpful and their selection of cologne, beard products, cigars and more is outstanding. read more

This is one of my must-see places whenever I visit Galena. I'm indifferent about cigars, although they have several varieties of them, but I like this place because of their shaving accoutrements. They carry my favorite aftershave, and they also have some great shaving soaps that I cannot simply find on Amazon. Further, I believe that they charge fair prices for these products. Considering that they have items that you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere, it's always worth the time and money spent there. And the people who work there are fantastic. They ordered shaving soap on my behalf and shipped it to me. Considering that I don't even live close to them, I appreciate the customer care they provide. If you have just one afternoon to spend in Galena, be sure that you see Nine Generals. It is definitely worth the trip. read more

Love, love, love this little shop. Brady and Tonette make this little eclectic shop extremely special. The cigar selection is perfect, not overwhelming, but good blend of old favorites and hard to find allocated labels all at great affordable pricing. I also find it refreshing that they have a fun selection of hard to find men's supplies and unique cocktail item. Plus, one of my favorite parts of this shop is the smoking area in the back patio to enjoy any of the purchases made in the shop. Buy one, smoke one! And enjoy great conversation with the proprietors! Thanks Tonette for the amazing experience. read more

Ihave stopped in a few times to get my shaving supplies. They have more than just cigars! There are cocktail sets and mixers, as well as the vintage shaving sets. There are many different kinds of cocktail glassware and accessories that I never even knew existed as well as locally made aftershaves and balms! Everything luxury!... read more

We stopped in because my husband wanted to check out the cigars, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that they offer much more than just cigars! While their cigar selection is great, we loved checking out their cocktail bitters and accessories. We found some unique items! They also offer a nice line of men's grooming products and items. This place is much more than a typical "guys cigar shop". It really is a great stop for any cocktail enthusiasts as well! I look forward to visiting again! read more

Girlfriend and I stop in everytime we're in Galena. Always walk out with a few things. A must if you're in town! We've had very friendly experiences there. read more

I was in shop this past Sunday. Not a lot of cigars, more shaving product. Prices for what cigars they did have was pretty good. Shop of this type needs pipe tobacco, wooden pipes, with a good selection of premium cigars. The employee was not very knowledgeable of cigars. However the shop has only been open a few weeks. Galena definitely needs a good cigar shop, I hope this one is it. read more
