    A Cuban Experience - Their house blend. Decent stick

    This gem in Waukegan is worth the trip. I found myself in the area and looking for a place for…read morecigars. If you were passing by, you couldn't tell from the street that a spacious cigar bar was inside! Upon entry, I was immediately awed by the layout. It's got seating for a good 40-50 ppl (in comfy leather couches) with enough room to house many times that if ppl are standing. The humidor had good options; not the biggest in IL but I liked they offered all the big names, along with their own house blend. Speaking of the house blend - there's literally a lady in the lounge sitting at a roller's table! The sticks were priced reasonably, and you're allowed to sit in the lounge for free with any stick purchase. If you bring something in from the outside, I think the cutting fee is $20. I also believe it's BYOB (but can't confirm because I didn't see anyone with booze.) The one drag is they close early; 7pm most days but open until 10pm on Wednesdays as they have a live band. If you're in that neck of the woods, I highly recommend this establishment.

    A Cuban Experience is a fine place to spend some quality time with friends, a smooth cigar, a drink…read more- byob or get a soda for $1, watch a game, bring some reading, or just chill. Easy to find. Good selection and prices. Very friendly service. Comfy chairs and setting. Music on Wed nights. Check their site for hours - since the owners will shake things up to match demand/season. Close to good restaurants to get your protein fix before or after.

    I called this business ahead of time because I know very little about cigars and was looking to buy…read moresome really nice cigars as gifts for friends. I spoke with an employee named Josh and asked a few simple questions about their inventory and what the most expensive cigars they carried were. When I asked if they had anything over $100, Josh responded with, "I can charge you however much you want," and then told me that if anyone pays over $100 for a cigar, they're getting ripped off. I clarified that I hadn't bought anything yet and was simply asking questions because I was unfamiliar with cigars and wanted to get something high-end as a gift. I told him I'd stop by later that afternoon, and when I arrived, I was greeted and went into the humidor to browse. While I was looking around, I overheard Josh at the desk laughing about our phone conversation and mocking me to his friends, saying I got ripped off and making fun of the questions I had asked. As someone who was genuinely trying to learn and was fully prepared to spend good money on gifts, being publicly mocked for asking beginner questions was honestly shocking and extremely unprofessional. I came in with good intentions and an open wallet, but after that experience, I decided to take my business elsewhere.
