Anyone know of any upcoming cigar events in Illinois? The only thing I could find was this North Shore Cigar festival in August. Illinois sucks need to move to Texas or something.

Anyone up for this? I live in the Chicago area. If we could get 10 of us interested, we could take advantage of the 10 ticket package (aka group buy) and save 30%.

I've attended the CPCC (pipe show) there the past two years. Same venue, same tent. It's not a bad spot. The hotel rooms could use some updating, but they actually let us smoke our pipes in the hotel rooms (not in the actual exhibition center) so no complaints there -- not sure if they'll let us do that this year.

It's on a Wednesday, not sure if I can get off work on short notice. It sounds like a blast I will let you know if I can get off.

In the fall (Sept. I thinK) There is a cigar event at Jimmies Bar in Peoria. A few cigar vendors,various liquor tasting. Sponsored by the Gentleman's Cigar Society. I will post a link when this years event is announced. Smoking is in the beer garden, nothing fancy, but enjoyable.
