s15driftking · 11-20-2009, 06:44 AM

Fesival of lights starts tomorrow, i will there for it.

UPDATE:

Went to Golden leaf tobacco, Owner was Very very nice, he gave me a cheapo cutter for free so i tipped him with an 03 Partgas Churchill, then he retaliates with a San Cristobal La Punta. We talk about the other shop he is affiliated with called Tesa Cigars. He then Tells me about Jimmy Figs and another place called the erie cafe.

Great time so far, Giordanos destroyed me!

Going to the Signature room on the 95th tonight.

What should i do for sightseeing today?

I hear good things about China Town,
I hear good things about the boat tours,
i hear good things about the bus tours,
i hear good things about the art museum.

Lemme know what you think??

Mike Ditka's restaurant at the Tremont Hotel has a really good steak, he has his own line of cigars too. I bought one last time I was there it didn't blow me away but neat to add to one's stash.

Oh man, how did I miss this thread? Sounds like you're having a great time in Chicago. I think the temps are supposed to push into the 50's today so you might want to think about the Chicago Architecture Boat Tour.

The Italian Village gets my vote for a place to eat. If you don't see what you're looking for on the menu just ask them to make if for you (I've never been denied). When cigar manufacturers or guys from Cigar Aficionado come to the shop the boss always goes to the Italian Village with them.

We'd love to have you stop by the shop if you get a chance. We're in the lobby of the Chicago Board of Trade building on the corner of LaSalle and Jackson. The toll free number here is: 888-733-5225 If you need directions or anything please feel free to give me a buzz.

Take care,
Eric
