Utopia Cigars

Nothing could have prepared me for this hole in the wall. MAN … talk about phony. I pick up a vsg enchantment, went to pay… $ 25 dollars. «For this little guy?» «Yea its a ESG». Funny, because the cigars arent priced in the humidor, and Ashton doesnt make a perfecto ESG. Its an 10 dollar cigar. But hey, what does this kid know, charge him whatever I want. «Have any Aging Room?» «No.» «I mean why would you its just a number 1 cigar on aficionado «Wowowowow… now thats some phony shit, would never and have never come back.

Awesome Cigar shop!!!
I was in town on business from Dallas. Kevin and the guys treated me like a regular. This shop has a great selection and great prices. Wish you guys were in Dallas.

I went in looking for cigars to buy for my upcoming wedding. The staff was super helpful in explaining my options and setting me up with some high quality cigars.
I was impressed with the place, and it definitely seemed like a good place to come hang out.

Great Place for any type of cigar your looking for and very friendly people

This is hands down, the best cigar lounge ever. The prices are fair, the quality is superb, everybody is friendly.
If you have any questions about what to smoke, they have the answer. Great place to buy one, a box, and even sit down and enjoy. they even let you BYOB.

I have been going to Utopia Cigars for probably 10 years now. They always have a great selection and the staff is always very helpful. The prices are reasonable too. Although I moved farther away I stop in every time I am in the area. They have cigar parties every now and again and they are a great time.
The Utopia Blue is a great cigar.

My favorite Cigar shop in the city. This place is great for everyone if you are an aficionado or just like to have a cigar once in a while like I do. When I do go in I never know what I really want and the owner is more than happy to lead me in the right direction, my wife has even stopped in here and came back with a great selection for our anniversary one year.
It’s more than a cigar shop, they frequently have events for customer appreciation in addition to their «Cigar Parties» when you sign up for their email list. They have a few couches and tvs for you to relax and have a smoke with a couple friends. Great shop that I highly recommend.
The parking lot is a little small as it is shared with multiple businesses, but there are usually spots available. If anything there is always street parking available.

Went to utopia about a week ago to pick up some cigars for my boyfriends birthday. I was a little nervous about going in since I had absolutely no idea what I was looking for but the guy working was extremely helpful and went the extra mile to make my experience easy and painless. I will definitely be recommending Utopia to all my girlfriends that are in need of cigars but are too scared to go into a cigar shop

Great place. Been coming here since I was 21. I am 29 now. Always worried about being treated differently because of my age, but I never felt that way. The owner is great and now the son runs the place. It is still a great place to check out. Open late which is nice. They have great parties! There is a parking lot! It is a bit small and tight because it is shared with other places. Nice couches to sit and relax and watch TV. What else is there to say? Stop by and see it yourself!

I came to Chicago for work, did a local search for cigar lounges and found this great place if you want a great selection of cigars and even better prices then look no more. Kevin the owner will treat you like a guest, I drove around to other cigar lounges but service makes this lounge #1.

My fiancé’ went in Thursday to buy her father a gift. The sales man went above and beyond in helping her. He spent the time helping her pick out the perfect gift. Very knowlagble, and informed on the types of cigars they offer, flavor, history etc… I have been to a few cigar stores before, but this one is the only one I will return to or send her to. Highly reccommend

I wanted to give an update to my previous review.
Just when I thought Utopia couldn’t get any better they surprise me with even more great hospitality, atmosphere, products and service.
Utopia often has «Cigar Parties» that they host in their shop. It is a chance to meet the reps for the different cigar brands, learn about cigars coming out and other things, but most of all, you get to spend some time with great people and get some great deals on products.
They even have raffles and food and drinks.
Last week, my buddies and I went in to hang out and we each walked out with a box of cigars and a bunch of products. We bought two boxes of cigars, one was an above average box. We also bought lighters, raffle tickets, where we one an ashtray, and my buddy bought his first high quality humidor. We were given great deals on everything and I am convinced that you can not get a better deal anywhere else. Every time I buy something here I walk away with no regrets and I feel confident that I received the best price and the best products. Kevin has even helped me find products that I could not find anywhere else, and for cheaper prices than I had expected.
We can’t stop coming back to Utopia. We are there every week now. The more I go, the more I am impressed. The regulars that frequent the place are a great group of guys.
Something that I really noticed the other day is that no matter what time of day or night, there are all kinds of people that come in there. Int he few hours that we were there, I seen all kinds of men and women coming in of all ages. There were regular blue collar workers, white collar workers, college students, retired men, cops and all kinds of people. there is a very diverse group of customers and regulars and everybody loves this place!
My friends and i have come a long way on cigars and knowledge of them and we owe it all to Utopia Cigars and their owner Kevin. We get weekly e-​mails telling us about specials and new products and we have very high quality stuff. the knowledge and help that Kevin has always given us is priceless. He is our go-​to cigar man.
So stop in and see Kevin and all the other great people here. I promise you, if you are a cigar fan, you will feel right at home at Utopia.

This place is fantastic and the Utopia house blend is a great value.

Don’t miss an opportunity to smoke one at one the great NWside hangouts. The owner, the staff, and the regulars, well they may all be a little peculiar but they incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and friendly. I say that knowing I am spending more time there with every passing day and beginning to resemble one of the regulars.
If your looking find a great cigar and to be able to smoke it, this one of the last places in Chicago you can smoke in the shop. Pick a comfortable couch, watch some television or hit the WIFI.
Recommended with a smile on my face and a cloud of smoke over my head.

Great Place people welcome you in large variety of cigars very knowledgeable able to help bought my first cigar there. variety of people cops, bikers, all sorts very friendly. Special functions from the suppliers, parties and rolling demo’s very cool smoking fresh rolled cigars Prices are great small parking lot but worth the wait or walk if you have to

I love this place! Great people, great service and the best cigar selection and prices around. Stop in for a Utopia Blue, their very tasty house brand. Sure it can get alittle smoky inside… it’s a cigar shop. If you want, ask for a chair to sit outside and they will gladly set one up for you. If you need help picking a cigar, they will be more than happy to find the right cigar for your taste and price.

The people in the Utopia Cigar lounge remind of the characters from the television show, Cheers. Every time I stop in, I see the same people, sitting in the same place and they are usually slinging good natured insults at each other. In other words, It’s my kind of place.
Utopia offers a wide variety of high end cigars at a reasonable price. If you can’t find you are looking for, ask Kevin about the good stuff he keeps in back. He stashes the limited edition Cigars away to make sure all of his customers have the opportunity to buy at least one. They also have a wonderful house brand of hand rolled cigars. The wrapper may look generic, but they offer a delicious smoke that won’t dent your wallet.
My favorite aspect of Utopia is the smoking area. It’s not fancy or pretty, but it’s a wonderful place to light one up and relax. Utopia is the perfect place to enjoy a ballgame while puffing away on your favorite Cigar. The lounge has a wonderful vibe. I really enjoy winding down with a good smoke after a hard day of work and Utopia is the perfect place to do it.
The bottom line on Utopia Cigar: Good people, a top notch selection of Cigars and reasonable pricing makes Utopia a great destination for Cigars lovers. The lounge at Utopia is one of my favorite places to enjoy a good cigar. If you are looking for a gift for the smoker in your life, or just to relax after a hard day, head on down to Utopia. You will be glad you stopped in.

I ran a tobacco shop in Lakeview for a number of years. It is hard for me to like other tobacco shops because of this. I have certain expectations in regards to product knowledge, variety, display, ventilation, cleanliness, humidor temps, and the overall vibe that I get off of the store clerks. Many places are snobby, and being a woman I have been treated the same way that I do when buying a car in both nice and divey establishments.
I have been to Utopia few times now. My first experience wasn’t a great one The smoking area was jam packed with Bikers and it was hard to breathe. (I say Bikers, so that you know it’s laid back, not pretentious. I personally have no issue with them… I actually like them.) I did not expect the clerk to be the guy sprawled on the couch with crutches, I felt bad asking him to get up. He was friendly, but I did not browse around and got out fast.
I went back there tonight to purchase filtered tubes for RYO’s. I felt like I was in a completely different store. I had total deja vu. It reminded me off the small tobacco shops in Greenwich Village. It made me feel like a kid again.
First off, kudos for being open late. 10pm!!! Woohoo! I was also pleasantly surprised to see that the ventilation issue was fixed. Store was clean, and the woman behind the counter was friendly as well. I could not believe how inexpensive they are. Their prices were great. As a side note, they do not carry cigarettes. If you are a RYO smoker, they only carry Drum and a packet of generic brand tobacco. No Peter Stokkeby. I am definitely going to return and check out their humidor next.
