La Vita Cigars

Overall I had a good experience on my first trip to this lounge. They had a good selection and prices were fair for a brick & mortar shop. The only «negatives» is no one offered suggestions or asked if I wanted help. Also, seating was limited and somewhat cramped.

I was the lucky recipient of a $ 100 gift card I won from 97.1FM WDRV, so although St Charles is waaaaayyy off my finely-​tuned Oak Park radar, I made the trip here on Black Friday to buy some see-​gars as stocking stuffers.
Their walk-​in humidor is massive, one of the biggest I’ve been in. A dizzying selection of cigars, from inexpensive up through mid-​grade smokes to the legendary Cohibas, you name it and they’ve likely got it. After perusing for a while, Andrew the proprietor introduced himself and gave me some recommendations. He was nice enough to grab a box of Olivia Series ‘G’ from the backroom, since they’re my dad’s favorite and the humidor was out of them.
They featured a ‘buy 3 get 1 free’ promotion on cigars and 25% off on accessories, so I picked up a couple wicked awesome butane torch lighters as a gift for myself. La Vita has a nice lounge area and big screen TV for customers’ enjoyment, as well as an assortment of teas, coffees, and snacks.
Be warned, though, their storefront location is difficult to get to. It’s not directly accessible from Randall Road and you have to navigate a funky 1-​way road to get here, but if you consider yourself a cigar aficionado, you can’t go wrong with these guys.

Look no further than this place for cigars! They have an enormous humidor with anything your heart desires! Comfy couches to sit and smoke and a large TV for game watching. There’s FREE wifi and plenty of tables to sit, smoke, and study, if you so choose. The people here are very friendly also. Drew was great and made me a wonderful coffee.
I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because their sign out front is a little misleading. It says fine cigars, coffee and wine. I saw many many cigars, their coffee is Lavazza, and while good, was the only option, and I didn’t see a wine bottle in the store. Perhaps I didn’t look in the right places, but either way these two things were hidden.
GREAT for cigars, and to hang out, they even allow BYOB so I cam imagine the parties! However, if you’re looking for fine wines, or specialty coffee, head elsewhere. I’ll definitely be coming back for my cigars though! What a collection!

La Vita is a great spot. Staff is knowledgable and willing to help with any questions about cigars or coffee. Stop in monthly for a smoke or supplies and always a great time. Plus this place is one of the few BYOB in St. Charles, so can bring in a nice bottle and enjoy it with a smoke.

I’ve been coming to La Vita for about 8 years now, and as much as the people who work behind the counter may come and go, the atmosphere and cordiality remains the same. Their selection of cigars is one of the best in Illinois, and they use some of the best coffee for their creations of Java goodness. Rarely will you find a place more relaxing and enjoyable than La Vita. Bring your own beer, wine or spirits, and enjoy a great cigar with great company.

Great selection. Been there twice and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Ventilation is a huge plus.

I’ve been in this cigar shop five times. I actually sat and smoked up on their couches a few of those times. BYOB is awesome! Me and a buddy stopped in during one of their cigar events and we didn’t know anyone. However, within a few minutes we got to talking with other people and felt welcomed… That’s a nice experience to have because cigar shops tend to have a close-​knit group of clientele.
They have a nice, fully stocked humidor with cigars ranging in price. They also have some cool beverages or you can order an espresso!
If you find yourself in the area and have time for a smoke, stop in, or buy a few and hit the road.

Great place for smokes. Deep selection. Stay for a smoke, what the big screen and have some coffee. You looking for cigars… they have it. Enjoy

La Vita is one of the nicest cigar shops around. Great atmosphere for a smoke and watching the game. I will miss them now that my move to Dallas is complete

I was visiting St Charles with my wife and college age sons. We always treat ourselves to a relaxing «burnt offering» while vacationing. We didn’t arrive in town until after 9 PM. La Vita’s hours allowed us to visit and to make our selection. My eldest was going to a friend’s bachelor party later that weekend and really didn’t know what cigars others might enjoy. La Vita’s employee that evening walked him through the purchase of several cigars. The selection were varied and the prices were reasonable. The service was excellent. We went back as our vacation ended and I picked up a handful of their house Robustos. The same young man went out of his way to ensure my purchase would remain fresh for several days.

A very nice place that a friend introduced me to the other night. Had a great italian dinner and my buddy suggested going to this place. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The place wasn’t crowded but wasn’t empty. The cigar selection was huge with something for the total newbie and the aficianado. I didn’t try the food/​snacks and only had a cup of decaf (it was good). It was a relaxing time and i enjoyed the cigar and the conversation. I will return!

are you kidding me this is like the ultimate guys hang out specially if you like cigars. Oh yeah its byob too.

I was passing through the area and found this «tucked away» gem of an establishment along Randal Rd. I truly liked this cigar shop and enjoyed the attention I received from the owner.
A knowledgeable owner (not pushy) with very good insight into his assorment and good recommendations.
A spacious humidor stocked with the mid-​range to upper-​range selection of cigars (including the NEW Don Pepin inspired brand)!
A place to smoke in a relaxed atmosphere. I liked the touch of italian espresso (Lavazza)! A decent selection of humidors and cigar essentials (although the merchandising and variety can be improved).
My visit was quite pleasant; filled with good conversation, good recommendations and a very good selection. I will definately patronize this business again!

Few can compare to the Helpful Staff, Quality of products, and Rich full atmosphere La Vita provides.
When you walk in, you are greeted by warm, friendly faces that are pleased to help you with your cigar experience. Every staff member can teach you a thing or two about experiencing cigars.
The environment couldn’t get any better with comfortable couches, tables and chairs to sit back and relax.
Often, the customers are more then happy to share stories and cigars with you.
This is paradise at it’s best as it is BYOB, which means, whether it be Wine, Beer, or Fine Liquor, there’s always a party at La vita.
