Buck14 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 HERF #4 - CHICAGO HABANOS SOCIETY - LIVE THREAD!!! We are CRAZY in Chicago and this is the invite to our next HERF! All FoH members are welcome! We picked a Saturday in the weekend right in the middle of Superbowl and Valentine's Day weekends, In honor of the SuperBowl and the ridiculous coverage of it, I’ve decided to start our LIVE THREAD about 5+ hours before it kicks off!!!! IT’S GAMEDAY!!! So many choices, so little time! Location: Big Mike's Cigars in Skokie, IL Address: Big Mike's Cigars 8016 Lincoln Ave, Skokie, IL 60077 (847) 675-2447 https://g.co/kgs/A3Kd12 Date: Saturday, February 8th, 2020 Time: 1pm to Late We will be there well into the night! For a long time! So no worries if you want to show up a little later. Food: Smoque BBQ (https://smoquebbq.com/) Josh @inter4alia and I have decided to cater in Smoque BBQ Beef Brisket for the CHS HERF. This is our treat to CHS! We will have Baked Beans, Mac 'n Cheese, Cornbread and Mini Buns as well! !!FOOD WILL BE DELIVERED AROUND 5PM!! and open to all CHS HERF Members and Guests. Specifics: 1. We can bring in our Cuban cigars and smoke them all day and night! 2. You may bring in your own alcohol to drink. They have glassware to use there for any beers, liquor or wine we bring in. 3. They have a large variety of non-alcoholic drinks for sale. Entrance Fee / Cost / Minimum Spend Per Person: Big Mike’s has been kind enough to allow us to come into their establishment, take up valuable space and allow us to smoke Cuban cigars that we obviously cannot purchase there. We worked out a deal where everyone attending is asked to buy a couple of sticks from the humidor as an “entrance fee.” Or you can just pay a $20 flat fee or make other purchase(s) totaling $20 or more. This is an incredibly low minimum spend per person for a HERF! This applies to EVERYONE who attends the CHS HERF!: CHS & FoH Members, Guests, Smokers and Non-Smokers. This is my local B&M and I love this place and have a special relationship with the ownership / management to be able to host this special event so please remember to throw them a few bucks for extending us this courtesy! Attendees: Please reply in this thread to us know if you will be able to attend so that we can give Mike's a head count and reserve the right number of tables. Summary of Probable Attendees: 12 Members Confirmed; 1 Maybe; 6 Guests Running Attendee List: @Buck14 @inter4alia @lovethehaze @Chibearsv @SigSauer516 (+5) @Ry27 (maybe) @mdido @5thStarChicago @kevpro @Diabolicalpherpher @NewFatMike (+1 Mich) @foursite12 @Inthestix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medzikone Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Guys I don't want to create new topic for that question. I'm currently in the Loop till Saturday.

lovethehaze Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Go see Phil at Updown in old town. My fav spot in the city but that’s my 2cents. He’s fot the N1 and N3 if u haven’t had them yet plus lots of great stuff Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter4alia Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I second the recommendation for Up Down Cigar in Old Town. Phil is a great BOTL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigSauer516 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Agree with Up Down. Phil is a great guy. I assume there will be some trading going on. What's everyone bringing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck14 Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Everyone is welcome to do whatever they want regarding sticks. No pressure. I generally bring quite a few sticks as do some other guys. Other people just bring a few to smoke. But, if you are interested in trading there will be serious opportunity. My motto is come loaded for bear!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
