La Vita Cigars — Local services in St. Charles

Love this place. Very comfortable cafe feel with six leather loungers and maybe 5-6 tables, along with a row of high top chairs on one side. Free wifi. Great place to meet a buddy or bring a laptop and get some work done. It's not the type of cigar lounge where you open the door and everyone stares, it's very casual. Ventilation is decent, but you're wife is still gonna know. They serve coffee and tea and assorted drinks, also a BYO policy on alcoholic beverages, which is a huge plus.

Cigar selection is pretty good. If you know online pricing well, you'll find some ok prices on the mid-higher range cigars, and as added value, everything in their humidor (that I have tried) has good age, which is very valuable for nicer cigars. The burn on everything I have tried has been perfect. So if you want to try a single nice cigar without the time and hassle of aging it, this...

It's been awhile since my first review, and I will have to say now it's the pits. Limited selection of top brands. What's there is dusty and what is not is over priced. Dana and Margaret are fantastic always helpful and welcoming. They are the only reason to go there. Great coffee!!! But that is not what you want in a cigar lounge. If you are a weekly customer spending on average 30 dollars a visit you don't really matter to this place. I feel I am a pretty good judge on this as I have been to just about every cigar lounge in the area, know the owners and visit lounges two to three times a week. I know most of the owners of these places and have to say with certainty this one is one to pass on. (Original review three years ago) Nice place. Seemed to have a good selection of cigars. I was looking for pipe stuff not much there, but it's a cigar...

I stopped by this cigar store while I was in st-charles and I was very happy with the selection. I wound up buying an Ashton ESV. What a wonderful cigar. the prices here we're not bad considering the tobacco tax in Illinois is 35%. The staff there was very helpful, very knowledgeable, and overall very helpful and friendly. Although I did not stay and smoke a cigar there the atmosphere looked very friendly and inviting. Next time I'm in st-charles I will definitely stop by sit down and have a nice smoke and relax. You can't beat the selection and the prices were good overall...
