Glendale Heights, IL B&M's

[jfox520]

It looks like I will be traveling to Glendale Heights, IL next week for two weeks. Can anyone recommend a good B&M in the area? I know that Iwan Ries is in Chicago but it looks like I will be about 1 hr. 45 min. from them and I will not have a car.

You won't be far from 8 To 8, the shop that hosts the CPCC (who put on the Chicagoland pipe show every year). I live in Chicago so for my own purposes I actually made a map of all of the decent B&Ms in the area: http://mymaplist.com/maps/v/XFlBtcEe
Hope it helps you out.

@michaelmirza This looks like it is nice and close. Thanks.
Bump to see if anyone else has any input.

Getting to Iwan Ries by car -- even if you had access to one -- is a royal PITA.

I believe METRA rail services Glendale Hts. Check with them @ (630) 568-6212

They can get you downtown in comfort; and a trip to IRC is not to be missed.

IRC is a must visit but for just hanging out 8to8 is good or IMO the best place to kill time is at their Casa de Monticristo location in Countryside. It like going to cigar heaven! 8O
