Kenny the King

This place is great if you are looking for any specialty alcohol. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. There is also a very nice lounge set up below the store where you can relax and try the different liquors and wine available. Would be great for a guy's night.

I'm not sure there is a better variety and assortment of fine spirits and cigars within 100 miles. If another place like this does exist, it likely requires a dress code. I only snapped a pic of a single wall, I can't even show the humidor, it's too vast.

Your not going here for bargains your going here because you can make one trip and get all sorts of fine goods or stumble upon something you never would have known about. You may pay a premium on some items but that is the cost of dealing in niche or limited scarce goods, especially in such a location. Get some Mellow Corn and Backwoods if you want to penny pinch.

Was looking for a box of cigars for a guys weekend. Stopped at Binny's first, and was disappointed in the small selection. My wife actually suggested "the cigar store on 120". Found Kenny the King, and was impressed by the selection; both cigars and liquor. The humidor is huge! Met Kenny's son who showed me around the store, humidor and lounge downstairs. Ended up buying a box and getting a credit towards one of the upcoming tastings. Brought a friend in a few days later and he ended up buying a high end bottle of wine and whiskey. We also had a drink and a cigar downstairs, outside, Had a nice talk with Kenny and his wife. My buddies and I just ended up smoking some loose cigars I also brought to our trip. Since I don't have a humidor, I wanted to return the box I bought from Kenny. Wasn't sure how this would turn out? He took the box of cigars back, no questions asked, and I got a full refund. For those that state the prices are high, I would respond, I don't mind paying a bit more for friendly service. His family treated me, and my friend like family. Will definitely be going back!

My 1st ever visit today. What an experience. Kenny shook my hand and introduced me to his store. He asked if I needed help with my cigar search. Easy to spend a lot of money when he has such premium cigars in stock at good prices. I mentioned I was a Jack Daniel collector, he showed me the basement lounge for smoking with a whole wine and Bourbon/whiskey drink bar. He was very nice and proud of his place. I will be back here with friends and family. Can't wait for next visit and smoke session.

A true gem. I stood in the humidor, in a state of slack jawed astonishment...
Kenny is an outstanding host, and made my visit an excellent experience.

Outside is deceptive because when you walk in it appears to be a liquor store with no cigars. Then Kenny turns on the lights and opens the door to an impressive selection of cigars. This selection exceeds the choices presented by the majority of Chicago area shops.
He does have a lounge downstairs that is adequate and comfortable just not fancy.

Love, love, love Kenny the King's Tobacco and liquor store. Kenny and his wife treat their customers like family. Great wine selection and my husband loves the humidor - one of the biggest in the midwest!

First time stopping in for a few cigars to fill up my humidor. Walked in expecting to find a normal little humidor with a mediocre cigar selection, man was I wrong! This has to be the biggest and we'll balanced humidor I have ever seen. If you aren't sure what to get just have a chat with Kenny and you will be in good hands. Can't wait to stop in and try the tasting bar. Thank for a great cigar buying experience!

Was in today for the first time and what and amazing selection of Cigars. Being new to smoking cigars it was a little overwhelming, but the clerk (I wish I had asked his name) was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions as well as making some very good choices of where to start. I will definitely ne a returning customer.

This shop is fantastic! His humidor is gigantic and has a great selection of all types of cigars that will please anyones tastes and wants. Not to mention the largest selection of excellent pipe tobacco and excellent spirits to make your experience long remembered 👍I'll be Back!

Kenny has the biggest humidor around and the selection is great. I've never had a bad experience there and I've been buying from him for years. I've never been a regular cigar smoker but I know my sticks and I smoke about 20 a year. I have no reason to shop online so I always go straight to Kenny's.

I've been to every other cigar store around. I travel a lot locally for work and have always tried the nearest spots to see what they have. None compare.

So as I check his hours to see if I have time to go grab a heater for me and my pastor, I thought I'd leave Kenny a good word. You won't regret buying from the King.

Huge humidor with and amazing selection. When I'm working in the area I always try to swing through. He always has some great deals going on if you're looking to restock the humidor at home too.

For me I like to stop in and peruse a bit before getting one or two sticks for my drive home. I have bought a few boxes from time to time as well. There are often some hard to find cigars stacked amongst the shelves.

Great scotch selection as well as other liquors. Also large cigar selection. Kenny is a really nice guy who always remembers me by first name which is nice. He hosts tastings and other events.
Some of which give you the opportunity to try things you may not otherwise get the opportunity to tast without breaking the bank. Thank you Kenny!

Great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Really a hidden gem, you really wouldn't believe how good the selection is until you walk in. A massive cigar humidor and lots of great liquor. Fair prices and helpful happy service

Kenny is the KING. Best cigar selection in Lake or McHenry Counties. Walk-in humidor is amazing. Has a very nice selection of high end scotch as well. Very knowledgeable and is kind, courteous and informative to novice and seasoned cigar smokers alike.

I purchase all my tobacco products here as well as a few friends ive sent his way. Friendly service and good prices. Love the lounge. It feels comfortable, like kicking back with friends.

Kenny the King has an extremely wide selection of cigars, pipe tobacco, and even various spirits/alcohol. There is a plethora of cigars to choose from as the walk in humidor is MASSIVE. A fine inventory and a must see store for any and all of your tobacco needs.

Kenny is truly the king! Friendly family owned spot that has anything you can ask for with reasonable prices. 5 stars easy

Loved it! The owner is so friendly. A lot of unique finds for different spirits and wine.
