Nice cigar bar. They close at 9 not 11 like Google say. But the have a great variety, and a very calm atmosphere. Perfect for a good chill with a nice cigar.

Best place to smoke in northern Illinois. Great staff, great customers. When I walked in on a Monday afternoon, the owner greeted me from his chair in the lounge. After walking into the humidor, he came in and asked if I needed any help. He was very friendly. The cigar selection was weird. Rudy’s has a lot of brands, but not many lines within a brand. For example, he had Rocky Patel, but only one size of the Decades. Because they didn’t have what I normally smoke, I can’t say how expensive they are, just that Rudy’s is fairly expensive. However, I've learned that Illinois has a 36% tobacco tax, so the pricey-ness isn't the owner's fault. The lounge chairs were worn but comfortable. $15 “cutting fee” for cigars not purchased there. I highly recommend Rudy's Cigars =)

Owner Mike is very friendly showing me everything I needed to know from showing me very good mild cigars to how to fill butane on my brand new torch lighter. Everything was easy & I was able to start my new journey into cigars. Very friendly patrons and wonderful friendly atmosphere. I’ll definitely be a regular here for sure!

Great local shop/lounge! Great selection, very fair pricing. Seats about 15 comfortably in the store/Lounge Owner is always popping in the walk in humidor asking if you need help choosing the right stick. Gives great advice, doesn’t up sell just to make an extra buck. Just wish he’d open one closer to home 🤣😉

Rudy’s is my place. How could Rockford get by without it? Mike the owner is good people. Upgrades every year have turned this place from a one-time so-so to the kind of class you’d expect in greater Chicagoland.
