They have a great selection of cigars at a reasonable price and they are always well stocked

Great selection and good people to hang out with. Always something going on here. The bundles are priced right. It's a fun place to unwind at. read more

Friendly knowledgeable staff, very big selection, decently priced. Whenever I can I'll stop in there!

Rudy's is a good cigar lounge. They have an excellent selection of cigars, the atmosphere is comfortable and the people are friendly. Adult beverages are allowed as well, because sometimes you need to pair that cigar with a nice whiskey. If you are in Rockford, check it out. read more

I went there for a Cigar and Bourbon tasting that was being held there by my financial advisor. I haven't smoked a cigar in ten years and had never been to a cigar place so I didn't know what to expect. The cigars that I tried was one that was a medium and another that was a robust blend. I have to say they were really good. The biggest surprise for me was the ventilation in the place. It was outstanding. There were about 20+ people at the place smoking cigars and the smoke was not a problem at all. Kudos to how Mike has the ventilation set up because it was wonderful. I'm not a cigar person but I would recommend this place to anyone who is as the owner, Mike is super knowledgeable and runs a very nice establishment. read more

Owner Mike is a great guy....it's a quaint little place...decent selection...comfortable seating....BYOB is super convenient...

Great place to sit and burn a stick with like minded people. One thing I noticed right off the bat was how good the ventilation system is. The location is not huge so it would be really easy to become overwhelmed by smoke if they didn't have a great system. The humidor was well stocked and the cigar I selected was priced well and the humidity seemed perfect. Unfortunately we got there late so we only had one stick but I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. If you are looking for a place to relax, watch a little tv or have a friendly conversation Rudy's Cigars is the place. read more

Great selection and the man who checked me out was friendly and helpful. However, their website and yelp page says they accept cash and credit cards but after buying over a hundred dollars worth of cigars and stuff, he points to a sign that says cash or checks only. I was visiting Rockford from out of state and made a special trip to this shop which turned out to be a total waste of time. read more

Great cigar collection, and nice place to chill and wind down. Best in town. Very informative and helpful staff.

Great find in Rockford area. Nice selection, good prices and good people. Highly recommend.

Friendly and helpful staff. Love the Rudy's house cigars. Will go back soon. Strongly recommend to anyone looking to get into the cigar game. read more

They offer a wide variety of cigars at reasonable prices. Additionally, the manager/owner was incredibly helpful and friendly. Will return again for sure! read more

I first visited Rudy's in 2014. I was not impressed. The humidor was sparse, mainly consisting of cheaper cigars. The person working seemed disinterested, and the place was submerged in a thick fog of smoke. Flash forward 2 years. I found out Rudy's is under new ownership. The new owner, Mike, is very friendly and I enjoyed talking while we enjoyed a smoke. The humidor has a much more broad selection of smokes including some higher end sticks. It is still not the largest selection by any means, but considering the location and demographics, I'm not complaining! The ventilation seems improved or at least working. There is no bar or drink options available but I believe it was mentioned that this was something that could change down the road. It is BYOB which isn't a terrible option ultimately. Overall, I like the new direction of the shop. This will be my regular winter hangout read more

Was in Rockford for a wedding and I always try to find a good cigar shop where I can sit smoke. I was lucky to find Rudy's Cigars and the owner, Mike (Talk to him and he'll tell you the story.) Great place, great selection and excellent vibe. read more

I just went to Rudy's and was treated just fine. I'm new to the cigar smoking experience. The gentleman working helped with a couple suggestions. I will definitely be going back. read more

Beautiful shop, clean and comfortable. They have comfortable leather seating and there were a couple guys in there enjoying a smoke. The owner or manager was friendly and helpful. Good selection and prices. read more

I found Rudys Cigars about a year ago after being dissatisfied with the quality of cigars at another shop. Nice walk-in humidor, great selection of cigars at a good price. Not only did I find a great cigar selection but I also found a fabulous smoking lounge. A comfortable homey environment with a great bunch of fellow cigar smokers. It has become my second home. I visit almost daily. Great social environment where everyone is welcome. Fun discussions and sports on the TV. Its a BYOB establishment, so you can bring the beverage of your choice, which I do! Only place where you can smoke and drink outside of your home! And its not just a 'guys' place, a number of women aficionados also frequent Rudys. And they now offer private humidor lockers to store your private stash. They have quarterly cigar events with the major cigar brands. I highly recommend you stop buy and give Rudys a try. read more

See all

Great selection at very reasonable prices, friendly staff and always interesting conversations. One of my favorite shops and hangouts!

I've been in here a number of times at their old location and their new location. Each time is more of a disappointment. It seems the place is really just a front for the owner to sit around and smoke cigars. As much as I respect that idea, customer service is still something I value. The owner has been rude and condescending every time I walk in the door. My fiance went in by herself and was treated with the same disrespect. If you want a good product and good selection, hike over to Tinder Box on the south east side of town. It's worth the drive to not put up with the jokers at Rudy's. read more

A great place to buy AND smoke a cigar. Show up with your social side because I've had great conversations every time. Owner is not a "politician" but once you talk for a few times, you'll feel like old friends. read more

First time coming here and will never be back. The owner or employee there looks like he's super angry at the world. Try smiling, you'll get more business. read more

I recently went back to Rudy's because I was offered a $10 gift certificate to try them again under a new owner. The selection is pretty much the same which is nice but the customer service has improved greatly. I was greeted as I entered the store and offered assistance if needed. He checked my ID as I paid and thanked me for my business. If I'm ever on this side of town and I'm in need of a cigar Rudy's will definitely be on my radar. read more

Great resource for the areas best cigars! A nice place to get together with other like minded connoisseurs to enjoy a good smoke.

Hadn't been here since they moved from Edgebrook. New owner is a pleasant change from previous. Very friendly. Very knowledgeable. I ALWAYS prefer supporting local. I will definitely come back! read more

This is the ONLY real cigar shop in the Stateline area. Also, the ONLY shop that actually has a place to sit down, watch a game or chat while having a cigar. The walk-in humidor has a decent selection. Friendly owner, manager, and a real haven in the winter! read more

Went during business hours and store was closed and nobody would answer the phone when I called. When he came out and opened doors I went in because I was looking for a wedding gift and I have no experience buying cigars so thought he would be helpful when choosing, but was the complete opposite. So I went elsewhere. read more

Will not go there again. Selection is very bad and prices are too high. I have been here a few times and it gets worse every time. Staff is is rude and short with you like you do not belong. If you are looking for cigars in Rockford go to Tinderbox, their selection is much bigger and prices are more reasonable. read more
