The year is 1921. The place, Chicago. While Prohibition kept most of the country dry as dust, in this toddlin’ town the bathtub gin flowed, and the speakeasies roared to the beat of a new kind of music. It was the Jazz Age. A time of abundance, decadence, and luxury. While Al Capone ruled the great city from his penthouse on the lake, an ambitious young man named Jack Schwartz opened the doors to his new establishment, and a legend was born. No password was needed to get his Chicago Cigar Shop, and the wares were strictly legal.
Word spread quickly, and Jack Schwartz Importer soon became a Chicago staple. Now in our 79th year of operations, we at Jack Schwartz Importer look back with pride on our rich heritage. As a new century dawns, we look forward to serving you in the same time honored tradition.
Jack Schwartz is your honored Chicago Cigar Store.
