What’s New & Noteworthy

Featured Cigars

Don V (Toro & Gordo)

Exclusive to Norwood Royal — a silky, medium-bodied Honduran puro (Corojo wrapper) and a Nicaraguan-wrapped Maduro, both crafted by Oscar Valladares. Rich, smooth, no aftertaste.

We Know the Feeling.

You walk into a shop with the best of intentions, look around and realize that this is not what you expected but you’re rather desperate, so you walk around the mediocre box that says

humidor but feels more like a closet, make an awkward selection, saunter up to the register, make your purchase and walk out with something “meh.” Nobody knows your name, nobody helps you level up.

We built Norwood to change that.

Founded by a fellow Chicagoan and cigar lover Vick Shah, we serve novices, connoisseurs, retirees and bosses — all with equal attention and genuine respect. Since 2003, Vick has been the place in Chicago for those who know!

He’s not just the guy behind the counter. Vick is a walking encyclopedia of cigar knowledge, a steward of real hospitality, and the reason Norwood Royal feels like family.

A Chicagoan with global taste, Vick opened Norwood Royal to bring premium cigar culture back to the people — the right way.

Don V Coffee – A Ritual Reimagined

From the same obsession that brought you Don V Cigars, we now bring the perfect pairing: Don V Coffee. Hand-roasted in small batches and built for balance, each bag is crafted to complement a cigar — not compete with it. Bold. Smooth. No bitterness. Just flavor worthy of the leaf. Light up. Pour up. Slow down.

The Royal Treatment

Some folks stop by. Others stay a while. If cigars are more than a hobby, you might belong here. If cigars are your passion, then you definitely belong here.

This is not just a shop — it is a Brotherhood and Sisterhood of the Leaf.
