About Us
Our Journey, Your Destination
At Northwoods Humidors, our story began in 2014, rooted in a passion for creating moments that transcend the ordinary. Nestled in the heart of Chicago, we emerged not just as a store, but as a sanctuary for aficionados of sophisticated leisure. Our customers find solace in the ritual of cigar smoking, an affordable luxury that momentarily lifts the weight of the world.
Through countless conversations, we've delved deep into the lives of our customers. We've learned that whether it's the business professional juggling the demands of career and family or the seasoned expert savoring newfound freedom, the quest for connection remains universal. It's not just about cigars or the perfect sip of Scotch; it's about the elusive moments of peace or the joy of shared stories in backyards, on golf courses, or across cities.
Crafted Spaces, Timeless Memories
Our discoveries have illuminated the triad of spaces where our patrons forge their experiences. Alone, they seek refuge in the quiet of their backyards or the solitude of a long drive, finding a pause in life's relentless pace. With loved ones, they celebrate and connect, turning backyards and lounges into havens of laughter and camaraderie. And in the company of new acquaintances, they expand their worlds, embracing the serendipity of travel and the thrill of new connections.
Recognizing the diverse needs of our community, we've honed our offerings. From robust humidors that brave the elements to accessories that never falter, we ensure every experience is seamless.
We also launched our own brand, Maxfield, where we design and produce cigar accessories—including our popular Maxfield Torch Flame Lighter, built from years of hands-on product experience and customer feedback.
Our commitment goes beyond the tangible; it's about enabling those cherished moments of reflection, connection, and exploration.
