The Gentleman's Cigar Society is a Peoria, IL
based group that promotes the cigar culture and
lifestyle.  They hold monthly meetings aimed at
giving cigar enthusiasts a venue to enjoy their
stogies without worrying about offending anyone.  
The group was founded in 2000 by a group of
faculty and staff at Eureka College, and quickly
grew in size.  The Havana Cigar Fest, precursor to
the Midwest Cigar Summit, grew out of the GCS,
and it's members have been invaluable in
promoting and managing the event.  If you're
looking for a good group of guys, and even a few
ladies, to smoke a cigar with, be sure to check out
the next meeting of the Gentleman's Cigar Society.  
You won't regret it!
