Georgetown Tobacco

Awesome spot! Worth checking out if you’re in the area

Buyer beware, they will sell you old stale product. And then argue. I love lanceros and the manager placed two that I picked in a bag and I purchased them. Later back at the hotel, upon inspection, they were hard and brittle and upon touching them they began cracking and unraveling.
The next day I returned and faced an angry, unapologetic manager. He was very nice to sell me product and a beast when confronted with hard stale returns. Finally he replaced them at the urging of a co-​worker who agreed they were awful.
I have never been poorly treated in any cigar store ever especially when their product was bad. I asked for a replacement and they could not need find a good one. But they are still for sale hoping travelers miss the opportunity to return.
Smoking area is but a few chairs in a corner. Now worth going out of your way at all. Product is rather limited as well though they do carry 4 or 5 different lanceros which you do not see often.

Great shop! Extremely
Knowledgeable folks. I went in knowing what I wanted, ended up with a suggestion that made my list of top 10 smokes. Highly recommend.

Nice ambiance, kind staff, smoking lounge, wide range of pipes, pipes tobacco and cigars

As a pipe-​smoking enthusiast, this place should be what Mecca is to the Islamic faith. With an Old World atmosphere, this establishment reeks of high quality tobacco products and boasts other treasures as well. Ranging from intricately carved and handmade walking canes to other fine tobacco accessories.
The service can’t be beat! I’ve gone in on 5 separate occasions and have had different representatives each time. They all have unique recommendations that exude professionalism from start to finish. Not to mention, they let you sample before you buy to make sure you’re satisfied with your purchase. The prices are very reasonable too! A must-​visit if you’re into tobacciana.

Love it here. Georgetown Tobacco is my happy place in DC. Great, friendly staff, lots of amazing cigars, and the ambience is very warm and welcoming. You can smoke right inside! I think if GT served scotch I’d never leave!

Awesome décor! Large selection of cigars, friendly staff and a place to sit and enjoy your cigar. It was a bit on the smoky side, but that could be because people were already in there smoking. Definitely a place to check out!

Always friendly and helpful and no bullshit. They will tell you what they like and don’t like. They are great and fabulous. No reason to go anywhere else in town. I am a Georgetown tobacco loyalist. They have my business for life.

Vintage stores selling fine tobacco products are getting harder and harder to find. But Georgetown Tobacco is one of those eclectic shops in the heart of downtown that sells a wide range of cigars, pipes, walking sticks and fedoras. It has a knowledgeable staff and provides a place where one can enjoy a smoke while he is waiting on his lady to finish shopping. I must note that several ladies came in and bought a cigar while I was there. It has a regular clientele, but is an oasis in the DC metro area for cigar and pipe purchases and enjoyment. I highly recommend.

A nice little cigar store. An excellent selection from all price ranges, a few cheapies, lots in the middle, and several super-​premium cigars such as the Ashton ESB. It has a decent humidor and lots of stock behind and beneath the counter. The best stuff is up front. The walk in humidor is mostly lower end. Staff is helpful and quick. They even recommended Old Glory across the street as a nearby place to smoke a cigar and have a beverage.

I am not a smoker so my review is for the buying process and second hand feedback from the recipient of my purchase.
This store is my go to place in DMV for fine cigars. I generally buy cigars to gift to my uncle. They have a wide range to choose from and it does seem overwhelming at first. But the salespeople are knowledgeable and always ready to help and make good recommendations for my budget.
Their recommendation have always been good and I have received good feedback from my uncle for the choice of cigars!

Not too bad. Prices were better than I anticipated. Selection was alright I suppose. If I were in G-​town and really wanted a smoke I would go back but I wouldnt make it a destination.

Maybe they’ve had some turnover on staff, or I got lucky, but I had a great experience here. A younger guy took the time to give me several options with a vague start (I need one that’s mild and one that’s medium). The two more regular smokers we were with seemed pretty impressed with their prices and selection.

I rather enjoyed my visit here. I came with three other people while sight-​seeing and shopping on vacation. We wanted cigars to enjoy in the evenings at the hotel. Two of my friends are experienced cigar aficionados. They were impressed and raved about the prices and service.
I felt a little out of place, but the staff actually pulled me in, and I ended up buying a couple of cigars to try out. They steered me to reasonably priced options rather than trying to up-​sell me to the expensive stuff because they knew I was new at this. That was very nice of them!
All in all, we bought about 15 cigars between us, and the prices were very reasonable.
It’s not the best store I’ve been in during my short time of smoking, but they had a decent selection for their size. Couple that with their prices and friendly staff, and I was a happy customer.

I have never been made to feel so unwelcome in a store. Ever. Bar none.
A friend and I quietly walked in and went to the counter to get clove cigarettes. Despite the fact that the two older men working there clearly noticed our presence, they made no attempt to serve us. I eventually managed to get one to come over and politely said:
«Can I have a pack of the Djarum Specials?»
A blank stare and a few seconds later, he barked, «What kind of Djarums??»
«The Specials…»
He throws them on the counter, took my money and literally left the room.
My roommate attempted to buy rolling papers. The other man in the store glared at him for a full 20 seconds after he asked where he could find the papers and then gestures wildly into a corner of the room and walked away as well.
I’m glad to see that other people have had the same experience so I don’t feel so alone in the staff’s clear hatred of us. I will not be returning.

Best place to get cigars. My dad goes here multiple times a month because he believes they are the best and the people who work there know what they are doing in regards to cigars and tobacco.
They were really helpful when I was trying to pick out cigars for my dad and friends. They didn’t talk down toe or try and oversell crappy cigars. Definitely worth checking out

I walked in. No one said hello. I was looking for cloves so I didn’t need help, but no one greeted me. And I came in smiling because I was happy to have found this place after having a bad day. I even looked a guy directly in the eyes — who was apparently too busy shining his pipe to smile back or acknowledge me whatsoever.
I probably looked around and stopped at glass cases for 2 – 3 minutes before one guy asked if I needed help. I said, no I’m just looking for now, which was true because I got so into the ash trays, the pipes, the pens, the lighters, etc, I wanted to look for a bit.
When I was done perusing I stopped to look for the cloves on the wall of tobacco for what seemed forever. Now at this point, I could have used some help. I think my frustration was apparent but I couldn’t seem to find anyone who wasn’t busy once I decided to ask for help. Except for one guy who walked past me 4 times and ignoring me before I could get his attention and have him ring me up for the cloves i finally found on the shelf.
He seemed disinterested and more annoyed that I had bothered to buy the cloves than i could have imagined. I get that he might have been in the middle of something, but just be nice to me. Please.
So pretty much every employee in the store was rude to me. And I know they aren’t rude to everyone cause other people/​men who walked in behind me got a hey, hello, how are ya’ while I got nadda, as far as a greeting goes.
So the place has good stuff. And maybe they just don’t like me cause I look like I could be in college and I might waste their time. But I would only go in for specifics and not try to browse or go there to ask questions.

A Unilocal friend of mine suggested I go in here to find a venetian mask for a masquerade party I was attending for NYE. When she first told me to go into a cigar store to purchase a mask, I thought she was surely mistaken, but she insisted.
So I went into this place blindly and let the aroma of the cigars in the streets to lead me into this shop. Right when you walk in, immediately to the right of you is a counter, strictly dedicated to beautiful masks, beautiful EXPENSIVE masks. The most modestly priced mask was priced at $ 45. I purchased my husbands mask for $ 55 and the sales man mentioned that we could also use the masks as wall décor after using it, and thats exactly what I’ve done with my $ 55 mask, hang it up on my wall. Hopefully we get to use the mask again.

I came to Georgetown Tobacco in search of the elusive Swedish Snus, luckily they had a small selection. The store is a classy, old school style cigar store with a humidifier room (I don’t smoke so I don’t know the technical term).
I was approached by a well-​dressed young employee smoking a big cigar. I had the feeling that he wouldn’t want to help me because I wasn’t interested in cigars (as I’ve encountered at other stores), but I was beyond wrong. I wish I knew his name so I could compliment him. He was super friendly, very knowledgeable about Swedish snus and helped me find the best choice for me based on my flavor and strength preference. One pack of 24 pouches cost me $ 6, same as normal prices online.
I know nothing about cigars, but it seems like they have quite a massive selection — if I ever have the need to buy a cigar, I’ll certainly choose this place.

Cigars aside, this is a beautiful store. An absolute beauty of a store. Rich woods, broad tobacco leaves hanging from the rafters, and what seems to be an endless supply of cigars.
Boyfriend and I went in here for some cigars and to look for a travel case. The man we spoke with was really helpful. It turned out that the travel case Boyfriend saw is no longer made, but the man explained the benefits of all the travel cases they carried. They ranged in price and size to suite a variety of needs.
Since I don’t smoke, and couldn’t care less about what they were discussing, I wandered around looking at the cases and the store in general. everyone should take a look in there to get or gift a cigar. A great place in Georgetown.
