If you find yourself wandering the historic streets of D.C., Georgetown Tobacco is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you step through the door, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between old-world sophistication and genuine warmth. What truly sets this establishment apart, however, is the unparalleled customer service. I had the pleasure of being assisted by Teresa Wessling, and "excellent" doesn't even begin to cover it. She is truly amazing; she made me feel like family rather than just another customer. I could not have been more pleased with the care and attention I received throughout my visit. For the aficionados, the selection here is top-tier. They boast what has to be the largest selection of Padrón cigars I've seen, covering everything from the classic lines to the most sought-after anniversaries. But don't leave without trying their exceptional house blend, the Caucus cigar. It is a standout smoke that holds its own against any major label. Whether you are a seasoned smoker or a curious newcomer, the hospitality and expertise here make it a world-class destination. Highly recommended! read more

Excellent service!!!!! Great selection of premium cigars. Great recommendation for local cigars (PG) Great prices on premium cigars. I finally made it into Georgetown Tobacco!!! I'm from NC but, I've visited DC countless times over the years and I have walked past GT plenty of times. On this trip to DC my wife and I were strictly shopping and relaxing so what better way to relax than to pick up a couple of cigars. I'm so glad we stopped in I was first being helped by a young man who did a wonderful job. After asking a couple of questions Teresa stepped in to give me a personal concierge experience that was outstanding she made recommendations and answered any questions I had. We shared some laughs and talked about the history of Georgetown Tobacco, I picked up some really good sticks that I can't wait to try out. I will definitely be stopping back in when I'm in town and I'll also purchase some online to get shipped to me. read more

This tobacco shop is well stocked with cigars, cases, lighters, fuel and ashtrays. I've been looking for a travel cigar case and lighter for some time. I found a perfect set; a Brikard & Co. It's pretty dope cause there was a limited amount of cases made in the world; 250 to be exact. I got piece no. 86 It's a nice wood grain with a hold looking top. The lighter is slim which makes great for travel. As a female cigar smoker that's still a novice; I was glad to see a woman that worked here. I was more comfortable being guided by her as she showed me different travel cases. I'll be stopping by every time I'm in the area. read more

This place used to be okay. Now they are awful. Terrible customer service and bad attitudes. Go if you like being ignored and treated like a rube. read more

I am not a regular smoker. But I am an occasional user of tobacco products, cigars and pipes. When I want to indulge, I visit Georgetown Tobacco. I am writing to urge others to do the same. The reason is there is something about an old school bricks and mortar shop, a physical establishment with a proprietor who cares about the products and has expertise. We will be sorry if the internet is all we can turn to, as useful as it may be to order online (and you can do that here). I've been to other tobacco shops in various cities. If you ask me, Georgetown Tobacco is among the finest in the nation. Their house blends are tasty too. (I don't know if they still have that little catalog, which was a collectible.) read more

A beautiful shop in old Georgetown. Loved walking in and feeling that nostalgic first breath of the tobacco that made this region famous. I was made to feel welcome and given expert recommendations for cigars that match my preferences. I couldn't ask for more! read more

Georgetown Tobacco - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

It's hard to call Georgetown Tobacco a hidden gem when it's on M St, but that's exactly what it feels like. Amazing atmosphere inside that is you've walked into an institution that's been around for far more than 60 years. I stopped in today to pick up a few cigars, and was helped by Teresa, who actually steered me away from my initial choice to a different cigar that was not only cheaper, but now as I am smoking it, is much better than my initial choice. It's very clear that Teresa and the team have great knowledge of what they are selling, and are able to make recommendations without even asking for even a profile. I look forward to coming back! read more

I'll be back to share more photos of the true art gallery/historical location that is Georgetown Tobacco but WOW the longest continually operating business in Georgetown is a neighborhood treasure. As a lover of a good cigar my husband and I initially stopped in for our standard, go to stogies but were greeted by the amazing Teresa who walked us through multiple options and the notes behind each. While there she let us know about a few upcoming events the shop was putting on and we've never said yes so quickly. The night of this special cigar tasting and drink pairing event came, and we were escorted upstairs to what may very well be my favorite "office" I've ever seen. The owner, David has compiled what could be a movie sets worth of antiquities and of course cigar themed items surrounded by amazing posters and hanging tobacco. Exposed brick, stained glass, and original windows overlooking a bustling M-Street greeted us for a memorable talk and socializing with other cigar lovers. Getting to meet and connect with David, Teresa, and of course the lovely shop dog Ava (who has her own treats box) was a highlight of our week. Fairly priced, incredibly staffed, steeping with history and full of history- Georgetown Tobacco should be on everyone's list for a must visit in Georgetown. We can't wait to return. read more

A polished diamond hidden on a quaint little street. The house pipe tobacco is great for a nice summer day. Cigars and pipes is not the surprise, it is all the other guy accessories that makes it cool. Fück your upscale suit shop for tux shirt cufflinks. You need to go here for unique eccentric styles. Marketing, coins, industry specific, air plains, boats, and East India Trading Company is just a small sample. The walking canes are awesome. Perfect for Father's Day. Great fit for every style and need. The silver animal handles are super cool. Make your dude happy and let him go on a small shopping spree. He'll help you buy the gifts for the upcoming year. read more

Georgetown Tobacco - Henry Clay Warhawk Robusto's - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This was the most fascinating place in Washington DC, and I don't even smoke. I walked by and seen the mask on the shelf behind the glass. I wish I wasn't flying back in or I would of bought so much in this store. The gentlemen in the store gave me a little bit of history regarding his family owned shop. I was so fascinated and amazed I was in an all. If your town, it's a must see. Just down the street from the old stone house. read more

Every time I'm in a new city with a notable pipe shop, I make a point to check it out. Georgetown Tobacco has everything tobacco-related you'd want, plus merchandise like hats, artfully-done Mardi Gras masks and walking sticks that are there simply because the owner likes them and the people who make them. That's what it means to run an independent business; you get to really curate, and somehow it all hangs together and makes sense. The staff is super friendly. I got to chat with Teresa the Tobacconist, have a pipe with Bob the cigar aficionado and pet the store's adorable dog, Eva. I picked up two house blends: Old Georgetown and Persuasion. It was my first time there, and I'll definitely go back the next time I'm in D.C. read more

No service , ignored us , spent 300 at Davidus. Avoid this place at all costs. I would never come back to this store.

Great little cigar shop. I'm not from D.C., just passing thru and I planned out my trip to stop and smoke a stogie at Georgetown Tobacco. Here's what I noticed, D.C. it isn't a real smokers town. You figured back in the day, a bunch of old politicians would want to get together for a smoke. They'd go to a lounge with rich corthinian leather chairs (just go with it), they'd light up a cigar and say lets get that bill passed and load it up with lots of pork. Muahahahah. Hey, I'm just a Bill, yeah I'm only a Bill but guess what? Where I'm from there are cigar "lounges". Places that resemble man caves, loaded with comfy leather chairs and TVs playing sports & news programs. Georgetown Tobacco had a little lounge section with a few wooden chairs & ash trays. It was more of an afterthought to have people smoke their purchase, to kick back and shoot the breeze. However! What they don't have in terms of a lounge, they do have a great selection of cigars for you to purchase as well a place to kick back and smoke. I purchased a nice Ashton Cigar, lit up and walked over to the smoking area. I sit next to a gentleman who was talking about his upcoming vacation. Yeah, we have to stop a day in Long Island and then take a ferry to Orient Point. OMG! I just left Long Island, high fives happen and we smoke and talk. Man Cave! The Staff? Ultra helpful. I asked questions about the different cigars, they have major labels for sale and its always nice to hear another opinion. Once of the guys was from Rhode Island, we start talking about my trip last year. Love Rhode Island! Finally, an older gentleman comes up to me and asks how I'm doing and if I need anything. Nice folks, great prices and a little smoking area. read more

Wish zero stars was a possibility. I literally re-downloaded the app to leave this review. Never experienced worse customer service in my life from the man who finally deigned to look up from his backgammon game and continue his rudeness verbally. Avoid this place, I'm sure fine cigars can be found elsewhere. read more

Wonderful and knowledgeable service and great selection ... not just of cigars but Venetian masks and cool hats! Definitely worth stopping in and learning about cigars and the store history! read more

We had completely wonderful experience there in Oct 2023, and I am back for more this weekend. I disagree with David's very bad review. We had great service. read more

This is one of the nicest places I've been to in a long time. Rene welcomed me like a friend, and George and Walter helped me for free. I would definitely go there again. They have a great selection of collectable lighters, hats, cufflinks, and other things that I would love to buy. And the place seems like a piece of art. All in all, it was a great experience and I would definitely go there again. read more

I don't know how people could possibly say anything bad about this place. The ambience is nice, The staff are attentive and the little puppy is so cute. We got help with in seconds of going in. They genuinely seemed fully there when I needed anything or had any questions. The prices are fair and the quality is amazing. read more

"You need this cut?" said the tobaccanist. I was in the Humidifier at Georgetown Tobacco and he was selling me a cigar. He recommended something robust. "Something less than five dollars," I said to the man. He selected a stubby black cigar, that looked like it'd already been smoked. My friend Meyers had already purchased his stogue, and had it sealed in a neat see-through bag. "It's a good smoke," the man assured me. "Robusto blend," it said on the label. It smelled robust, more or less. We took a stroll along the canal, Meyers and me, pausing time and again to read those historical plaques and re-light our cigars. Women and children both turned their noses in disgust at the aroma, but I found it to be both robust and woody, with reminiscences of rich mohagany. Let's hope these boys never go out of business....May this place outlast the fall of smoking. I predict that the decline of smoking means the rise of cigars. Will they start a smoking club? read more

Georgetown Tobacco - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

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! read more

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. read more

Georgetown Tobacco - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

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. read more

This is a great little shop. The cigar humidor is actually two separate rooms. Both had good selections and the prices seemed reasonable for an expensive city like D.C. I was also impressed with their pipe selection and tin tobacco selection. Lots of pipe brands I recommend and again the prices seemed on par with the city. I wouldn't say the selection ranks in my top 5 of pipe shops I've been to, but definitely way above the curve these days. I should mention that I always visit pipe shops, and have been to a lot of them around the world. The staff was very friendly. I can't imagine it gets much better than this in the area. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Of DC's many purveyors of tobacco, this place has to be the best. Not only do they have a wide array of cigars, pipes, hookahs (and all assorted sundries) - they have a friendly, knowledgeable staff. I have never had trouble finding exactly the cigar I wanted, and likewise, I have never been "burned" by purchasing a bad cigar here. In fact, once when the sales guy was inspecting my purchases as I was checking out, he found a slight imperfection and immediately traded it out for me. Without my asking. Now that's great customer service. These guys are also my go-to for advice about humidor upkeep. Bottom line - I highly recommend this place to all cigar and hookah lovers. read more

Cigars - yes. Hats - don't do it. Go somewhere else. We bought a leather cowboy hat for my fiancee for Xmas. It was a large. They didn't have an XL, so we gambled and bought it on the premise we could exchange. We brought it back - all tags still on it. Never worn. Willing to wait several weeks until the XL arrived. But no such luck. In trying to exchange it the "return policy" changed by the sentence. First it was - we don't exchange hats. Then it was, we don't exchange hats in COVID. Then it was - you need to have brought it back within a week. Then it was - you need the receipt. I said I had the credit card transaction statement, but no - the physical receipt only. There was no issue that this was THEIR hat, that it was never worn. Absolutely no courtesy or consideration in trying to make a very reasonable change to a size up. So, I left the hat with them - no refund - and told them to go ahead and sell it again. They need the business more than I need the new hat. VERY DISAPPOINTING CUSTOMER SERVICE. And so frustrated by the constant walls she threw up to avoid the exchange - one reason undoing the last. Such nonsense. I'll go find a cowboy store, where the service is considerate. (And by the way - someone will be re-buying this hat - in COVID - despite one aspect of their so-called "return policy" tha guards against COVID. But don't worry - everyone in my house is vaccinated and boosted. No COVID germs on the leather cowboy hat, size L. In case you're the one who buys it - again.) read more

Great place. I found this place by accident. Was walking by and smelled a great cigar aroma, which is my favorite way to find shops. They have a great selection, good prices, and excellent customer service. Makes you feel welcome. One of three places I stopped on my trip to D.C. and the only one I could smoke at due to issues at the other ones. So if you make it to this shop take advantage of it. They had a really good selection of pipes as well. One which I love and I am hoping they have a website so I can order one since I live in Florida. The only downfall to this shop is that the Metro doesn't stop anywhere near it so we had to walk a good distance, but there are some good shops in the area so it's worth the travel. read more

Georgetown Tobacco - Two cherries I picked up. Both suggested based on sticks I've enjoyed in the past. - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

They're kind of stuck-up in here, and fine, be that way, but what annoys me is the younger guy doesn't really know his shit regarding the various lines they carry, yet brings attitude??? You should be able to tell me the difference between 2 products in the same line. On the flip side, the product is fresh. I will return just based on that. read more

I. Love. Cigars. I am also a lady, which means I often get strange glances from men when I buy them. A little of this is to be expected. Georgetown Tobacco has a good selection, probably the best by my calculation in DC/northern Virginia, but seriously, boys, dial down the weird stares, you're driving away your customers (me). Every time I've been here, I've come away with what I wanted in terms of product, but in terms of overall experience, not so much. Disappointing. read more

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. read more

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. read more

A Yelp 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 decor 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. read more

Unlike some of the others who have reviewed, I find the staff at this Georgetown Tobacco extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I only go in once every 4-6 months, but they always recognize me and are very polite, if a bit flirty (to be expected as a lady in a tobacco shop). The shop itself has a nice vibe, very chill and sophisticated with a thick scent of cigars. The prices are sometimes market, sometimes higher, but overall acceptable for Georgetown. My number one qualm with this place is the lack of seating - no lounge area to smoke in. And I'm not going to go outside and smoke my cigar on the streets of Georgetown, because I don't want to be that girl. Of course, they don't have a large space to begin with, but just a little seating area would be nice. Besides that, it's a great shop with a calming atmosphere. read more

Everyone needs a dirty habit. (Aside from driving too fast on Mass Ave., spending too much money at restaurants and drinking too much wine.) Excellent selection of cigars. Plenty of the $3-4 variety with a host of smokes above $10. The staff is generally helpful, and will do their best to point you in the right direction if you need some assistance. I've found that their recommendations gravitate toward the thicker, meatier cigars- be warned if you prefer the soft, creamy variety. Can't beat the convenience. Prices aren't unusual for a city shop. Combine trips in Georgetown and pick up a smoke for the weekend. read more

It was the place to go for the clove cigarettes that us cool hipster girls had to smoke back in the day. I like it's old guy feel nowadays... like the sweater vest, hard shoes, and high waisted pants dude would come here for cigars. It's really a pretty decent spot in an OK location - not readily accessible but not out of the way either. Really helpful staff and totally nice:) not the normal tobacco magazine snobs. read more

The Armenian guy and the blond girl know what they're about. The store has reasonable prices.

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. read more

If you want a cigar, go here. If you want a feel-good smoking experinece, well, this place is OK. The kind of service you gt here iss great...if you'e a serious smoker. I loved the fact that I told them what I liked, they asked if I'd tried something else and I said yes and didnt like this or that and they found something new for me to try and it was gorious. The prices are highish, but the selection is probably the best I found when I was in DC. read more
