Clever Trevor

Selection wasnt what I was lead to believe. They only want you to smoke in the back half so "the smoke stays back there" like it doesnt move around. The guy who cut mt cigar cut so little, it was a tight draw and I told him, "I need more cut off." He replies, "thats enough, thats how I always do it." A little condiscending like he believe I didnt know the 1st thing about smoking. Made for an unpleasnt smoke. I wont be returning.

Ive accompanied a former worker to this shop often enough to enjoy it. I didnt smoke prior to hanging out with , not cigarettes, but Ive come to smoke a few cigars that my expert former colleague picked out and had cut the shop. After work wed swing by the shop and then head to Lafayette Park to just sit and relax. Anyway, large selection, helpful staff to sort through, and makes a classy gift for some guys.

Terrible, asked the guy behind the counter if they had a smoking room, he said yes, I waited for him to show me where and I asked again and he very sarcastically and loudly proclaimed your standing in it!!! He kindly left off "stupid". I looked around and there were four large ashtrays to the left of the front door, no seats nothing. Cigars are dry, would not send anyone there.

I been going to JR (DC) for 4 maybe 5 years now. The staff were always helpful and knowledgeable. They dont press you as soon as you step in the door like the small time tobacco shops (who know very little to nothing about fine cigars). The cigars (name brands and JR Alternatives) are at an affordable price. I stayed to enjoy the lounge area twice. The ventilation is perfect.

I am a novice cigar smoker but was made to feel like "one of the gang" immediately as I entered the store! The staff took time to explain the layout, helped me with my selections, then made me feel welcomed in their smoking area, where I met some great folks that enjoy cigars there regularly. I ended up staying there for almost two hours! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

If you want a nice box to organize your things, but dont want to pay Container Store prices, come here and browse their selection. Instead of discarding the old cigar boxes, they sell the best one for only $2 a piece! Ive found so many rare and beautiful boxes here, and the staff is so friendly and helpful.

I went there for the first time a few days ago. Since then, Ive had to throw half of them away because they were either so hard they were unsmokable or the wrapper came apart when it was cut. Without a humidor (!) this place treats its cigars like hell. Avoid it like the plague.

If youre going to get cigars in the city, this place has better prices than W. Curtis Draper. Otherwise, cigar stores are cigar stores. Georgetown Tobacco is better (local, non-chain business). But this pace is convenient when youre downtown.

This is one of the best cigar stores I have ever been to, and certainly the best in the Washington DC area. Huge selections of hugars and humidors, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended!

Selection is satisfactory. The staff mainly kept to themselves and their "preferred" patrons in the back of the humidor. More effort should be made to welcome new customers. No restroom.

Great staff, they are very helpful. Went to this location for some vape juice and coils. Great prices and selection. Will be going here anytime i need vape juice while im working in DC.

À wide variety of choices and good advice from the salesman. The shop is just 1mn walk away from the La Fayette square where its pleasant to enjoy the cigars you just purchased.

Gregory Luce

Great selection, good prices, helpful and friendly staff. Its a great place to pick up smokes and hang out with good people and smoke one. The TVs and free WiFi are a bonus.

Nathan Davoli

Great selection, not so great staff with a boys club atmosphere. Go here if you know what you want, dont expect much help if youve got any questions. I left empty handed.
