The lounge is open to visitors who make a purchase and the owner is very friendly and happy to help you with suggestions or finding what you need. I stopped in before a work thing and it was a great experience. The selection is better than almost every other cigar shop I have visited lately. They have some hard to find cigars and the price was very good- better than I expected. I have added this to my must visit places when I’m in town. Thanks for the relaxing smoke. Parking is not too hard. Just feed the meter.
Reviews
Capitol Cigar is hands down one of the best cigar lounges anywhere in the DMV. The tobacconists here are exceptional — the best I’ve ever worked with. They never fail to help me find exactly what I’m looking for, and often surprise me with something new that becomes a favorite. The selection is top-notch, with all the latest releases and plenty of rare, hard-to-find cigars that serious smokers appreciate. They also host great events once or twice a month — always fun, social, and full of great deals. It’s a welcoming home base for cigar lovers. The crowd is friendly, the conversations easy, and if you’re local, you’ll probably run into someone you know (or almost know). The lounge has a comfortable setup with a good number of TVs for games — but they keep the focus where it should be: cigars, conversation, and community. The heart and soul of the place is Tony, the owner, leader, and visionary. He’s been a fixture in the DC cigar scene forever, and it shows. He just has the right touch — knowledgeable, genuine, and perfectly tuned to what makes a great cigar experience. Whether you’re new to the hobby or a refined aficionado, you’ll feel right at home here.
A premier lounge experience. The space is impeccably tailored for comfort and conversation, backed by an extremely knowledgeable staff that prioritizes hospitality above all else. With fair pricing and excellent community events, Capitol Cigar and Tobacco has truly earned my patronage—I routinely bypass three other lounges just to step through their doors.
Great cigar shop with a clean, upscale lounge and an excellent selection of cigars and accessories. Tony, the manager, is a true gentleman who makes everyone feel welcome. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a great place to relax and enjoy a quality smoke.
This is the finest cigar shop I’ve seen. They have phenomenal selection; the prices are reasonable; the staff is knowledgeable; there are no minimums to sit and enjoy. The owners treat all the customers with respect and kindness. I wish they had shops in every city. Thanks.
