B&M's in Washington, DC

[ziv]

I'm going to be in DC on the week of the 24th, can you recommend some good B&M's in the area? Thanks!

Hmm, I'll be following along to this as well because I'd be interested to know any good B&M's in the DC area. My go-to is always Boswell's (which is about a 90 minute drive from DC)

If you're going to be anywhere near Foggy Bottom, Georgetown Tobacconist has pipes, tins, store blends, and a great staff. Though there is no "Lounge", you can smoke in there.

If you'll be downtown, closer to the capitol, there's the historic W Curtis Draper's - Americas third oldest tobacconist (behind Iwan Reis and LJ Peretti). Decent selection of pipes, tins, and bulk tobaccos. Despite the comfy chairs scattered about, you can not smoke in there.

There are a few others in the city and suburbs on both the Maryland and Virginia sides, tho they are mostly cigar lounges. Some will have pipe stuff, some won't.

I'll also take this opportunity to mention the retail directory on this very site. We are all able to post store info and reviews to help each other out when planning visits.

Davidus Cigars has many stores and some are close to DC.

Thank you for the recommendations!
I'm sitting at Georgetown Tobacco right now, smoking a pipe. This is a very nice place!

Happy to! Also glad to see that they've put the chairs back out.

Dang, I was just down in DC at the zoo and the mall 2 weekends ago and drove home through Georgetown. I could have stopped at either of these shops. I am sure that my wife and kids would have been thrilled to stop

I haven’t been to Georgetown Tobacconist in over 30 years but I did love that place.

Davidus Cigars has a nice selection of pipes and pipe tobaccos. They have 13 stores in Maryland.

I'll definitely need to go there if i'm ever in the area. I love those old school tobacconists and being able to smoke in the shop is amazing.

They are also located between a bank branch and a cafe - no idea how they have not been evicted yet

That's pretty funny, the Chase and Capital One look so out of place for that old building but Georgetown fits right in
