a lovely place with a great team. But above all, their pipe tobacco « Night Owl » is probably the best tobacco that I have ever tried. Absolutely perfect…

My love for supporting small businesses as a marketer brought me to this small business tobacco shop in Washington, D.C. - the oldest sustained business in the historic city of Georgetown, DC.My journey into Georgetown Tobacco was not just a visit to a shop but a meeting with a passionate individual, David Berkebile. His love for his work and the community was palpable as he shared the story of how he established Georgetown Tobacco in Washington, D.C.'s historic hub of commerce back in 1964.We had the pleasure of meeting several of the staff, who take great pride in their work and the longevity of their business. David shared with us the evolution of business at M St NW, Washington, DC, over the years. Georgetown Tobacco remains a community pillar, offering diverse products, including top-notch cigars, pipes, and tobacco. They also feature some of the most exquisite canes, cuff links, and fun Venetian Carnival masks, making it a haven for those seeking unique gifts.This represents US history in our capital city and the lifestyle of many of its founding members and citizens of notable society. The whimsical figurine given center stage in the tobacco shop is from Punch Magazine in England. The renovation of Georgetown Tobacco once included purchasing and moving an 1880 apothecary from Pennsylvania when a shop was closing. It's exceptional—as is the entire shop!I advise you not to mistake it for just being the finest tobacco shop in DC; it also sells interesting and rare items for home and personal treasures.Our visit to Georgetown Tobacco was more than just a shopping trip. We left with a sense of kinship with the community and a newfound friendship with David Berkebile. We wholeheartedly recommend this shop to anyone searching for a unique gift, a memorable outing, and a chance to support a quality, family-run business that has maintained its distinctiveness over time.Knowing someone who occasionally takes pleasure in a very fine cigar, we purchased and tucked away a special Christmas gift.

Georgetown Tobacco is a mainstay not only in Washington, DC, but everyone in the cigar industry knows David. They have a great selection of all levels of cigars and the staff there is always friendly and knowledgeable. If you're lucky enough to get up to David's office, it's like a cigar museum with some surprises.

Recently, my husband and I had the pleasure of visiting this place. It specializes in cigars, tobaccos, pipes, and handmade masquerade masks. The selection, quality, and affordability of the masks absolutely blew us away. The shop's atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the customer service was top-notch. It was clear that the staff takes great pride in their work and the longevity of their business, which has been around for an impressive 60 years. We were also delighted to meet Eva, the friendly dog who greeted us with a wagging tail. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend this shop to anyone in search of a unique gift or just a fun outing. It also offers a military discount!

Georgetown Tobacco is a gem. You don’t find establishments like this often in life. The atmosphere, history, inventory and staff all contribute to a one of a kind experience. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and gracious. They could answer about any question you may have about a product (it’s actually quite impressive). Georgetown Tobacco is by far the most unique store in Georgetown. Even if you don’t buy any products, the experience alone is worth it. 10/10.

One of those amazing shops that sticks with you for a long time. I love my local cigar establishment, but it doesn’t compare to here. Top notch.

Great shop and great service. I got a pipe and four of their blends. I also got a couple cigars. Too bad the lounge is gone now.

Cool, quirky shop that sells more than just tobacco. They sell cool, old cigar boxes for a small (hard cash-only) donation to charity.

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.

As a newer cigar smoker, this was my second visit to this shop. Both times the person handling my questions was patient, informative and a delight to speak with. Bob and Teresa were particularly helpful. Bob took the time to go through a large variety of brands and individual cigars to help me nail down some excellent choices. Thanks! I will definitely be back next time I’m in DC!

Stumbled into this shop while out in Georgetown with my girlfriend. As a newbie to the cigar world I asked Teresa for a recommendation on a good starter cigar. She was very nice and even took some time to give us some words of wisdom about living in the area (we just moved from Florida). She was also genuinely interested in helping me find something that I would enjoy. She recommend a couple cigars one of those being a Davidoff and have to say this thing is awesome. Would 100% recommend visiting this shop.Thanks again Teresa!
