Loved it. Really great and knowledgeable staff.. Shout out to May. When I got back home I was even able to call back from NC and he was able to help. Relaxes atmosphere, great selections of both cigars and spirits. If you really like cigars and cigar shops, not vape stores who have no clue about Nicaraguan or Honduran, padron or perdomo. Go HERE

Great intimate spot and excellent music variations! Jimmy assisted us and provided many great recommendations! We ended up with a variety and enjoyed the Fat Bottom Betty while there! This is our new go-to cigar! Nikki served the best Sangria and coffee, while Nicole engaged and chatted with us. I highly recommended this location and will definitely revisit!

Casa de Montecristo is a rock solid cigar shop and bar to visit, especially with friends. They have a great selection of cigars and knowledgeable staff, even your least experienced companion should be able to find something good. The team here is excellent and everyone that steps in is treated like a familiar customer and friend. Their bar is also excellent.

Awesome place! I stopped by to buy some gifts for friends and the staff were very knowledgeable about exactly what I was looking for! I have no knowledge about cigars and was only going off what my friends had said they liked and the staff knew exactly what to get me. Very chill atmosphere and everyone there was super friendly. Super happy with my time and love the packaging!! It was a huge hit!

Glad I stayed at the AC hotel in the same block so I could find this awesome cigar lounge. Great ambiance, friendly staff, great selection. Cant wait to find another reason to get down to DC so I can enjoy another smoke here.

Terrific place to enjoy a cigar in DC. Great selection of cigars with a covered curbside patio. The bar inside serves both liquor and coffee. Staff is friendly and helpful. It was raining while I was there. It was great sitting in on the patio and listening to the weather.

In all honesty, I love their old location better and the staff. I have been to the new location few times it is chill in the patio. I just dont like that not everyone can go down stairs and chill, you have to be a member to be there. The cigar selection is awesome. My number one choice is The Lock Jaw set, amazing selections. Over all great place to be

The experience I had at Casa de Montecristo goes beyond just tasting cigars. This place is magical they really treat you like family, see others coming in greeting each other having conversations about cigars really tells you this is the place for enthusiast in Washington DC. The best selection of cigars coming from an aficionado whos family comes from the tobacco business. Great selection of drinks, I even had a glass of Barrilito Rum (Puerto Ricos finest Rum) in 6 years in DC o could never get a hold of a bottle and guess what they had it! I am forever grateful and would recommend to anybody from beginners to season enthusiasts.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. But there is no lounge available for smoking your cigars here. They have great deals though, worth a trip in.But if your looking for a lounge to smoke in, this is not your place.

Great Cigar Lounge. The Atmosphere was very good and the Manager Steve Burch and staff were very professional and very knowledgeable. It was our first time and they gave us a tour and made us feel right at home. The manager Steve really did a great Job with us along with providing service to all the customers. The lounge offers different aspects that would allow you to be extremely comfortable at different locations in the lounge. Steve advised us about memberships and great hours. We will be returning on a regular basis to enjoy the comfort of the lounge and its great atmosphere. Special thanks to Steve and his staff for a Job well done !!

Cool staff! Relaxed atmosphere. Wish it were....sexier? Styled? More visually stimulating? The name itself implies a warm Cuban vibe, simmering with charm. Somewhere to wear my strappy stilettos, you know? Next time I go, my slip on walking shoes will be just fine.

Great. Absolutely great place to purchase sticks. An inviting atmosphere. And the guy there knows his stuff. Being that I am new to the cigar life, he pointed me in a great direction. I got 2 sticks for about $25. I wouldve paid that much for one at any of the places I smoke. Gotta check them out. Its around the corner from Ozios. Walking distance.

The staff is able to make appropriate recommendations for your cigar palate preferences. Phenomenal whiskey selection and Local beers on tap as well.My expectations for a cigar lounge experience have always been exceeded here... tough to find a better experience especially in dmv area... Period.

A couple doors down from my hotel (AC by Marriott), I stopped in on a whim. Welcoming, knowledgeable staff made me feel like I was at home. Great cigar selections, and their bar was well stocked with premium bourbons and Scotch. Couldn’t have been happier to spend my two nights in DC at this establishment.

Spent a few days in DC and visited the MC lounge. As a member I was pleased with the location and ease of access to Members lounge. Recalled seeing GM at MC location in Hallandale, FL...great customer service by he and the others working that Wed, Thurs and Fri night. Note to all MC employees across the country...should make it a habit to ask a customer if he/she is a member. I find that I don’t often get my discount even at my home base and I hate to feel like a pest and constantly remind but it looks like I’ll have to...otherwise defeats one of the purposes of me paying for a membership.Otherwise all good.Doc,

Review №65

Its not a large cigar bar, however, the atmosphere makes up for the size. Who doesnt love being outside when the weather is not too hot and not humid? Enjoying one of their many cigars on the indoor/outdoor patio was great. Everyone was attentive from the bartender who made my drinks to the cigar expert who helped me make an informed purchase. Overall, I will be back again. Its something about this place that was comforting and secluding although youre in the middle of a busy street.

Great selection with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The space is open with high ceilings, so its not stuffy or smokey. Location is convenient to the metro stop on the corner. Prices are decent and there are usually deals and promotions, so be sure to ask. I really want to stress how nice the staff is; they take their time to understand what you like and make excellent recommendations, which is a valuable service with a personal touch that you dont get everywhere else.

So lets focus. Theres an inexpensive, chill, cigar lounge in the middle of D.C. Did you catch all that? Walking distance from everywhere, helpful staff, huge selection and great prices. The furniture is inviting, comfortable and plentiful. Patrons are friendly, staff are knowledgeable and easy going Hands down, one of the best cigar lounge experiences Ive ever had and I live in southern hospitality rich Texas. Slip on your shoes, and go there!

Nice shop, good inventory and excellent staff -- but now that all the permits are in order, we can smoke inside! Ask for a tour of the upstairs, where members have more space & super-comfy seating! Clearly, membership has its privileges!

A place to buy a good cigar as a birthday, fathers day or holiday present. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful in educating and identifying the perfect smoke. It is also a club...if this is your passion check it out. Beware, it is smokey!!!

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!

I ended up staying there for almost two hours! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Great selection of tobaccos and cigars and a very helpful staff. My only knock on the place is the big wooden Indian statues they have in the window. Like having a lawn jockey in front of the house, its really not a good look.

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.
