Nice spot. One of the few remaining cigar bars left in DC. This spot is purely smoke, drink and go. They have decent restrooms if you need those, but it leans utilitarian. Functional even...and nope, unlike Shelly's or Ozio's or even 1865 - there's no food served here. Not even wings/fries. Hung with my brother and his pal. Had a long island and after about 1.5 hours, we bounced. Sorry for just the one pic, but I'd return. Service was polite/efficient and I parked next door in the garage. I could have parked on the street today because it's a holiday! Welp.:/ read more

Casa de Montecristo - Drinks & cigars. - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I'm not a regular cigar smoker but occasionally, I enjoy a simple stick with my boyfriend. This place was the perfect selection for our pre-game date night. My cigar of choice, Davidoff SIGNATURE AMBASSADRICE. This slim stick was pretty simple and easy for me to indulge in. Drink of choice, Black Cherry Manhattan. The dark sweet drink added a sexy twist to the experience and it was smooth. Guess what??? They have ladies night on Wednesday! Definitely going to try it out. No food sold here, just great cocktails. There are however, lots of restaurants nearby so that should not stop you from visiting. Staff were really friendly and made the experience great. The place is nicely organized and comfortable inside and there is an outside patio. No membership needed to experience the magic but they do offer great membership packages for anyone interested in joining. Overall, I will be back! read more

Service tonight was broken. The bartender didn't know what scotch they had in stock and told me to ask the bar manager. She took a card to open a tab but then couldn't find the tab and asked me to get up come to the end of the bar to present my card again and sign the bill when I was ready to leave. My scotch was on the tab but not my cigar. That took a bit of hassle to find the cigar I ordered and have it rung up separately. Not a major disaster but an unnecessary annoyance. I could have easily walked out without paying for the cigar. read more

Casa de Montecristo - a display of cigars - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

A decent to good cigar bar with a lot of cigar options. However, they don't always have the supplies to make the cigar and cocktail special that they advertise in their emails--especially near the end of the month. I felt that the cigars were a bit too pricey. The service during the early afternoon n Friday was also fairly slow. read more

A friend came into town and we always frequent a new cigar bar and decided to give Casa De Montecristo a try. There is an outdoor patio to just enjoy the weather or watch some sports, inside was a bit smaller than expected and the upstairs was exclusively for members. One of the employees was really friendly and was able to assist us with what we were looking for. Drinks were okay, bartender seems a little inexperience. The atmosphere wasn't as cozy compared to other lounges but we enjoyed ourselves. read more

I found this in a query for cigar bars in DC. I was pleasantly greeted and enjoyed the variety of spirits. I liked the vibe of the people and location. I have already recommended to a friend so I'll also recommended it to any stranger traveling through our nation's capitol. read more

It's been sooooo long since I had a cigar that I had to ask for help in selecting one. I'd saved the band to remind me of what I purchased, but those who love cigars will have their own favorites -- and I'm not out to impress anyone. Certainly not in DC. I rarely have more than one drink every so many weeks, but they poured a very generous glass of scotch (a single malt) for me. Ahhh... heaven. read more

The atmosphere was dope, super chill and laid back. Their selection of Cigars is amazing, actually one of the largest I've ever seen. read more

Found this spot to relax after a long day of meetings. I have visited a Casa de Montecristo in Las Vegas and Countryside, IL. Entering the shop, the lounge chairs are situated outside in an in closed patio with flatscreens. Stepping inside there is a full bar to the left and on the right, a multi section humidor, ceiling to floor, filled with premium cigars. It was packed but comfortable. I found a high table, picked my cigar and ordered my drink. The prices were decent, crowd had a good vibe and the staff were cool. The inside was small and no lounge chairs inside but I enjoyed my time and would come back. read more

A friend and I were looking for a Cigar lounge after brunch and found this place, walkable from our restaurant. Sunday afternoon. Wasn't crowded. There are seating areas outside, and a bar and a few tables inside. Thankfully we found a high top table. The person who was helping us with the cigar, I can't think of his name, but was SUPER friendly and helpful. I don't typically smoke cigars so I told him I was a newbie and he recommended a cigar and the reason why. His name might've started with a K. Whoever, he was on July 16 @ 4pm, he deserves a promotion :p He cut our cigars for us and offered to light them, but my friend had their own cigar equipment :) Bartender was nice and helpful. No food, but full bar with wine & beer. There is also happy hour (see photos). Nice Ventilation system Members only area upstairs Bathroom for women contained one toilet. Large bathroom. Mouthwash also. Street parking but you could probably also find parking garages in the area read more

Great place... well ventilated! Great selection and nice service! Also helps to be in DC, so there's that!

This is an amazing cigar bar. I'm a regular at Shelly's since I live close to it but the service, selection, vibe, and prices here are all superior to Shelly's in my opinion. You'll save at least $10 a stick here compared to Shelly's and Angel is a delight to walk you around and educate you on cigars. The clientele also seem really cool here. Since I work in Dupont Circle, I'm going to make this a regular stop after work. read more

Was my go to cigar shop when I was living in DC. Miss it every day. Great selection and extremely helpful staff

Went to smoke a cigar wasn't a friendly atmosphere didn't feel comfortable . The cigar selection was good. The ventilation was fair. I will not go back to this cigar lounge. read more

Absolutely first rate selection of cigars at incredible prices. This place is staffed with very polite and knowledgeable staff and is comfortable. You can sit at the long bar or a high top table; or you can go the front-facing enclosed patio which has both high and "normal" chairs and tables. This place should not be missed if you want a great place to purchase and smoke cigars. read more

My last day in DC I decided to stop by this awesome cigar lounge and kick back and relax. I'm from Florida so every place I travel I must visit a cigar lounge and I'm glad I stopped by this one. They have a very nice lounge downtown DC, staff is friendly, and a nice selection of cigars and full bar. I highly recommend this gem. read more

Casa de Montecristo - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

There are few places to smoke indoors in DC, but Casa de Montecristo is a good one. In the district itself, there's Shelly's, Draper's (although I think you can't smoke inside Draper's anymore), Morton's, and then a handful of cigar shops (e.g. Signature Cigars on Wisconsin or Casa de Montecristo) as well as private clubs. They all have very different vibes. Casa de Montecristo is open to the public but also has a members-only area upstairs (I think ~$1500/year). I've seen in the other reviews that folks have had problems with service/staff. I have never had anything but exceptional service from the staff (specifically Casey, Jade, and Angel). They seem knowledgeable about cigars and are very helpful. This is a spot that has regulars but is equally open to newcomers. Fairly decent cigar selection, fast wifi, a rewards program (can't remember what the points conversion is, but it seems to amount to something like 5-10% off). Prices seem comparable to other places. A chill spot to come and hang, can put in headphones and work, or chat with the person smoking next to you. Definitely a good addition to the cigar scene in DC, and I have never had anything but a good experience here. Only suggestion would be to put seat/back cushions in the chairs on the outdoor patio to make them more confortable. Ventilation is good without being so strong that when you exhale it isn't as though you're blowing into wind (as it is in some places). read more

I'm just visiting while attending a conference. This place has a great environment for a smoke, nice conversations, and an awesome selection of cigars. read more

Staff was amazing. I ran into a bunch of Raiders fans at first I was apprehensive but they were very cool showed me an amazing time

I have no idea how this place has 4.5 stars. Good cigars, poor execution, careless bartenders. Asked for the cigar to be cut. Got a horrible chop job. Asked to sit upstairs in a comfy chair, and was rudely told that the area is for members only. Bartender promised to be right with us. As I'm right in front of their face, one is watching something on her phone and the other one ignoring us. God this place needs Blend. This is awful. The jug of bleach on the counter around food prep was icing on the cake. read more

I travel to DC often for work and I always stop here. Usually I have a fantastic experience. This past time was a major disappointment! The bartender DJ was rude and weird. Customer service is not her strong suit at all! I will be back in DC soon and if I come in and she is there my colleagues and I will definitely not come in! Horrible experience!! I hope management really reads these messages , bc she is not a good look for the brand! Sincerely a concerned patron! read more

Great service, great cigar selection & awesome air quality inside. Mid-range bourbon selection & a couple beers on tap. I'd come back for a day-time smoke or casual smoke read more

I had a wonderful time smoking a Camacho at this place. Staff is wonderful. The bartender was very friendly and makes great drinks. Good selection of cigars as well. I would strongly recommend this place if you are in town. Mouthwash in restroom is a nice touch. read more

Casa de Montecristo has a dozen cigar bars throughout the nation. This is spacious. The staff are friendly. Unlike New York City, they serve alcohol. Some, no doubt, will be disapproving of the two vices that can be indulged here. For those who wish for either, or both, this is an excellent venue. read more

This was the first time I've been to a cigar shop / bar / house / room / whatever they're called. There's a VIP section upstairs, a bar, then a sunroom lounge area out front. Highly recommend. The people there were super helpful with the recommendations and made sure to check up on us. Grab yourself a modelo and a light cigar and enjoy. read more

Casa de Montecristo - a hand holding a cigar and a glass of beer - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is why I am giving it a one star. I am a cigar blogger, and have my cigar clubs both in Florida and New York- Carnegie Club is our spot. This place was on my bucket list. I called in advance, and asked if I could bring my own cigar and obviously buy cocktails, and I was told certainly. When I got there I inquired about the annual club, not a bad deal. Really good price and you get to enjoy an intimate place. However when the manager (big guy) was extremely rude saying I couldn't consume my own cigars, and made an off putting reference. Not a fan of that experience, shame on the management. I'll be taking my business, and club to Shellie's Backroom. read more

Sunday night , 2 cigar guys were on duty and one bartender. The cigar sommelier was attentive but not pesky, he left me alone to peruse the shop. Bought a cigar and a drink and headed upstairs to sit and smoke. Not a huge place but everything was comfortable. Would definately return. read more

Great place. Great people. Great selection of cigars and drinks. All around great place to have a cigar and drink in DC. I highly recommend.

Had a very nice afternoon cigar at Casa de Montecristo. Staff is top notch. Extensive offering of fine cigars and reasonably priced. Nice happy hour The bartender knew how to mix a good drink. Sat at the bar which was very comfortable. Not a lot of comfortable seating otherwise. Nice spot. read more

They have a good selection of cigars and accessories. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped by here last month during our drive down to Florida, and I cannot say enough good things about this place. Good cigar lounges are pretty difficult to find, so we were extremely lucky to come across it. First, the staff could not have been friendlier or more welcoming--especially Earl. He is a class act and exactly the kind of person you would want to run into at a place like this. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and a genuinely good guy. I'm actually typing this review from another cigar lounge (in Las Vegas), and my girlfriend and I both agreed that nothing compares to the level of service we received from Earl and everyone else at the DC location. If you are looking for great cigars and outstanding drinks in DC, definitely stop at this place. You will not be disappointed. read more
