Taking a trip to the DC area

[CgarDan]

Ok guys this the updated plan.

HERF Sat 2pm till eve

I am staying the nigt and hope to do some shopping on Sun : How early on Sun do these shopes open? I plan to do it in this order

1) Old Virginia
2) Drappers


If someone is up for a Brunch at Shelly's that would be awesome

3) Bethesda and back home from there


Paul I know you are trying to do the HERf anyone else up for the big HERF on Sat link is in the 1st post or perhaps some shopping and a Brunch mini HERF on Sun afternoon ?

Drapper's isn't open on Sunday, but OVTC is, and so is Bethesda Tobacco. I'd be down for sunday afternoon sometime, but I'll be coming back from NYC, so I'm not sure if I'd be there in time. Let me know what time y'all are planning on for Sunday and then I can figure out if its do-able. I'd push for mid afternoon if I can, I'm meeting a good friend from Colorado at my other good friends place in NYC to watch the CU/CSU football game and then try and relive college, no telling when I'd be able to bus back down here.

I will either stop by Old Virginia Tobacco in Arlington or Falls Church

Can someone tell me which one is a better store and what are their hours n Sun?

Thanks

CigarDan and I are apparently doing shifts down to DC. :)

I'll be a little busy while I'm down there, but I plan to spend Tuesday night going for a long walk downtown. Let me know if you're interested...

BTW, how's the security situation downtown? Am I going to be harrassed if I wander around the monuments at night?

You shouldn't be bothered, there will be a lot of people around doing the same thing. I'd be into meeting up with you on Tuesday evening, let me know what you plan is.

Well it was a great time in DC. Herfed with mauied1101 among others at a great BBQ and charity event. Paul is a great guy and it was nice to finally meet him in person.

Charity pulled in about $1100 for the huricane relief to be sent to Red Cross and everyone won some nice items at the same time.

Got to see our capital on Sunday although quickly while driving around the city.

Stopped by Bethesda Tobacco and Old Virginia ( Pentagon Fashion Center ) although not huge stores the people were great. I was hoping to score some Opus X but both were out. But made it up intead by grabbing an ESG at Old Virginia. Better be a good cigar scored for $20 only $2 above MSRP. Oh yeah those who want to try one that store still had an almost full box as of yesterday.

Overall great people great food great cause great cigars = GREAT EXPERIENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww... great to meet you too Dan. Guy comes all the way down from NYC just to have a couple sticks with some strangers... now that's a BOTL.

So Dan - what'd I win?

I got a chance to meet up with SuperChuck last night in Dc and have a few cigars. He is a good guy, and I hope that he'll be seeing more of DC in the future. I hope your travel home is a safe one. Take care, Brian.

Hey guys,
Did a search and this seemed to be the most recent post about DC shops. I am heading up there tomorrow for the weekend to see my sister. I was wondering if I could get an update on the cigar situation up there.

Who has the best prices?

Who has the best selection?

Who has the best experience?

Where do I go?

She lives on 29th NW I think...

Thanks for your help.

For experience -- I usually hit Shelly's Back Room for drinks and a cigar -- sometimes dinner as well (there are better places to eat). Cigars there are overpriced, but nice place, almost always a good time. Shelly's is on F by 14th or 15th.
