Smokin’: Civil Cigar Celebrates Opening in Chevy Chase

If the indoor smoking ban is your best friend, don’t head here.  Apparently, you’re just not civilized.

Civil Cigar Lounge is Chevy Chase’s new — and gender neutral — hazy hotspot where everyone is sure to be smokin’. Gals, find a guy who shares your appreciation for an Artisan Nicaraguan.  Men, show your smarts by selecting an Alex Bradley Fine and Rare (possibly their most select stogie on hand).

The motto is super simple: “Drink. Eat. Smoke.” So, sip a scotch or old fashioned with any of Civil’s 260 types of rolled tobacco and small plates from the kitchen of Bryan Voltaggio’s RANGE next door.

Ventilation is key — their system claims to save your suit, and reputation, by filtering and replacing ALL of the air every two minutes.  But it’s really the ‘baccy benefits Civil Lounge has on lock.  Literally.

Lease one of 125 humidified, personal cedar cigar lockers to secure your preferred status — and stay Civil — in case everything else around goes up in smoke.

* Civil Cigar is located at 5335 Wisconsin Avenue NW in Chevy Chase
