Classic Cigars & British Goodies

It was okay they didn’t have many starbuzz flavored for the hookah… Pricing was an issue for me mostly… Everything in the store was marked up more than your usual tobacco store… But I’m sure it’s because of the area. Still decent store w a decent wine selection

Not sure exactly what I did to the young lady that works there but from the phone call to her she was very standoffish almost like she made me feel embarrassed about my questions. When I was in the store she made a comment about how it may be difficult with my ADD to focus on something. I will was insulted she said she didn’t mean to insult me but that was too late because I was insulted. I was nothing but nice understand if you’re having a bad day but let’s not take it out on your customers

Alfred?

I’ve been to my share of «smoke shops» and I know the rules and customs. Never have I been made to feel like I was being watched more than here. The man behind the counter dismissed every question as if I were a window shopper when I’d come with two very specific purchases in mind. I would’ve spent a lot more if I hadn’t felt so uncomfortable. A nice selection and basically the only metro smoke shop in the area, but I won’t be returning. I’d rather hike it to Old Town Alexandria or Adams Morgan. 2 stars if only for convenience and selection.

Just had my first visit to Classic Cigars and British Goodies to get some vittles for St. Patrick’s Day party. Something akin to a Chinese food and donut shop, it is a tobacco/​hooka shop with a British imports grocer.
I’m not an aficionado of the category so can only say it is a pretty bare bones place, but I got the shrimp and smoked bacon chips and weird marshmallow treats I was looking for.
The reason I am writing this review really is that I finally got around to buying a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar, largely due to some of the Unilocal reviews right here, only to be told that these would likely be my first and last Dairy Milks because Hershey is suing British food importers and we will not be able to buy the real stuff any more.
Go stock up now or you’ll have to fly to London or I guess order it on Amazon or Ebay and pay for international shipping?

I cannot figure the people who work in this store out and I’m never coming back again. I’ve been three times, each time no greeting, no actually me telling my total and being treated like they wish I hadn’t walked in the store. Each time, I was getting some British biscuits. They had bourbon creams I was looking for just once. After being treated so rudely, today I was overcharged and by the time I figured it out I had left the store with no receipt. I honestly think he did it on purpose. No worries, I’m not going back. World Market has a lot of stuff and friends and family coming from the UK can fill in the rest.

In case you needed some British foodstuffs to go with your cigars save time and get in one spot. ?? I haven’t yet had that need in my life but when I do I’ll know where to go. Survivable selection of stogies, though not too large. Lots of hookah pipe paraphernalia. Survivable selection of British sundries, though not too large. Friendly proprietor. Easy walk from Clarendon Metro.

This place is pretty cool. After my falling out with the poor service at Cigar Connection, I called this place up and asked if they carried my brand. I got a quick confirmation, went down, grabbed two, and the guy working the counter was courteous and expeditious with ringing me up. I found my new cigar store.

I can leave this review on sheer selfishness on my part alone.
One reason I like it is because it’s very convenient. It’s open late on weekends and has the brand of cigs I like that I can’t find anywhere else.
They have an assortment of British candy, food, soft drinks, cigars, cigarettes, e juice and other random items. Every time I visit the store I find something new.
The only drawback is it’s a bit pricey but it sure beats the prices in London.

Tempted to, but not going to start this review with a British accent. You’ve been spared, you’re welcome.
This place is meant to be hidden and many are deceived by it’s exterior appearance. But once you get past all the convenient store flairs — you’ll see this is a gem worthy of any Britofiles’ blessing.
Go here in times when you need.
– Hookah accessories: pack-​it supplies
– Powdered curry for your chips
– Cadbury chocolates: my favorite, chocolate rooster with chocolate eggs inside
– Cheap to rather respectable cigars
– HP sauce again for your chips
– Digestives (this place is located in the heart of the bar scene)
In the midst of running around Arlington on a packed Saturday night, I visited on a mission to eat Aero (mint chocolates) and have wine gums stuck in my teeth.
What else could a girl ask for, Govena?!

There’s a very small selection of goods. I bought a bag of Thai flavored chips. They were past their «best by» date, but they tasted good, so I didn’t care. They definitely sell more cigar products than food at this place.

This is the best thing. everyone knows that British (and most European) chocolates are AMAZING. so everytime I passed Heathrow airport I would stock up on English choclate as if they were gold. as of course within weeks my supply would run out but never again!!! thanks to this wonderful store I now have continued access to the best chocolates evaa!

I absolutely love British goods stores and they are pretty hard to find. I usually just fulfill all my British needs in NYC but now I won’t have to travel so far. Classic Cigars and British Goods has a pretty diverse array of snacks and items for being such a little shop. Everything is well priced and just a smidge more expensive than the shops in NYC. I’ll definitely be heading back to stock up on my Walker’s crisps and Cadbury chocolates.

Smoke em if you got em!
Good friendly service for the novice smoker. Their wine selection isn’t too shabby for a limited selection.

My fiancé has a nostalgia-​fest here over all the British chocolates, chips and drinks. Sorry to offend you Anglos, but Lucazade and Iron Brew is not my cup of tea. Pricey because all the stuff is imported. Parking is a pain. Metered street parking is always full.

In the words of Paul McCartney, if you’re feeling «very twee, very me» you will need to bash off to CC&BG for a bit of Britain. With a mum living in England, I do get regular supplies of Walker’s, Rowntree, McVitties, and Cadbury’s Fingers, etc. — but it is nice to have them closer at hand. [Dare I say, though, that Rodman’s in Friendship Heights has the same products for lower prices? Don’t kill me, CC&BG fans!]

Awesome chocolate and beer selection. Makes me feel like I’m in Europe again.

This place is great! I’m a fan of British candies (don’t ask) and I always find great stuff here! And once in a blue moon, they carry Silk Cuts, which is pretty awesome! I’ve only encountered the 2 girls that work here, and they both have always been really polite and nice! I love going to this place!

My grandmother no longer makes trips to visit her family in England, and for the last couple of years, I have been suffering a slow Cadbury withdrawal. One balmy evening, my companion happened into Classic Cigars & British Goodies for a pack of cloves, and hurriedly caught me further down the sidewalk, turning me around joyfully so I could see the Whole Nut candy bar in his hands. Knowing he would be handsomely rewarded for his discovery (oh, indeed) he led me back into the store to thrill at the authentic Cadbury goodies covering the shelves, breaking off a hunk of chocolate and hazelnuts for me in the process. Finally, the chocolate bliss I have cherished since I was a small child was able to be savored, and I have sighed contentedly ever since.

HOTDOG!
Or should I say, BLIMEY!
This store makes up for all the yearning I’ve done for the UK since studying there nearly 3 years ago. EVERYTHING I could ever want to remind me of the great country, including CADBURY DAIRY MILK bars! (And no, the ones that Hershey makes here, and SAYS that they’re Cadbury Dairy Milk are sooooo not the same). So, not only can I get my favorite candies (mind you, I left the UK with 5 cavities, all well worth it), if I want my dishes to smell British, I can even get Fairy liquid. But seems a bit silly to pay $ 10 for imported dish detergent. But, hey, if nostalgia sets in enough…
Another plus is the great cigarette/​cigar collection. I’m a nonsmoker, but I’ve got a solid appreciation for a good clove or Lucky Strike. They run plenty here, and they’re well cheap. (There’s also a humidor room for the cigars, which, as a collector of cigar boxes, I think is nifty.)
So, run to this store for a cultural experience. Keep your dentist filling those teeth – they need business in these recessionary times!

All the milky chocolates, tooth-​disintegrating sweets and massively overpriced teabags you can eat, singing songs of old Albion together in one rather peculiar store, which also carries, as the sign says, cigars and very reasonably priced high-​end cigarettes (Dunhill and Nat Sherman for less than $ 7).
It’s almost worth trekking out to NoVA for, as if Clarendon Ballroom wasn’t enough.

Every year a friend of mine would go visit family in the UK and I would ask him to bring back Smarties (basically M&M’s with a better chocolate) or British Cadbury chocolate. Well, the relatives have started to come here and I needed to find a place to find my fix. A British chocolate «dealer» so to speak. I found it here!
The name of the place suggests a foofy upper-​crust Brit establishment. Pish posh! Once inside, it is much like an American convenience store. This store is right across from the Clarendon Metro so it is a great place to stop if you need that snacky fit– perhaps a Lilt soda (a more citrusy version of Sprite) and some crisps (chips).
Of course, they have a wide selection of cigars including Habanas. as well as a walk in humidor.
