Tinder Box

Smoke em if you got em!
Tinder Box is a pretty solid cigar bar and maybe the best all around cigar bar in the PG area. Plenty of smokes for sale, plenty of seating, both barstools and couches and finally lots of TVs for game day viewing. TB offers a fully stocked bar that’s fairly priced. The also have tons of lockers for the true connoisseurs to rent to protect and store their finest stogies.
The demerits TB earn are obvious, fair and quite possible easily solved. TB needs food: a weekend buffet or a small limited menu would be a major improvement over ordering from the local carry-​out as many do each night. (The other MD cigar bars prescribe to the same process of allowing you to order delivery as well). Secondly TB suffers from poor ventilation, again as most cigar bars do, often sending you home smelling like a walking ashtray. A couple of ceiling exhaust fans would probably do the job. Lastly TB bathrooms could use a little upgrading.
That being said I thoroughly enjoyed my evening at TB. The staff was nice and friendly and the patrons were respectful and fun to jaw with throughout the game. I will most certainly be returning.

How does a cigar lounge receive five stars? Here’s how! Be better than all the other cigar lounge’s within a 20 mile radius. Aphelion Cigar Lounge, Cigars 210 and Aroma Cigar Lounge pale in comparison! Tinder Box is more than twice the size of these other lounges and they offer a full bar. The aforementioned lounges are BYOB! Aphelion has beer and wine but they can’t sell it. They want you to make an educated donation if you know what I mean.LOL. Civil Cigar lounge does offer a full service bar but it doesn’t meet the 20 mile radius criteria!!! Tinder box has a HUGE cigar and cigar accessory selection… One stop shopping at it’s finest. This is a GREAT place to watch a game, because they have several large flat screens, comfortable leather chairs and sofas along with high top bar tables throughout! Shelly’s Backroom on F Street is my favorite Cigar spot because not only do they have a bar, they have really good food, so they get 6******‘s!
As far as cigar smoking goes, I consider myself a novice but even my cigar aficionado buddies would agree with my 5 star rating!!! Tinder Box is my «go to «spot to kick back, relax and smoke a stogie!

It has been some time since I’ve been here but heard that they remodeled and expanded. I was just going in to purchase a few cigars to take on vacation but was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. They have a lounge in addition to the store. I didn’t go to that side but was impressed enough that I’ll be back. I asked a staff member a few questions because I wanted to try something new. He was very helpful in assisting me in my selections. Prices are comparable and often better than other cigar shops in the area. Well worth the drive.

This is one of the nicest cigar shops I have ever been in. A walk-​in humidor with so many selections. Nice knowledgeable staff, relaxing environment with jazz playing and a full bar. Pricing is reasonable for the area. I would definitely come back if I was in Waldorf again.

I absolutely LOVE this place! It gets smokey with a lot of people present but the aroma is so intoxicating, it’s not an issue to me.
The selection is awesome and the prices are very reasonable; they have a great bar with both alcoholic and non-​alcoholic beverages to pair with your cigars; the lounge is very sizable with comfy leather chairs as well as tables for seating; plenty of flat screen televisions to watch sporting events, especially football in the fall and NCAA March Madness tourney action in the spring.
The best thing about the Tinderbox is the staff and the regular patrons. I’ve only been coming a little more frequently over the past few weeks and the staff has always been friendly and the patrons have no problems saying hello to you.
All in all, if you live on the Southside of D.C. or areas close to Waldorf, come to Da Box and relax!

Plenty of room. Nice people. Great drinks. Excellent cigar selections! Had some exclusive 1926s as well as Family Reserves!

Met a colleague here to relax a while back and was pleasantly surprised at the welcoming atmosphere! The staff was very nice and helpful. The relaxing vibe of a place to enjoy a cigar and watch a sporting event of just to read or converse with others is where you want to be. No stressed out high-​brows here!

Very legit place felt like a man cave on the inside… football playing dudes chilling very chill spot… no drama… but the only thing I can complain about is the wobly tables and the small bar… I think the bar should be a little bigger also the drinks are pretty expensive… other than that there’s really no place better in Waldorf to go drink chill and have a chill time. you can see by how many times I said the word «chill» its obviously very chill lol

Well let me begin with now I see why the regulars frequent ‘Da Box’ as we call it so much. It’s a cigar lovers paradise, male or female, if you enjoy smoking cigars this is your home.
When I first started going I wondered why I would see the same people there time and time again now I’m one of the people that I was wondering about. It’s everything you could want all wrapped up into one, a cigar lounge, watering hole, a sports bar and a comedy club all rolled into one. Oh I forgot to mention you can order some of the best food in town that will be delivered right to your table.
The selection of cigars is second to none from Davidoff, Liga Privada, Tatajue, Jaime Garcia and Gurkha to name a few. Come grab a stick and fine scotch sit back and watch the games while being entertained by local comedians, smh. There’s no place like ‘Da Box’

A great place to hang and have a smoke. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Good pipe tobacco selection.

I love tinder box! They have a really chill and relaxing atmosphere. The employees are amazing, they help answer any question you have and give great advice on what you might like. They have a great cigar, pipe tobacco, and hookah selection and their bar is always fully stocked.

Caps, cigars, and beer :)

Large selection of cigars and plenty of hookah devices. Beer was relatively cheap ($ 5 for a Dogfish Head IPA). Great atmosphere. Only reason I give it a 4 because they need a better ventilation system.

Shut the Front Door! WOW! What an incredible place! I can’t believe years of driving by this location and missing out on this glorious spot! Maybe the lack of detailed reviews because I’ve Unilocal this place before and didn’t find much interest to visit. So here it goes!
Cigars: Amazing selection! There’s a large walk-​in humidor room with their finest premium cigars. Tinderbox is also a Davidoff Appointed Merchant!
Staff: Knowledgeable with their entire selection of cigars and extremely helpful!
Bar: YES they have a bar! I’m a hennessy guy so when they had XO… goodness. The prices are amazing! My first visit there, I ordered a SHOT and i swear it was like 2 shots and half! Johnny Walker Gold, Green and Blue, Macallan 21, Balvenie Scotches, Ron Zacapa XO Rum, Patron Tequila, Hennessey and Remy cognacs, including Remy Extra, Crown Royal as well as ports and sherry, just to name a few!
Lounge: Spacious and luxurious! Lots of flat screen TVs and beautiful art décor surround the lounge. They have 217 lockers for customers to store their precious cigars which has a waiting list and I totally understand why! The people there are so nice and friendly! I’ve been pulled by a few individuals that notice I was new to Tinderbox and welcomed me with open arms. «You’re now part of the family» he said.
My advise to the owner (s), PLEASE advertise this amazing place and share with the locals! All the wonderful perks like piano night on Wednesday night! The website could use some work in my opinion.
But overall, definitely a guys-​night-​out spot or just to relax and enjoy life!

When in Waldorf… go here! I’ve been to a handful of cigar lounges and this is the by far the best. It’s so unassuming; filled with cigar smoke (worthy of a fog machine-​filled middle school dance) and friendly folks. I feel manly when I’m there surrounded by middle aged gentlemen, drinking a nice beverage and watching a game on one of the many tvs, inhaling straight, fresh smoke. You also leave smelling like a million bucks!

This is one of my favorites, if not my favorite place to go in the entire DMV. If you love cigars, scotch, conversation, or to be left alone, this is the place.
This is an old timey place with lots of people who just want to come somewhere to smoke chill and relax. The guys who run it are now like family members to me because they make you feel that comfortable.
There are not a lot of ladies in this spot, but the guys do not harass you. This is not a hook up spot, its where you can go and feel safe and get your cheers moment on.
Some of the tallest, biggest pours you can get for the price. Amazing cigar and even more amazing cigar connoisseur who can help you with any questions.
They also recently started selling hookahs and the related materials which is perfect for me too! You can’t smoke hookah inside, but you can get your goods for home.

Yep This is the place To go if You Want a good cigar and just Relax And Chill and Puff On a nice stick and Have Drink the staff is very knowledgeable and Helpful they Will find the Right cigar to your taste

If you smoke cigars, this is a nice reasonably priced place to go. Everyone is friendly. There is no bad time to go. Try the Bloody Mary at 11:00 am, you will be glad you did.

I LOVE this place!!! Generous drinks and friendly people!!!

Great place for a smoke and to watch the game. Nice lounge area, plus they have a little bar if you want a drink. Walk in humidor, with a wide variety of cigars. I live in DC, so the drive sucks but when I go home to visit family in Hampton. I always stop in to get a smoke.
