When I started the Old Town Crier in January of 1988, John Crouch Tobacconist was an established business in the 100 block of King Street. Over the years, as Old Town grew, the need for more space became more urgent. In the early 90’s the shop moved to their current location at 215 King Street. On February 1, 2022, the team of Tom Readmond, Dennis Polio and John Pann took over ownership of the iconic Old Town landmark and it remains the oldest continuous operating smoke shop in Alexandria.
Cigars rely deeply on constant humidity to keep them fresh which maintains its authentic flavor. Therefore, our cigars are housed in a specialized room, with specific temperature and moisture levels, to ensure its top condition and quality is maintained. Stop by and view our walk-in humidor room where we store our cigar collection from name brands all over the world.
Having a cigar is a feeling that reminds some of old traditions and values, to reflect on moments of the day, relax, and have a conversation with a fellow cigar afficionado. Some may enjoy cigar bars or lounges, but others may enjoy the comfort of a good old local tobacco shop with good cigars, conversation, and a comfortable place to relax. Come on by and relax with us in our cigar lounge for your leisure and pleasure!
