Smoke Island

Smoke Island at 1326 Wisconsin Avenue NW is a tobacco and smoke shop in the mid-Georgetown commercial district, providing the cigars, the hookah tobacco and equipment, and the smoking accessories that the Georgetown tobacco and hookah community uses from the Wisconsin Avenue commercial address. The smoke shop at this Wisconsin Avenue mid-commercial address serves both the Georgetown tobacco enthusiast’s demand for the premium cigar and the pipe tobacco and the Georgetown hookah community’s demand for the shisha tobacco, the hookah equipment, and the hookah accessories that the social smoking tradition of the hookah requires.

The hookah tradition, which has its origins in the Ottoman Empire and which spread through the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia before becoming a global social smoking practice, involves the water pipe in which the shisha tobacco is heated above the bowl by the charcoal, and the resulting smoke is drawn through the water chamber that cools and filters the smoke before the smoker inhales it through the long flexible hose. The Georgetown social hookah experience, which the hookah lounge and the social smoking occasion provides, has developed a following in the Georgetown and the Washington young professional community.

The cigar selection at Smoke Island provides the Georgetown cigar customer with the premium cigar options from the Dominican, the Honduran, and the Nicaraguan producers that constitute the post-embargo American cigar market’s primary sources of the premium cigar.
