For our fourth location, we decided to expand into Richmond, Virginia with big dreams of what we could offer. We opened our doors December 17, 2020 and hit the ground running. This store became a local favorite overnight and it is not hard to see why. You can walk through our custom-built gallery and see the intricate details of each piece up close and personal.
We have traveled to glass conventions like CHAMPS and Glass Vegas in order to stock our shelves with the best heady glass from all over the country. We also love supporting the many local glass artists in the area. That’s why we are their first stop in town!
You won’t find a larger collection of locally blown glass anywhere else in the city. We carry top glass brands like Mothership, Roor, Medicali, Sheldon Black, and MJ Arsenal along with a variety of accessories to choose from that will enhance your smoking experience.
Our staff will help you pick out the right equipment for you. With brands like Bear Quartz, Temple, and Nastee, we have your banger needs covered and for cost-effective options, we have Glasslab 303 and Envy among others. Don’t forget your mood matt!
Whether you are a cigar aficionado or a beginner, we have the right cigar for you. Our walk-in humidor is a masterpiece with ceiling-to-floor shelves packed with brands like Cohiba, Ashton, Rocky Patel, Gurkha, and Padron. Let’s not forget the flavored cigars like Drew Estates, Tatianas, or CAO.
You can also find plenty of cigar accessories like Colibri windproof lighters. Perfect for when you are out on the boat or having a game of golf, don’t let the wind hold you back from enjoying one of life’s simple pleasures.
Along with the standard accessories you can find at all our locations, we carry the Nugsmasher as it sets us apart from the rest. These purpose-built machines are exclusively designed for Rosin extraction. Come by and check them out!
Our staff will be happy to explain how they work and answer any questions. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking to use a solvent, like butane or propane, or going solventless, Capitol Smoke will have what’s needed to get you going in your concentrate endeavor.
From industrial to personal size presses, Capitol Smoke will have you covered no matter the budget or square footage available to you. Micromesh screens and pure solvents to microfiber bags and parchment, or glass tubing and clamps, Capitol Smoke has everything required for your extraction process. We also carry things to help with decarboxylation and infusions.
The magical butter machine is just one of many such machines carried by us. However, you will find all your usual favorites such as Game, Dutch Masters, and Backwoods alogn with Zig Zag, Element, and RAW for all your tobacco and rolling needs. With shelves fully stocked with disposable vapes, smoke odor candles, incense and more to choose from, we have all your smoke shop needs in one convenient place.
It is hard to believe it has been over a year since we opened! It’s true what they say about time flying when you are having fun and if you haven’t been to one of our events yet, don’t worry we will be having more throughout the upcoming year.
From our larger events on 4/20 to our artist collaboration glass shows, keep a look out for our next big event and take advantage of our amazing sales! Until then, we hope to see you pass by as we do our best to create a proper smoke shop experience in Richmond.
We had big hopes and dreams as of what we could offer Richmond in terms of the very best Smoke & glass shop. Many long days went into this creation; an expansion of what has been created down in NC with our patriarchal stores: Island Tobacco in Nags Head, Capitol Smoke in Raleigh & Capitol Smoke in Elizabeth City.
“Experience a Proper smoke Shop” is our motto. We want to provide the best in quality of products for the communities we serve. We will teach you everything we know.
Every interaction is special, and we always do our best to give you quality headie glass at a quality headie price. The glass community is a family we are all about growing and supporting, especially here in Richmond.

Introducing line work genius @j_spaga
•
“Started blowing glass in 2014. Works out of baltimore MD. I blow glass on a Bethlehem bravo. Started melting when a good friend moved back home and started a glassblowing shop, l wanted somone to work with so they taught me the ropes. Always been a lineworker, been my obsession since day 1!”
•
We think it’s something special to know a little about the artist in which we are finding homes for work.
•
Hope you are just as amazed as we are.

Georgia Homie @the_terp_tool_company simply wanted to make tools that are beautiful and functional.
•
“I didn’t like that most tools are just a piece of metal… as a daily dabber; a sticky dab tool was a pain in the ass always… so I wanted to make a tool that kept the metal off the table surface and fit in the hand well. Customer satisfaction is key to me. Hearing customers say they are happy with my tools is the best. “
•
Spending most of his adult life in the army; he is now a disabled vet. “Whenever I hear someone say my tools help, size, weight, etc with any physical issues always makes me feel good. I was honestly surprised on how many people struggle with the small tiny tools. So making something that helps people medicate easier and in style. That’s a win win .”
•
“I just want to make the highest quality tools i can and love seeing people put them to work.”

Bennie moved to Asheville, NC in the late 90’s where some friends introduced him to flameworking and hot glass. He continued working with glass, creating sculptural work, functional objects, and glass drawings.
•
Currently, he combines different glass drawing techniques like disc flips, cut and flips, and implosions to create colorful functional objects. Some of his influences are abstract art, psychedelic art, and graffiti. Welcome some

“Hey out there! @bigtoeglass here raised in manassas va , i came down to RVA 16 years ago for VCU. Graduated in Bioinformatics & since 2011 ive been in the pipetrade slingin pipes out of the house and at festivals in the beginning. RVA has introduced me to some great artists and great friends that have led me to where i am today. Meltin glass since 2014 and always striving for high functioning pieces with some class. i am currently living in Chesterfield va with the lovely @whenchronicpaints where she handcuts and lays the sandblasted designs that appear on some of my work. We love teamwerkin. Ive always enjoyed sculpted glass especially when it grosses you out so stay tuned for more weird to come. Contrary to popular belief my toes are pretty normal. Stay high.”

A common question after an autism diagnosis is “what is the cause of autism?”We know that there's no one cause of autism. Research suggests that autism develops from a combination of genetic and nongenetic, or environmental, influences. These influences appear to increase the risk that a child will develop autism.
•
On average an estimated 1 in 44 children will be born on the spectrum.
•
More than 5.4 million adults in the U.S. or 2.2% of the U.S. population fall on autism spectrum.
•
To bring awareness and comfort for those adjusting to life on the spectrum this month we are joining @otakurva to raise a little dough for the @autismsocietycentralva !
•
Raffle tickets are $1 a piece. Contest goes January 8th - February 8th. Winner will be chosen on the evening of February 8th and receive a stacked exotic snack pack to enjoy!
•
“The number of children born with Autism grows every year, which is mind blowing to me. My 3 year old has Autism. My girlfriend has some family that is Autistic, and many of my old co workers have autistic children. Definitely want to raise awareness; for instance, Elon Musk has a form a Autism so …. it’s not all bad. If worked with correctly these children can take over the world like him.” @otakurva

“It was fun working with Mitch. I create shrimp and squid sculptures. When he approached me for a collab for a glass of a sort we came up with the shrimp cocktail idea. Shrimp move in the night while the tides rise and fall hence the crescent opal moon accents. Mitch added the aliens to tie the whole goblet together. The aquatic aliens & the extra terrestrial in space.” @steinackerart

You could be drippin with that ocean alien swag….come make this beautiful gold fumed @lizwrightglass & @map_glass milli octopus pendant yours or gift it to your favorite human 💗
•
We asked Liz what it was like working with MAP, what makes her choose the aquatic scene and if she believes in aliens and she graciously replied…
“It was awesome working with Mitch, I always love collaborating with my friends. I’ve known Mitch pretty much since I moved to Richmond in 2013, he helped me get into VCU’s glassblowing program.
•
I like making sea life because I grew up in a beach town and it makes me feel connected to my childhood. I was drawn to octopuses as my “muse” because I find them incredibly interesting and mysterious. They change colors and can almost shape-shift so there’s a lot of freedom to interpret them with glass.
•
I love the theory that octopuses are aliens! I really feel like the ocean is an otherworldly atmosphere all together, it’s so different from what we’re accustomed to. And I think because of that, we don’t understand the magnitude of the damage we’re doing to our oceans (or at least it’s a lot easier to ignore it). I believe if aliens ever have visited earth they probably would have gone to the ocean first.”

Mitch Petersen known as @map_glass grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. He moved to Richmond, Virginia to study art at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2007. MAP received his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Sculpture, with a minor in Glass Fabrication. He currently resides in Richmond, VA blowing glass for his self-made company, MAPGlass LLC.
•
Map finds inspiration from his personal extraterrestrial experiences. His encounters helped “MAP” innovate functional glassware incorporating E.T. designs, including but not limited to vivid, colorful milliefiori containing images of stars, swirls , ufos and E.T. images.

You deserve a nice Christmas present ; hell if you don’t celebrate the holidays … then you deserve something nice in general. Point blank.
