Smokes & Such was bought out by the most shady and unprofessional people. Went in twice since they…read morewhere bought out. Each experience left me shaking my head in regret. 1st off, the dude who runs the shop is inappropriate. Brought my woman in and he could not stop staring at her, so keep that in mind if you are trying to find a good head shop because this no longer is. 2and, this guy ups ALL of the prices and loves his punchline, "You can't find better prices than here..". Yes you can. Tyson wraps are less than $4 a piece. He tries selling them at $6 a piece, then ties to hook you into buying 4 to get 1 free so you'd pay $24 + Tax for something that should cost you $20 + Tax for 5 wraps payed in full. This guy does this to ALL the wraps man, doesn't matter which ones you get. 3rd, this guy judged me by my looks before he tried to sell me. What I mean is, I came in and the first thing he tried selling me on was an overpriced (because he's ripping you off), updated PAX vaporizer, for nearly $400 when it really was roughly $50 cheaper off the PAX website. I mean thanks for assuming I'd pay for that, but no true salesman would start with one of the MOST expensive items in their inventory unless they where either judging you or simply trying to make you buy as much as possible (which he does too). 4th is, this guy follows you around the store giving you no free space. He's always in our bubble following us around everywhere, constantly asking what we wanted and suggesting everything he can think of. That makes the experience stuffy, but honestly you can't even browse the shop without his paranoid self breathing down your neck. 5th, this guy tried to sell me a case of 10 Acid Cigars with 9 cigars in it. Glad I checked before I bought it. However, if you call him on it, he blames the company that makes the cigars, like come on.. be original at least. 6th is, the guy thought I was underage the first time I came here after the switch in ownership, but after checking my ID he still wasn't satisfied and wound up admitting that he sold to underage minors, and got in trouble for it already. 7th and final note is, there are so many options out there for great glass and selection, but for these inappropriate, stuffy, paranoid people keeping the name of a once successful and wonderful business to try to pretend that that their the same wonderful shop that tended to it's community's smoking needs and then some, is pathetic and misleading. 0 stars if I could. Change the name to Rip-offs'R'Us.

In particular, the "Rosalia" brand of cigars from Nicaragua that are made for the store exclusively, and their "Trading Post" brands have all have a blend of 4 flavors. These cigars compete with those costing double, and the "Entubar" constructed box press cigars are some of the best at any price. Great cigars for those looking for an hour long smoke! Both the Connecticut and Maduro blends are outstanding.

By far the best eCig shop I've found in the city…read more First of all, I should tell you about the people: These eCigs aren't all that complicated, but when you don't have a clue at what your looking at, the options and terminology can get a bit overwhelming. This is where the folks at Hot Vapes shine -- they are awesome. Unlike other shops I'd been to, everyone here was amazingly helpful, patient, and didn't make me feel like an idiot because I didn't have a graduate degree in electrical engineering. They walked me through all the options, from the basic kits on up to the advanced stuff. They explained the differences and didn't try to "up-sell" me to the expensive equipment -- instead, they helped me find the device that fit me best. Next, there's the equipment: They have most everything you'd want -- from super basic stuff, to the the advanced, and everything in between. I ended up falling somewhere in the middle and picked up an iTaste SVD ... It's easy to use, lets you customize power settings to adjust the vapor levels and taste, and is really durable. It also holds a couple different types of rechargeable batteries -- I use a large one for when I'm at work which lasts a day or two between charges, and a smaller one when I'm heading out for the night and want something a bit more discreet. Finally, there's the "Juice" or eLiquid: THEY HAVE THEIR OWN LAB! They have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 different flavors to choose from, a tasting station where you can try them all, and are great at helping you find something you'll like. They make everything to order, so you may have to wait 5-10 minutes, but it's well worth the wait. You can also ask them to "customize" the flavors a bit if you want. For people trying to find a replacement for a "real" cigarette, they have the only liquid I've found that actually gives you the taste of an actual cigarette -- not just a tobacco leaf flavor, but something that comes amazingly close to the burning paper and tobacco taste you'd get from the real deal. It's called... get this: ILLUSION. So, on to the con: They have a sign, but it's on the inside and only visible if you're looking through their front window. On my first attempt to find them, I gave up. On my second attempt, I passed them twice despite my GPS telling me when I'd arrived. Guys! Get a sign on the OUTSIDE of the building. *** Update *** - No more cons! They have a sign! Bottom line: Great people, amazing selection of flavors, good selection of eCigs and equipment. They're my official go-to and the best shop in the city.
