    I've been in here twice and I wish I had paid attention to the name of the young man who helped me. I can honestly tell you that I know as much about cigars as I do about astrophysics. NOTHING. We had found samplers online that we thought they would have in-stock at their local retail locations. Unfortunately they don't so I let the young man know which products we had intended on buying. He found me samplers that were comparable in price and quality. My second time stopping in - I asked him for some medium bodied cigars in a certain price range but didn't know where to start looking. He found me seven and explained each cigar that he pulled from the shelves. As a woman, walking into an establishment like this can be pretty intimidating. I can't thank them enough for making me feel comfortable and welcomed. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable in each product he pulled.

    Brendon was very knowledgeable in helping us choose a medium body cigar! Place was clean, smelled lovely (like cigars) and highly recommended if into cigars at all!

    May be a bit small but to me nice.

    Now true this lounge/shop as the guy working admitted is the smallest of their ones deeming they got five ones but times the small ones have the nicest things of all. Variety is there no doubt & oh yes they do sell their own lines which are a bit linked with a few of the major ones mixed into their own blend to form their line which they sell. Smokes are good & pricewise low in my book & the humidor got good stock with major & all the stuff man this is good. Oh yes they do got coffee/water & this is good & yes they even got a enclosed outside one to boot.

    Great cigar spot. This Emerson's location actually has a covered enclosure on the side of the building where you can smoke outside! They have a Solid cigar selection at this location as well. Brady was The cigar specialist on site and he was extremely knowledgeable. He actually helped my brother DJ and I find the perfect stick for our celebratory occasion!

    Cozy outdoor smoke lounge.

    Friendly staff and a surprisingly good selection of tinned pipe tobaccos in addition to their bulk offerings.

    I come in this store for two things... cigars and cigar lighters. Originally, I went to the Smoke…read moreShack because I had to send my Xikar Desktop Lighter back for repair. It typically takes about four weeks to get it back in the mail so I knew I'd be w/o my love for a while. I wanted a cheap lighter that I could refuel and Emerson's (my go to) wanted $60+ bucks. Well, I didn't need another Xikar, just something to get me by... and here sat this little gem on Independence. The first few times I went in for just a lighter (first time for me, second time for my husband), I expected to spend about $25. Nope, these guys had little double flame pocket lighters for $15. Score! The next few times I went in I actually checked out the humidor... I didn't expect them to have too much, despite the size, but they did. Fuente Exquisitos of $2.65 (same as Emerson's), Casa Magna Pekitos, which are crazy rare, not too many people even carry that size ($4), and most phenomenally... dirt cheap ass Padron's! Say what!!! Yes my friend, $10.25 for a Padron '64. I thought it was a damn typo. Now, I don't recall how much they are at Emerson's, but I do know that I pay $11 for the '26 Principe. As for things that help but don't really matter since their cigars & accessories kick ass, lol. The people who work there are cool as hell... they're just chill people. So yeah, if you're a stogie lover, you're probably buying most of your stuff online and at Emerson's, both of which are great places to buy, but I definitely recommend checking out the Smoke Shack because they have great prices too, and you may find a few sticks that they don't have other tobacco spots in the Hampton Roads area.

    I have been coming to this location for close to a year now. I absolutely love coming to this…read morelocation in particular. One of the reasons I come here is the selection of cigars. They have one of the best selection in the Hampton Roads area. You can find your popular named sticks along with boutique brands as well. Not only can you find well sort after Cigars here but you can get them at a great price as well. They come out cheaper than their leading competitor almost every time. Smoke shack also encourages feedback and suggestions on what sticks to bring in. Another reason I like coming here is because of the lounge and the smoking hours that they hold. There are two TVs that have a seating area lined with leather couches and recliners. Along with this relaxed atmosphere the lounge comes with some pretty awesome regulars that enhance the smoking experience. They host cigar events where vendors come with swag and some pretty good deals on boxes and bundles. One of my fondest memories here was when I watched the National Championship game here. It was an awesome time and they stayed open late so we could watch the entire game. No other cigar shop in town was doing that, major points in my book. My only gripe about this location is the lounge is a little small but I think it is designed that way to feel like you're in your buddy's man cave having a stick. Though I come here solely for cigars; you can get cigarettes, vape products, lottery tickets and snacks here too. Pretty much all of your tobacco needs can be met here, definitely stop by and check them out.
