They were very helpful in getting us set up with a new hookah pipe, shisha and coals. We went in on a Saturday night around 8 pm, explained the pipes, shisha selection and recommendations to very well. There was no pressure whatsoever to purchase anything. They were kind to explain why coconut shell coals are an option compared to traditional three kings and why they recommend each. It was a lovely experience and both my husband and I knew it and said it as soon as we stepped out. They were very gay friendly.

Extremely disappointing experience with Smoke Island on 11230 Georgia Avenue…read more My husband called around 11:00 PM on a Wednesday night - well within their posted hours (they advertise being open until 2:00 AM) - just to confirm they were open over Easter weekend. Despite calling during business hours, the person who answered was immediately rude and dismissive. It got even more uncomfortable when my husband asked about a few products. The man on the phone suddenly became suspicious and started speaking to him like he was a police officer or a narc, which was completely uncalled for and honestly quite off-putting. What makes it worse is that the exact products he asked about are clearly listed on their website for anyone to see. So, the attitude of the man speaking with my husband - and his defensiveness - made (and still makes) absolutely no sense. If you're going to advertise late hours, you should be prepared to speak to customers professionally during those hours. Customer service like this is a great way to lose business, and we won't ever be returning.

It was so hard to keep the heat from burning the shisha and the quick lights were going out very fast (2 in an hour). My first visit I was a little overwhelmed and just bought the coco charcoals and stuck them somewhere in my house. Today I figured I would just get a bigger tray and bigger bowl for my small hookah. Not to mention an additional hose. Well people were coming and going and I was all confused. The lady was like why don't you just buy a bigger hookah????? Duh Not what I had gone in for but it made sense. Looked at a larger Mya hookah with a cage. How perfect was that. My small one seemed like a fire hazard with the short hose and small tray leaving ashes going everywhere. At this point I have the new larger hookah at the register (larger bowl, tray and bigger longer hose). Grab some more shisha and out the door. Did buy some more coco charcoals not really sure they were the ones I had bought before. Cleaned it and prepared my hookah. Coals took literally 7 mins. Started with one coal not a lot of smoke a lot of pull from me though. Added another coal..... We have a winner!!!!! This made my weekend. My little hookah will be used only when traveling. Oh the coco coals are awesome!!!! Burnt my finger thinking because it was black that it was not lit. This place has all you need and more. Great quality of items with a large selection. Really good customer service. They seem to know their regulars.

My wonderful neighbors are such a delight & I learned that the Mr. enjoyed cigars, especially since…read morethe Mrs. is originally from Cuba. The irony, as Cortez Cigars was the vendor used for last year's company Holiday Gala, so it was cool to pop in as a passer-by. Shawn was the Cigar Curator where he gestured us in to this dimmed, pretty clear air (not a heavy smoke presence), dark wood/leather furniture & just the right amount of rustic artwork lounge. There's 3 display cases to choose your stogie of your choice, & all of the necessities to enjoy fully. If you choose to delight in house, you can sit amongst a small square table or in the recliners against the brick wall. The small layout provides a relaxing & quant indoor venue for the cigar enthusiasts. My OCD caught hand sanitizer, mints & some other grooming aids for the before & after of partaking in the chohibas....a classy VIP touch. I saw empty bottles of expensive libations, so my summation would be you can BYO, as I didn't see any products on display or for sale...if I missed it, my bad. & what great timing as soon as I walked into my building, my neighbor was walking out & I unexpectedly bestowed the foil bag & lighting accessories upon him. For the cigar lovers in the SS vicinity, this is the place to be to enjoy a tightly-rolled bundle of various types & sizes of dried and fermented tobacco leaf.
