I'm done giving Mystics a chance. I've shopped here for hookah tobacco 3 times in the past 6 months. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 star because prices are super cheap.
Unfortunately, there's good reason for the low prices. Every package of tobacco I've brought home has been unusable, either dried out or mildewed/soured. No matter the brand, when I purchase tobacco at Mystics I throw money away. Clearly they need a better tobacco supplier, because I have purchased the exact same brands/products from other stores and online sellers and been 100% satisfied.
The whole store also has this weird vibe like it's going out of business next week. Lot's of half empty shelves and racks. The tobacco selection is incredibly sparse, maybe 2-3 brands on any day and less than a dozen flavors to choose from. Every time I walk in, the store is dead and it takes several minutes for a clerk to emerge begrudgingly from the back. It seems like they're not interested in my tobacco purchase. Plus the store has so few products with so many of them covered in dust it almost doesn't seem like a legitimate business, but a front for something less wholesome read more
