    My girl broke her piece, so I decided to get her a new one to make her happy. We had a budget, where the most we wanted to spend was $100. She actually suggested to come to Paramount Imports because she's been here before (between the two of us, she's the expert on these things). She called ahead to see if they had any discounts on glass pieces and the lady on the phone mentioned that she can get a discount because she asked. The deal was to get a $100 glass for $80. Once we get there, the lady (I wish I got her name because she was awesome!) at the front showed us different glass pieces. My girl got the 9mm, basically it's a thick glass that won't be prone to breaking *crosses fingers.* We got a case for it which was a medium sized green cushion that looks like a pillow hah. Also, I didn't even know this existed, but you can get poker for the glass piece to poke out the ash. The lady was nice enough to let us choose. They have a website and instagram that you can check out. Instagram: paramountimports Website: www.paramountimports.com I believe the best thing to do it to (1) call ahead and (2) let them know what you're looking for and (3) see if they're willing to give a discount. Check out this place because they have a lot of other cool things like incense, band tees and other cannabis essentials.

    Incense

    I bought 15 boxes of incense so over $30 worth and i came straight in and knew what i wanted and either u get ignored by the chinese man or white man or they take there precious time . It took him 10 minutes to ring up some incense . Or they stare at you and watch you like a hawk I've been coming here for years and then when I say years, I mean years,!!! 8 years plus but lately the last few times I came they are very unwelcoming and racially profile people. If you're Hispanic, they're gonna think you're thiefs. Last time I came with my sister and they kept watching us hovering over us and then when we wanted to check out, they prioritize their own kind if you're white you're gonna get treated better my sister was going to spend $70 worth of items and the man didn't help her out. He helped out a man who came in us wasn't even ready to check out they took their precious time. They took so long. We ended up staying there for what felt like an hour. Again I came this morning with my mom and the white dude short changed my mom. It's like they're worried about us stealing, but they are the ones being thieves. I'm all in for supporting small businesses, but not this business anymore considering I've been a long time customer and now I'm getting treated like a thief and I know it's not just me because my aunt goes there and my friends and they said that they've been getting the same encounters and they look at you like a thief if u are hispanic.

    Everything is reasonably priced and they always hook it up with little gifts like lighters or incense.

    My first encounter with Mission Pipe shop was in 1999 at their original Town and Country location…read more Great selection of cigars and welcoming staff. When they moved to The Alameda, I still enjoyed the selection and the staff but I never felt comfortable hanging out in the lounge area. Donna always made me feel welcome in her shop, though. At the latest location, under Craig's ownership, I feel truly welcome and comfortable. It's such a nice store with an impressive selection. Then you add the comfortable outdoor lounge and the spacious indoor lounge and it is like a paradise! We only visit San Jose a few times a year and when we do, we try to find time to enjoy the space. This weekend, we visited on a Saturday. They had my favorite cigar (Tabernacle broadleaf double corona) and my husband and I secured comfortable chairs in the indoor lounge. It was a smaller crowd but just like last time, everyone said hi to us and as new regular customers arrived, they also greeted us. We met some new people, including Craig the owner, and had a lovely time reading (me) and watching sports. You think this place couldn't get any better but wait! They also have a sparkling clean bathroom. I'm already looking for another reason to travel to San Jose.

    Great service and selection, I am smoking a Jaime Garcia toro. Great prices. Carry all my favorite…read morecigars. Smoked here for years. Owner is a great person. Watching Onpatrollive.
