From cigars, vape products to cbd oils and gummies. The guys behind the counter were very helpful. You can tell they wanted you to be a long time returning customer. However, one thing I didn't like was they weren't wearing a mask!! And during these times they should be to protect themselves and customers. That was my only real issue. Besides that, it is a good place to get your fix! LOL!

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.

Their prices are average to high but I still go out of my way to buy my vapes here because they carry the flavor and brand I prefer. Not just once, they restock it regularly.
