I hope I have the spelling correct and she may be the owner. She was so pleasant and helpful I had to write a review. Her store is very small and has limited confectionery supplies and goods; located on the main floor of a downtown office building. Very clean and comfortable. She seems to have many regulars who know her well. I believe she is a smart business person with wonderful charisma. You have to go experience for yourself and see what you think, be sure to talk to Yanni; she is very approachable.

We went into the humidor and the clerk hovered over us and advised we couldn't touch or smell the cigars. They are all sealed in plastic! I'm certainly not going to buy a cigar that is rock hard, you have to feel them. And we certainly aren't going to try and steal them and shove them down our shirts while he's standing right there! Good Grief! We actually did pick some cigars that we had purchased in the past and liked. They cost over $500. I paid with my credit card. The clerk bagged up the cigars, handed them over to me without looking in my direction. As we walked out the door he said "Thank You Sir". ...Okay, that's just down right rude! I turned and replied, "Perhaps you should thank the person who paid!". We won't be back. There are plenty of other cigar shops in Calgary where you can get friendly service and not be treated as if you are going to steal something.

I have no real cigars knowledge and Joseph's recommends were perfect. I got so many "girlfriend brownie points" for the cigars and the presentation was immaculate. I wanted to give my boyfriend a special gift that didn't included cupcakes for valentines and Joseph definitely helped me nail it. They hand delivered this glorious selection and my boyfriend couldn't wait to light one up. Smoked perfectly. Amazing customer service. I'm over the moon with the whole experience and cannot wait for another occasion to shop again. Trustworthy, quality, and reliable.

Hemporium! That's hemp mixed with emporium... just in case you didn't get that!…read more I visit Hemporium ever so often to purchase the delicious smelling incense Nag Champa. Hemporium has a very wide selection of incense, which aren't actually priced that bad... unlike other things in the place. I realize that most stuff is supposed to be hand-crafted, but come on! It surprises me that people would manufacture environmentally friendly clothing, purses, pipes, herbs, etc. yet price all their stuff ridiculously! Some of the stuff is pretty nice, but waaay to expensive for me. I'll stick with the cheap stuff, thank you very much! The only really good thing about this place is the kitty they have roaming around. It's so cute and friendly and I love it! I wish the people helping were as innocent and pleasurable as the cat... that would certainly be nice.

When I first moved to Calgary, this was the first head shop I came across, and though I've…read morediscovered countless others since, it'll always have a special place in my heart (and lungs!). Although calling the Hemporium a head shop is not really doing it justice. That's because in addition to the usual vaporizers, pipes, bongs, papers, and paraphanalia, they also have a great selection of hemp clothing and literature available. I've been here dozens of times, and regardless of who's working, the service has always been helpful and the staff themselves are a downright delight. So keep on Truckin' down to the Hemporium - you'll be "Grateful" you did!

Adam provides such a great customer experience which really makes his shop stand out above any…read moreother shop I've been to. Most places you'll be greeted when you walk in and the owner will wait for you to bring what you want to the till. If you ask any questions they either say something vague or they will just say they don't know as they most likely know nothing about cigar culture. Also there's a good chance its way too dry and breaks apart when you try to cut it. On the other hand, Adam of Cheap Smokes & Cigars West has tested and tried every single type of cigar his shop carries at least twice, and of the hundreds upon hundreds of cigars held in either of his 2 walk-in humidors he can paint you an extremely vivid, detailed and accurate picture of what each cigars experience will be like. Everything from how it hits the palette, if there's any transition between the 1st 2nd or final third of the stogie, how the draw is, what kind of cut goes best with it, how smooth it is vs how spicy vs how creamy vs how leathery vs how dry vs how strong it is, or how bold it is, how fast it burns, how you should draw it, and what each and every one would pair well with (i.e whisky, steak, wine, chicken, fruit, scotch, coffee etc) and if its a summer stogie or one better enjoyed during the autumn, no joke. He is a true and complete cigar connoisseur, but if you are are beginner or don' know that much about cigars, then he is very nice and accommodating about it and will ask you a couple questions and then will be able to recommend to you a nice selection of 5-10 that you will 100% enjoy based off your answers. Additionally if you prefer to take your time and look for yourself he is very respectful of that and lets you take as much time as you need in the humidors and doesn't make you feel rushed in any way. All this to say this is by far the best cigar shop in the city and all credit for that goes to Adam and there's no other place that compares and you are really missing out if you go anywhere else for your cigars and/or any other tobacco/nicotine related products. Go meet Adam sometime and see for yourself. 5 Stars would give 10 if I could.

Smokers Corner is officially the second store in Calgary and is less than 3 months old. This smoke shop specializes in a fine selection of glass pipes, papers and grinders. It is like walking into a china shop dedicated to the Pacheco. K CHIDO! The pipes here range from 10 to 250 dollars and what amazing models to choose from, an assortment of colours, styles, shapes and sizes and most of them glass blown. I was also shown some pop can stashers, a Calgary based company invented pop cans that unscrew so you can hide your particulars, the beautiful thing about these are they are properly weighted to feel like a full can of pop. Hey give me half a dozen! The store is so appealing, and shiny and sparkly, if you don't smoke now you will after entering this shop.

They truly are works of art...and hey, they're useful too, brownie points!!! Whether you smoke or not, everyone can surely appreciate the greatness that is Smokers Corner. They've got the widest selection of pipes that I have ever seen and to add to that, they are some of the most beautiful pipes I have ever come across in my lifetime. The service is great, the selection is unparallelled and the pipes themselves are extraordinary. I got one word for ya, SMMMOKIN'.
