Located in North Tucson off of Ina, Sticky's is your one-stop-smoke-shop. From Hookah, to cigarettes, to cigars, to accessories...you name it, Sticky's has it. This place is a smoker's paradise!
Compared to other smoke shops I've encountered, Sticky's is, by far, the cleanest and most well-maintained of them all. There are several glass cases on both sides of the shop filled with all manner of smoking related items (as a disclaimer, Sticky's reminds you throughout their shop that all of their merchandise is intended for tobacco use only).
Now, having spent a little time in the Middle East, I'm a big fan of Hookah. The very first case you encounter upon entering the shop is chocked full of different Hookahs, as well as a myriad of different tobacco flavors from which you can choose http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/TVuORZodPkNBFV-_PKZXXg?select=15vL5-mIr8Uz7qDf_TSWCg#15vL5-mIr8Uz7qDf_TSWCg. The Hookahs themselves are absolutely gorgeous. No matter what your price range or taste may be, Sticky's is sure to have something for you http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/TVuORZodPkNBFV-_PKZXXg?select=15vL5-mIr8Uz7qDf_TSWCg#IYTikWOi4cwJQV-0ICe08w.
As you continue through the glass cases, there are wonderful glass pieces...for tobacco use only, I'm sure http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/TVuORZodPkNBFV-_PKZXXg?select=15vL5-mIr8Uz7qDf_TSWCg#IBFMiq4xNONrUa1ob93Wew. Again, depending on your price range and personal taste, there's certain to be something just right for you!
As I spent a little time chatting up the ladies at the counter, several "regulars" came into the shop. They immediately headed for the humidor http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/TVuORZodPkNBFV-_PKZXXg?select=15vL5-mIr8Uz7qDf_TSWCg#Sngye_owIZviarHK3I4igw. Here, as you might suspect, there are many different types of cigars. However, the clientele that came in while I was there were seeking out huge bags of tobacco so they could roll their own cigarettes. As they were paying for their merchandise, the customers gave their "frequent shopper" IDs to the staff. Apparently, with every $100 you spend here, you get some kind of discount. I, unfortunately, don't remember the specifics.
For those of you who don't want to roll your own cigarettes, they, of course, offer many of the standard brands EXCEPT for Parliaments. I repeat...THEY DO NOT SELL PARLIAMENTS AT THIS LOCATION! Having said that, the cigarettes they DO carry are pretty much par for the course as far as price goes.
Potpourri seems to be all the rage these days. Well, guess what? Sticky's has 'em http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/TVuORZodPkNBFV-_PKZXXg?select=15vL5-mIr8Uz7qDf_TSWCg#U6g3Do7kWlU_zG0mtpeC5Q! All of the various brands come in several different quantities, again appealing to any and all tastes and budgets.
Although there are several Sticky's located throughout Tucson, this is the only one I've had the privilege of frequenting. So, if you're on the North side of Tucson and you're looking for a great shop that supplies all of your tobacco needs (including lighters, pipes, fluids etc. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/TVuORZodPkNBFV-_PKZXXg?select=15vL5-mIr8Uz7qDf_TSWCg#kcW62c-TmD1ICARxIUZuiQ), then Sticky's is the place for you! read more
