Their prices are awesome. The quality of everything is amazing. Their variety in everything is endless. But the customer service of the shop owner is beyond priceless. And he makes sure that the impeccable customer service is absorbed and trickles down to every single employee he hires. The employees have ALWAYS impressed me at this shop making it a breath of fresh air coming here no matter who is behind the counter. And if by some crazy reason they dont have whatever you are looking for, they will go out of their way to get whatever you want in stock very soon. Star Zone gets my vote UNDOUBTEDLY for the "World's Best Smoke Shop Ever In All The Land"!!!!! Love you guys!!!!

Both times I've been there the workers behind the desk were super helpful, and pleasant and were extremely grateful to have local support. I live in Scotts Valley and I don't receive that sort of warm welcome at my local shop, so it's worth the drive to Santa Cruz to be appreciated and feel good about my purchase.

Honestly, I've never in my life encountered such an attitude toward customers! They don't just try to push products on you; they take the time to help you make the right selection and provide detailed information. A good selection. The salesperson explains everything about the assortment perfectly. An excellent shop with a proper humidor room! The cigars are always in perfect condition--never dried out. There is a wide selection of both Cuban and non-Cuban brands, offering everything from classics to interesting new releases. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about the inventory. I definitely recommend it!

Let's just say thank god I found this place through others positive online reviews. Place was amazing with the viewing window of their garden and the products they carried had something for everyone. I'm old so I really appreciated the "St. Ide's" THC drinks. Back in the day when I could pound some 40's that was my malt liquor of choice. Now I'm 48 and malt liquor gives me the runs, soooooo I was stoked when I saw St. Ides in a form that I can easily drink and digest. : ) It was ON POINT! Though I do not recommend sipping on it before you go on the "Giant Dipper" on the Santa Cruz boardwalk, but that's another story. The staff was very nice and knowledgable. I didn't feel any pressure due to them being 100% transparent about their many different brands. I really appreciate Alec because he took time with me in listening to what I was exactly looking for. I also have to give a shout out to my boy MadZen. If he was on the phone even after I asked him if he was using his "hip hop" name, he wasn't, that's his name. All in all, cool vibe, great layout, great staff, I give this place 5/5 every day all day!

It had only been two days since the purchase. The owner said to bring it down to his store and he'd look at it. I said it was used for 2 days. I said I couldn't clean it properly. He said he couldnt resell it. Did I hear him right? He knew it was used and encouraged me to bring it down. It sounded like he was intending to help me. I took my little pipe to the store, and walked in and did the formal greeting. I explained that I was the one who called. He acknowledged our conversation. I showed him the pipe where it was made improperly, he said it was up to me to pick the right one. WTH? Are you kidding me? Why have me come in with a badly manufactured product, slightly used, if you had no intentions of helping me. His business didn't catch the flaw and now it's on me to take the "hit". I asked him, point blank, how are you going to resolve this? He said it's your fault. We're talking 20 bucks. He sells 2 for 30 bucks. If you do the math.....what did he have to lose, except my loyalty and being a regular customer. For less than $10 he has no care in the world. I did mention that he is not supposed to resell pipes brought back, since we have covid. He shut up real quick. Buyers Beware. This guy has zero customer service. I've always known, a company is only as good as their customer service. If they have no support for a customer, then it's got to be money first. I do not recommend this business on many levels. He now has gone in the opposite direction since I last left a review for this store. I would drive many more miles to find a reputable company that has customer service and that will assist a customer when a problem should arise. Convenience is no longer a condition of patronizing this discount store. So, save your gas and find another source for your smoking needs. I threw a $20.00 lesson in the garbage. Damn, the turnout could've been so much better. I need a smoke!

I called right after and was told that once it leaves the store, it's the customer's fault--which doesn't make sense for a product that was clearly faulty from the start.

Customers shouldn't be expected to "test" a brand-new product just to avoid being stuck with something defective. Disappointed in both the product quality and the customer service. I wouldn't recommend buying disposables here.
