When we arrived we weren't allowed past the front entrance. It was all partitioned off so we couldn't browse and that is part of the immersive experience for us. The store looked like it would be nice, but we wouldn't know. There is no communication regarding this on the website OR their Facebook page (yes, I checked before we went). So after a 90 minute round trip we won't be back, Cheap Smokes and Cigars has won our business because they let us in! Too bad, the guy we were speaking to was very knowledgeable.

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!

I decided to check this shop out of curiosity. I walked in and there was two staff members having a…read morepersonal conversation and I was not greeted. Instead I walked around the shop looking for a small glass bong with a reasonable price tag but could only find small bongs with big price tags. I was a little thrown off and asked the lady behind the desk if they only had small bongs with bloated price tags or if they had anything reasonably priced. The lady immediately became irate by this comment and quickly identified he self as the owner of the shop. She said "you know you're really annoying me" so asked her why she seemed so offended? She said because you're calling my glass crap and I want you to leave my store. So I did. Pretty crap experience. The layout was cluttered and there was a big nasty old dog bed in the middle of the store in plain sight. I would not recommend this shop.

They don't carry my favorite brands though. After a while of me searching around, a woman asked me if I needed help and I told her what I was looking for. I was saying it wrong, so she just stared at me. So I spelt it and the light came on. She pointed at the fridges and said it was in there. Sure enough it was and they had two different strengths. It cost me $6 for 400 grams. They have a small selection of whole foods and bulk foods. They also carry homeopathic remedies. I didn't feel the service here was the most helpful ever and since they don't carry my favorite vitamins, there are other health food stores I would rather go to.

They have a huge selection of vitamins and minerals near the front of the store of various brands and prices. In the back are tons of prepackaged bulk items, including spices, cereals and grains, flours, as well as products for you aspiring molecular gastronomists. The store isn't a joy to shop in, as it's rather stark and cold, but it does carry many different foods and supplements that are hard to find elsewhere. I found their prices to be reasonable, so I picked up some organic fresh dried thyme and garlic sea salt for my future culinary adventures.

The employee that came out of the back area was nice, but wasn't very sure of herself. I paid in cash with a $100 bill, she stated that the system was not working but she would give it a try. Everything worked out with my transaction until it came time to give me my change. The employee counted the money behind the register to herself so I had no idea if it was the correct amount. She then handed me my change, but failed to give me a receipt. You'd think for a transaction where you had to give change for a $100 bill, you'd give a receipt to the customer! Guess not! I had to ask for the receipt and that made her even more unsure of herself it seemed. The selection is just as any other run of the mill vape store. There is nothing exclusive or special about this store. Prices are a tad cheaper, but I wouldn't call that a reason to commit all my business to them. I've tried some of their juice brands that I can't find at other stores... Man, I couldn't be more glad that the other vape stores don't stock those brands. Flex XL vapes were so awful. They had the worst consistency, it had the most chemical taste out of any vape i've ever had before. The devices leaked and coils would burn with very minimal use. I suggest trying another vape shop, Foggy Gorilla has always been reliable and consistent for me.

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.

The window display is just so enticing it makes pipes look like treasures. Seriously, for a second I considered buying a bong just to put it on display in my place. SERIOUSLY?!?!? Yes. Smokers Corner has such an impressive selection of pipes. They are not just ANY type of pipes, but as Dinah G. mentions, the majority of them are glass blown. 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'.
