Da Kine Connection

Don't let the outside fool you. Da Kine Connection in Bullhead City is one of those places that looks unassuming from the street, but step inside and locals will tell you the selection is a genuine surprise. This is one of the most well-regarded tobacco shops in town, and it has earned that reputation the honest way, one loyal customer at a time. One longtime regular has been coming here for eight years and swears he'll never shop anywhere else for his tobacco needs.

The cigar side of things is a real draw. There's a large humidor with a good, deep stock, and ask anyone hunting for a specific brand and they'll point you here first, since it's often the only place around that has it. The owner knows his stuff, and people who are newer to pipes and cigars appreciate that he takes the time to walk them through their choices instead of rushing them. That patience runs through the whole team.

We've heard about staff treating every single person who walks in with respect, no matter what. The lineup goes well beyond cigars. They carry tobacco pipes, including designs regulars say they couldn't find anywhere else, with a dozen or so choices on the shelf. There's hookah and shisha, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, and a big selection of flavored papers that folks around here have a hard time tracking down elsewhere.

Cigarettes too, and the word around Bullhead City is that the prices here beat everyone else, plus specialty brands like The Good Stuff that other shops just don't stock. If you're indecisive about picking out a new piece, ask for Dave, who's known for his patience and steering people toward quality. Fair prices, friendly people, and shelves that reliably have what you came for. A little tricky to find the first time, but as regulars will tell you, it's worth the second look.
