Smoker's Outpost smoke shop

If you smoke cigars in Flagstaff, Smoker's Outpost is a name you'll hear again and again. The heart of this shop is its walk-in humidor, kept at proper temperature and stocked with a real range. Locals will tell you it's one of the few places in town that keeps its cigars in a genuine humidor, and the selection covers plenty of ground: a good spread of Perdomos and Patels, a fair number of Fuentes and Olivas, sampler packs, and some cheaper generic sticks for everyday smoking. One cigar man who usually only buys from lounges came away impressed, checking sticks for over-humidity and dryness and finding nothing wrong.

If you lean toward high-end rarities you may find the range a little modest, but for low and mid-priced smokes the value is hard to beat, with some brands going for less than you'd pay elsewhere. The walking distance from the college campus makes this a handy stop, and the shop packs a lot into its space. Beyond cigars, you'll find a large vape selection, e-liquid and vape juice, hookah and shisha along with plenty of hookah accessories, glass pipes and water pipes, tobacco pipes including a small briar selection, rolling papers, lighters, and a bit of Grateful Dead gear for good measure. The word around Flagstaff is that the manager runs a tight ship and takes care of people.

More than one regular has come in with a problem and left won over after he made things right, spending real time to sort it out. The team knows their stock and tends to greet you quickly and offer helpful advice without hovering. We've heard the odd grumble about a rough visit or two, but folks who came back point to the manager turning things around. It's the kind of place where knowledgeable help and a well-kept humidor keep people coming back.

Stop in and ask the crew what's fresh.
