Sky High Smoke Shop

Sky High Smoke Shop has been part of the Mesa scene for years, and the word around town is that it earns the loyalty. Locals will tell you this is one of the better-regarded tobacco shops in the valley, the kind of place people keep coming back to even after moving across town. Some folks have been walking through this door for close to a decade. The shelves cover a lot of ground. You'll find vapes and disposables, a solid range of e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, tobacco pipes, rolling papers, and the smoking accessories to round it all out.

Regulars come in for king size cones by the box and count on the prices staying fair. There's also a nice selection of incense, which more than one person has singled out as a reason to stop in. Ask anyone who shops here and the staff usually come up first. Ash gets named again and again for being patient and genuinely knowledgeable, the type who will sit with you and walk through the different vape brands until you land on the right one. Keith, Madie, and Jeff all get their share of praise too.

One regular said Jeff never disappoints and deserves employee of the year, which tells you the kind of welcome people get. If you're keeping late hours, this one works in your favor. The Mesa shop stays open until midnight every day, so it's easy to swing by after work or later in the evening. There are sister locations in Tempe and Scottsdale as well, which gives you more chances to stop in around the valley. It's fair to say the crew can vary day to day, and a couple of folks have run into a rougher visit or bumped up against the return policy on a vape or a bag of tobacco.

That said, the steady drumbeat around Mesa is warm and returning-customer loyal. For a smoke shop in Mesa with a deep selection and staff who take the time, Sky High has earned its regulars.
