Toka Sticks Smoke Shop

Toka Sticks Smoke Shop sits at a busy Mesa intersection, and it's the kind of spot where the drive-through does a lot of the heavy lifting. Locals who don't feel like getting out of the car swing through for their cigarettes and cigars without missing a beat, and the word around Mesa is that the smokes are priced well, with more than a few folks calling them the best in town. The staff are a big part of why people keep pulling in.

Ask anyone who shops here and you'll hear names like Diquollo and Nate come up, both known for going the extra mile and treating you like a regular even on your first visit. One person drove home smiling the whole way after a stop, which tells you plenty about the kind of welcome you can get. We'll be honest, opinions on the counter service are a little split, and a few people have run into a less friendly shift, but the friendly-team stories are what stick around town.

Being open late and having that drive-through window makes it an easy stop when other places have already locked up. It's attached to a gas station, so you can fill up and grab your tobacco in one trip, and people who come through appreciate the snack selection too, including some harder-to-find favorites. A handful of folks wish the shelves ran a little deeper, but for cigarettes and cigars at a fair price, with a quick in-and-out through the drive-through, Toka Sticks has earned a solid following in Mesa, Arizona.
