Anyway Smokeshop

If you shop at Anyway Smokeshop in Scottsdale, you already know the name to ask for: Jacob. Ask anyone who comes in here and Jacob's the one people keep bringing up, the guy who greets you at the door, talks you through your options, and remembers your usual. One newcomer to the area put it well, saying his welcoming energy made the place feel like home right away. That kind of service is a big part of why locals keep coming back.

The selection covers a lot of ground. You'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, hookah and shisha, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, cigarettes, and the everyday smoking accessories to go with them. What the regulars really appreciate is that if they don't have what you're after, they'll usually track it down within a few days. One traveler from Canada told us Anyway was the only shop in the area that had his Canadian cigarettes when he ran short, which tells you they stock things the other spots skip.

The word around Scottsdale is that the prices are fair and the variety runs deep. There's a helpful streak here that goes beyond the sale, too. We've heard from someone who bought a battery that wasn't charging right, brought it back, and the owner swapped it out without any hassle, then pointed him to a better device that worked perfectly. That said, we have heard the odd grumble about returns on faulty items, so it's worth checking your gear before you leave.

Even the folks with a complaint tend to note that the older gentleman behind the counter is polite, knowledgeable, and stands behind what he sells. It's the kind of place where good deals and genuine kindness sit side by side, and it happens to be handy to a nearby bar and a Dutch Bros if you're making the rounds. For a friendly, well-stocked tobacco shop in Scottsdale, Anyway Smokeshop earns the loyalty it gets.
