I Smoke Cigars & Vape

The word around Scottsdale is that I Smoke Cigars & Vape has become one of the most trusted smoke shops in the area, and it earns that reputation the honest way, through the people behind the counter. Ask anyone who shops here and a name comes up fast. Sydney gets called a ray of sunshine by folks new to all this, patient with beginners who aren't sure how any of it works. Rami tracked down a favorite for one regular on Shea, Aya takes the time to answer questions and knows the stock cold, and Abby's help has people coming back specifically to work with her.

That kind of one-on-one attention is what regulars keep returning for. The selection is broad. Locals will tell you the shop carries pretty much everything, from vapes and disposable vapes to a full wall of e-liquid and vape juice. Cigar people have a humidor to browse, and there's a solid spread of tobacco pipes, glass pipes and water pipes, vaporizers, plus hookah and shisha for those who want it.

On the brand side you'll find Empire Glass, Lookah and PuffCo on hand. People who shop here point to the fair pricing and the variety, and it's the kind of place where the store stays clean, well-organized, and easy to shop. One more thing folks appreciate: they're open later than a lot of spots around town, handy when you need to run out after most places have closed. Now, to be fair, we've heard the occasional grumble.

A couple of people have bumped up against the exchange policy and walked away frustrated, and one cigar shopper wasn't thrilled with what they found in the humidor. Most folks, though, leave happy and come back, and the steady stream of regulars asking for Sydney, Aya, Rami and Abby tells the real story. If you're after a smoke shop in Scottsdale with genuinely helpful staff and deep shelves, this one's an easy recommendation.
