McCormick Vape Smoke & Cigar

Ask anyone who shops at McCormick Vape Smoke & Cigar and one name comes up again and again: Z. The gentleman behind the counter here has built a real following in Scottsdale, and it's easy to see why. People talk about the way he remembers faces, actually asks how you're doing, and takes the time to walk you through the selection until you find exactly what you came in for. One longtime regular said the hospitality and care for the customer is expert, and that after coming in for the selection, it was the friendly faces that kept him coming back.

The selection is a big part of the draw. Locals will tell you this place carries a serious variety of vapes, disposables, and e-liquid, alongside a well-stocked cigar case. One cigar guy walked out with a CLE Corojo at a fair price and said he'd absolutely be back. Whatever you're hunting for, the word around town is that Z knows his stuff and is happy to point you in the right direction.

Value is another thing folks bring up. Fair prices, good deals, and honest service come up often, and more than a few people call this the best smoke shop in the valley. The store itself stays clean and orderly, so you can find what you need quickly instead of digging around. We did hear one grumble about a pricing mix-up at the register, but that runs against the grain of what nearly everyone else says about the deals here.

For a vape shop in Scottsdale that treats you like a regular from day one, this is the kind of place people are glad to have close by. If you stop in, ask for Z.
