Up High Smoke Shop

Up High Smoke Shop has built a genuine following in Scottsdale, and it shows the moment you walk in. Locals will tell you this is one of the best-regarded smoke shops around, and the reputation is earned through the people behind the counter as much as the shelves. Sam, the owner, gets the kind of praise most shop owners only dream about. Regulars say he knows his products cold, takes real care of the folks who come in, and always seems up for a good conversation.

Ask around and you'll hear the same about the crew, with names like Baeley and Aaron coming up again and again as the guys people specifically come back to see. The selection covers a lot of ground. You'll find vapes and disposables, including Geek Bar, plus e-liquid and vape juice, cigarettes, cigars, hookah and shisha, and a solid wall of glass pipes and water pipes. Puffco gear is on hand, along with rolling papers and a good range of smoking accessories.

People who shop here mention the store is clean, well-organized, and easy to browse, and the team is quick with a recommendation once they know what you're after. Some folks even stock up on snacks and drinks while they're in. The word around Scottsdale is that the prices are fair and there are often deals to be had. It's the kind of place where you get treated well, and being open late makes it an easy stop when other shops have already closed.

The spot can be a little tricky to find if you don't know the area, but as one regular put it, if you know, you know. We've heard the odd grumble about consistency depending on who's working, but the overwhelming sense here is a friendly, welcoming shop that keeps people coming back. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Scottsdale with a knowledgeable crew and a wide selection, this one earns its regulars.
