Aroma Smoke Shop

Open 24/7, Aroma Smoke Shop has built a strong following among folks over off Cortaro, and the word around Tucson is that this is a smoke shop worth the stop no matter the hour. The staff are the heart of the place. Ask anyone who shops here and names like John Carlos, Lana, Alex, and Giancarlo come up again and again. Regulars say Alex will happily field every question you throw at him and steer you toward the right product, and people appreciate that the crew actually knows what they are talking about instead of just ringing you up.

On the shelves you will find cigars, disposable vapes, and a solid range of glass pipes and water pipes, plus grinders. Brands like Game, Backwoods, Quick Fix, and DOZO turn up on their lineup. One local who had his vape swiped while playing ball at the courts came in and got hooked up with a fat discount, and walked out saying the selection matched exactly what he had before, with plenty more to choose from and high quality glass on hand. There is even a nicely painted wall of cartoon-themed artwork that gives the shop some real character.

Value comes up a lot in a good way, with more than one person saying they got a better deal here than anywhere else on that side of town. Worth remembering: locals say Monday is deal day. Now, opinion isn't completely unanimous, and we've heard the odd grumble about pricing on a particular item, so it never hurts to double-check a tag. What stands out, though, is how the owner handles things.

One regular had a rough go, and the owner personally acknowledged it, apologized, and made it right, which is not something every shop bothers to do. If you are looking for a smoke shop in Tucson that is open 24 hours with a knowledgeable, friendly crew, Aroma Smoke Shop earns the repeat visits it gets.
