Cigarette Time

Cigarette Time is the kind of Denver smoke shop that surprises people the moment they walk in. The name suggests one thing, but locals will tell you there's a lot more going on inside. Yes, you'll find cigarettes, vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, tobacco pipes, rolling papers, glass pipes and water pipes, and all the smoking accessories you'd expect. Then there's everything else: novelty items, knives, body jewelry, sunglasses, art pieces, and Marilyn Monroe memorabilia of every kind. More than one person has wandered in expecting a quick cigarette run and walked out with something cool for the wall.

One thing worth calling out is the roll-your-own tobacco, which is getting harder to track down around town. Regulars who roll their own are genuinely glad this place carries it. The glass smokeware and the steady rotation of eclectic finds keep people coming back too. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll mention stumbling on something they didn't know they needed. This is a real mom and pop operation, and the owners have earned a warm reputation in the neighborhood.

Both are known for being friendly every single time, and the word around Denver is they'll look out for folks who come up short. If you want someone who can point you to exactly what you're after, ask for G. People who shop here swear by him for matching you with the right thing. We've heard the staff is helpful and easy to deal with across the board. Honest note: a few locals feel the cigarette prices run a touch higher than other spots in the area.

The discounts, the friendly service, and the sheer variety of stuff you won't find elsewhere keep this little shop a real local favorite. If you've driven past and never thought to stop, give it a chance. Plenty of people are glad they finally did.
