J Tobacco

J Tobacco sits at a spot locals swear is one of the easiest tobacco stores to reach in all of Denver, centrally located near Pecos Street and I-70, just north of downtown and a short hop off the Pecos Street exit. People who shop here keep coming back for a well-stocked little neighborhood shop that carries vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco pipes, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, and the everyday smoking accessories you count on. Regulars mention the selection covers the staples too, from Backwoods to Black and Milds, so you can usually find what you came in for.

The word around the neighborhood is that the tobacco here stays fresh and the prices sit fair. "Prices are very affordable," one regular told us, and more than a few folks say the value is a big reason they keep this on their rotation. Al, the owner, gets plenty of warm words, described by people who shop here as a genuinely great guy, and the small neighborhood smoke shop feel is exactly what some folks are after.

One person put it simply: they feel welcomed every time they walk in. We'll be straight with you: locals are a little split on this one. While many rave about the friendly service and good prices, we've heard the odd grumble about a cold reception and hours that don't always match what's posted.

The shop is generally open Monday through Saturday from 8am to 8pm and Sunday until 6pm, so it's worth timing your visit to be safe. On the whole, J Tobacco earns solid standing as a dependable, centrally located tobacco shop in Denver, the kind of spot where the regulars have shopped the area for years and keep coming back.
