Smoker Friendly

Smoker Friendly sits in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, right in that stretch of town hemmed in by those brilliant cliff faces along the river, and it has earned a solid reputation with folks around here. Locals will tell you this is a cigarette shop, so if that's what you came for, you're in good hands. The real draw, ask anyone who shops here, is the humidor.

People who come in for cigars talk about the big walk-in selection and fair prices, and the regulars who know their tobacco keep coming back for it. Beyond that, you'll find rolling papers, tobacco pipes, a handful of glass pipes and water pipes, and the usual smoking accessories to round out a visit. It's a smaller shop than some of the other Smoker Friendly locations, so the selection leans focused rather than sprawling.

The staff gets steady praise for being friendly and easygoing, helpful when you want a hand and happy to leave you to browse when you don't. We have heard the odd grumble about Colorado's steep tobacco taxes pushing prices up, which is out of the shop's hands, and a few people have mentioned hours running a little inconsistent, so a quick call ahead never hurts if you're making a special trip. For a straightforward cigarette and cigar stop in Glenwood Springs, this one does right by its regulars, and that humidor is worth the walk in.
