Rem's Pipe & Tobacco Shop

If you're serious about cigars anywhere in western Colorado, Rem's Pipe & Tobacco Shop is the name that comes up first. Locals will tell you it's the best cigar and pipe shop you'll find within a three to five hour drive, and the people who shop here regularly don't say that lightly. One longtime regular pointed to the Padron and Padron 1964 series selection as among the most complete he's seen anywhere, and the humidor keeps a reputation for being clean, organized, and well stocked. That kind of care shows, and it's a big part of why Rem's sits among the highest-rated smoke shops in the Grand Junction area.

The cigar lineup gets most of the attention, but there's more here than that. Ask anyone who shops the pipe side and they'll point you to the large pipe selection and the in-house pipe tobacco, which people around town genuinely rave about. You'll also find e-liquid and vape juice, rolling papers, and the smoking accessories to round out a visit. The staff knowledge runs deep too.

One person brought in a vintage lighter from the 1950s, a family heirloom he figured was a lost cause, and the guys behind the counter fixed it. That's the kind of expertise that keeps members coming back for years. Lucas owns the place, and visitors from as far as Washington state have made Rem's a regular stop when they're in town, which tells you something about the hospitality. Ask for Bill if you've got cigar questions, since folks say he knows his stuff and is happy to walk you through it.

There's a members-only smoking lounge here, said to be the only one of its kind in town, so the lounge and staying to smoke what you buy do require a membership. A few people have found the counter a touch reserved, but the overwhelming word around Grand Junction is that the team is knowledgeable, friendly, and expert, with fair prices to match. For cigars, pipes, and the people who know them, this is the spot.
