Southern Smoke Supply

Southern Smoke Supply has earned a real following in Panama City, and it doesn't take long to see why. Ask anyone who shops here and you'll hear the same thing first: the staff. The guys working the counter, Juan among them, know their stuff and take the time to walk you through it. We've heard stories of them putting two different pieces together to make something work for a first-timer, and treating folks so well they walk out feeling like they made a few new friends. It's the kind of place where people come to hang out as much as to shop.

The selection is a big part of the draw. Locals will tell you this is one of the most diverse smoke shops around, carrying vapes, vaporizers, e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, tobacco pipes, rolling papers, cigarettes, and just about every smoking accessory you can name. The glass gets special mention for being genuinely artistic, with pieces for every type of shopper. On top of all that, they stock drinks, brews, and beer by the case or the single, so it's easy to grab everything in one stop. One regular called it hands down the best smoke shop on the whole coast.

People also enjoy the atmosphere. There are deals to be found, and the shop has run fun promotions like raffles that regulars still talk about. Now, we'll be straight with you: opinion on pricing is a little split. Some swear they came out without a burnt hole in their pocket, while a few have grumbled that certain items run higher than elsewhere on the beach. If you're hunting specifically for cartons of cigarettes, it's worth calling ahead.

Even so, the warmth and the sheer range keep folks coming back. Stop by, make friends, and see what everyone in Panama City is talking about.
