Green Planet Smoke Shop

Green Planet Smoke Shop sits right in downtown Tampa, and the word around the city is that it's one of the best smoke shops you'll find on this side of town. People who shop here regularly tell you the same things over and over: the prices are hard to beat, the vibe is easy and welcoming, and the guys behind the counter actually know their stuff. It's the kind of place folks will drive out of their way for, even when it's nowhere near home. The selection covers a lot of ground.

You'll find cigars, a big spread of glass pipes and water pipes, vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, rolling papers, and the everyday accessories that round out a run. One fella who stopped in after a Lightning game to grab a cigar came away raving instead about the huge selection of high-quality glassware and how friendly everyone was, even though a cigar wasn't in the cards that night. Ask anyone who shops here and a few names come up again and again. Shadi gets singled out constantly for being knowledgeable, kind, and quick to get people exactly what they came for.

Garrett is known for always having a solid recommendation ready. Paris helped one visitor track down the right flavor, and regulars give Feddy a shout too. That's the running theme with this crew: they go above and beyond, and they make you want to come back. With close to a perfect five-star reputation built over hundreds of visits, Green Planet has earned its standing as one of the highest-rated smoke shops in Tampa.

Whether you're local to downtown or just passing through the Bay Area, it's an easy stop worth making. As one regular put it, it's not even close to home and still totally worth the drive.
