The Smoke Shop

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you to The Smoke Shop, one of the most well-regarded tobacco shops in Auburn Hills, Michigan. It's a smaller spot, and that's exactly why locals love it. As one regular put it, the selection here beats the big corporate stores, and you leave happy. The glass and water pipes get talked about the most, with people driving out of their way once they finally find the place, but there's a lot packed into this shop.

The variety is what keeps folks coming back. You'll find vapes, disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, a solid wall of roll-your-own tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco pipes, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers and wraps, plus all the smaller accessories you might need. If they don't have what you're after, the word around Auburn Hills is that the team will happily order it in. One person came looking for a hard-to-find replacement part, and an employee named Carleen tracked down sliders they couldn't find anywhere else, then had them in a couple of days.

The people behind the counter get plenty of credit too. Regulars mention Mary by name, and folks who stop in weekly say the guys get to know your taste and treat you like a real person. We've heard the shop is clean and well lit, prices are fair across the board, and there's a simple rewards program worth signing up for. They also run occasional events with raffle tickets and big prizes, and one shopper was surprised with a gift bag of items on a holiday visit.

Now and then someone mentions a slower moment at the register, but that's the exception. For a friendly, knowledgeable smoke shop in Auburn Hills with a genuinely deep selection, this little spot earns its loyal following.
