Smoker's Depot of Howell

Ask anyone who shops here and the name that comes up first is Amanda. Locals swear by her, and for good reason. She is the kind of person who recommends the exact thing you didn't know you needed, walks you through filling a tank, and never leads you astray. One regular said flat out that Amanda is the only reason they shop here and that she deserves a raise. She is not the only one keeping this place running smoothly either.

Mandi, Hannah, Vince, and Ashley all get named around town for friendly, patient service, greeting folks with a smile and happily fielding a pile of questions without ever making you feel rushed. The shelves at Smoker's Depot of Howell are famously well stocked and neatly kept, and people notice. For vapers, you'll find Geekvape, Smok, Freemax, Vaporesso, Suorin, Juul, Mr. Vapor, and Tyson 2.0, plus e-liquid from Juice Head and nicotine pouches like On!, Rogue, Zyn, and Velo. Cigarette smokers can grab Crown, LD, and Montego.

The cigar wall runs deep with Arturo Fuente, Padron, Oliva, Macanudo, Montecristo, Cohiba, Ashton, Rocky Patel, Acid, Diesel, and more, alongside Swisher Sweets, Black and Mild, White Owl, and King Palm wraps. Hookah and shisha fans have Starbuzz and Fumari to work with. The glass case is stocked with Bear Quartz, Thick Ass Glass, Tsunami, and GXG Studio pieces, plus Puffco, Yocan, Ooze, Lookah, and Pulsar gear, Tsunami grinders, Triton scales, and Bad Ash dugouts. For flame, take your pick from Bic, Clipper, Zippo, Vector, and torches from Blazer, Scorch, and Special Blue, along with Whip It butane. They round it out with Smoke Odor candles and Wild Berry incense.
