Crazy Smokes

The word around Boone is that Crazy Smokes has become one of the more reliable spots in town for tobacco and vape products alike. It's a friendly little smoke shop where the staff take time to help you find what you came in for, and locals will tell you the visits are usually quick and pleasant. If you shop here often enough, the folks behind the counter start to feel familiar. Muhammad, the store manager (some folks just call him Moe or Mo), gets brought up again and again by people who shop here.

Ask anyone who comes in regularly and they'll point to him: hardworking, welcoming, and genuinely knowledgeable about what's on the shelves. One regular who happens to manage a business himself said Muhammad is the kind of employee who deserves his own store. Zach is another name you'll hear behind the counter, and people have watched him keep his cool and professionalism even on a tough day. The owner spends real time in the shop too, and it shows in how the place is run.

On the product side, you'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, cigarettes, glass pipes and water pipes, and a range of smoking accessories. People who shop here swear by the prices, with more than one local saying Crazy Smokes beats other shops around town. If you're after specific vape coils or specialty items, it doesn't hurt to call ahead, since a few folks have had trouble tracking down particular brands. On glassware, we've heard that a little friendly haggling can go a long way.

The shop keeps late hours, which makes it an easy stop when you're passing through Boone in the evening. As one longtime patron put it, this should be your first stop when you're looking for a smoke shop in town.
