cigarettes and more

Cigarettes and More has been a Charlotte fixture for years, and the loyalty runs deep here. Some folks will tell you they've been shopping this spot for six, nine years running, and one regular even makes the trip from near Stanley just to keep coming back. The owners, a husband and wife who run the place, treat their regulars like family. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll mention how the couple remembers your usual order, sometimes even your spouse's, before you've said a word.

The selection is what keeps people talking. This is a full tobacco shop with cigarettes, pipe tobacco and tobacco pipes, plus a wide vape section stocked with disposables, e-liquid and vape juice. They carry glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, CBD and hemp products, and all the smoking accessories you'd expect. If you smoke something hard to find, they tend to have it, and if they don't, word is they'll get it in fast.

One longtime customer swears by them for a brand almost nobody else stocks. Beyond the smoke shop side, you'll find lottery and keno, plus everyday convenience items like drinks, snacks, beer and wine, so it's the kind of place where you can play a few scratch-offs while you shop. The word around Charlotte is that prices here are fair and competitive, and the store stays clean, organized and well managed. With well over four and a half stars across a strong count of opinions, this is a genuine local favorite.

We've heard the occasional grumble about the doors opening a little late on the odd morning, but that's the exception. For most who walk in, the warm welcome and deep shelves are exactly why they keep coming back.
