Matthew’s Tobacco And Vape

Tucked next to the Food Lion at the corner of Sardis and Monroe, Matthew's Tobacco And Vape is the kind of small shop that regulars fold right into their routine. Locals will tell you it has become a regular stop on the way home, and once you meet the crew, it makes sense. Ask anyone who shops here and the names come up fast: Ces, Ray, Mo, and Katrina are the folks people mention, and one longtime regular put it plainly when he said Ray will always take care of you. The selection punches above the shop's size.

They keep vapes, disposable vapes, and a good spread of e-liquid and vape juice, along with cigars, glass pipes and water pipes, tobacco pipes, and the everyday smoking accessories you go through. Word around Charlotte is that if they don't have what you're after, you just ask and they'll help track it down. More than one person has come in hunting a hard-to-find vape and walked out happy. The stock stays fresh, and the prices land fair.

What keeps people coming back, though, is the feel of the place. People who shop here talk about leaving with a laugh or a smile, easy conversation across the counter, and staff who actually know what they're talking about. We've heard it called the best smoke shop in the city more than once, and with a strong reputation built over a good many years of steady word of mouth, that reputation is well earned. Folks who've recently moved to the area say the shop hasn't let them down yet.

We have heard the odd grumble about an off day at the register, but that runs against the grain of what nearly everyone experiences here. Add in the late hours, and this tobacco and vape shop in Charlotte is an easy one to lean on when you need it.
