Express Tobacco & Vape

Express Tobacco & Vape has quietly become one of the highest-rated smoke shops in Greensboro, and it does not take long to see why. Ask anyone who shops here and the first thing they mention is the man behind the counter. Sammie, the owner, is the kind of guy who remembers his regulars and takes care of them. One local was struggling to find clove cigarettes on a regular basis, and Sammie offered to bring them in every week without a second thought. Two years later, that same person is still coming in weekly.

If you're a regular and want something specific, the word around Greensboro is that Sammie will simply order it for you. The selection is what keeps this place packed. Locals will tell you it beats the other shops in town in just about every category. You'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, plenty of pens, cigarettes and cigars, rolling papers, and a solid range of CBD and hemp, kratom, and incense. Hookah shoppers rave about this spot too.

One person had gone to three different shops looking for a small, good-quality hookah before finding exactly what they wanted here, and the guy working suggested a candy tip that they ended up loving. There are even some clothes and bundles on the shelves, which regulars appreciate. Prices stay competitive across the board. Customer service comes up again and again. "A1 customer service and A1 products" is how one regular summed it up, and people are met with a smile every time they walk in.

The shop keeps late hours, which is handy when you need something after most places have closed. Honest note: a few folks have run into the door being locked while the open sign is on, so it's worth a quick call ahead if you're making a special trip. Even so, this remains a genuine local favorite, and people who move across town still make the drive back.
