Charlie's Tobacco Outlet

For folks around High Point who need their smokes and a lotto ticket in one stop, Charlie's Tobacco Outlet has been the spot for years. People talk about it like a second home, the kind of place where the staff feel like family and remember what you buy. More than one longtime regular has told us that even after moving away, they still swing back in whenever they're in town. The cigar selection is what really gets people talking.

One regular called it hands down the best cigar shop in High Point, maybe in the whole High Point Greensboro area, with close to a hundred different single sticks on hand. The prices on those singles keep folks loyal, often running a dollar or two under what you'd find elsewhere. It's not a fancy lounge setting, and nobody's pretending it is, but the value speaks for itself. Beyond the cigars, you'll find cigarettes, vapes, tobacco pipes, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, and a good spread of smoking accessories.

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the shelves usually have what you came for. If they don't stock something you like, the word around town is they'll track it down and keep it in for you, which is the kind of thing that turns a first visit into years of coming back. The man who works the counter gets steady praise for being friendly and genuinely helpful. We'll be honest: opinion on the service is a little split, and a few people have run into an attitude they didn't care for.

Most, though, keep calling this their main stop for a reason. As one regular put it, it's the best place in High Point to get your smokes. If you're after a well-stocked tobacco shop in High Point with real cigar knowledge and fair prices, Charlie's earns its reputation.
