Smokes plus

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you to Smokes plus, one of the better-regarded tobacco shops in Hope Mills. The word around town is that this place keeps its prices low. More than one regular will tell you the tobacco prices are the lowest they've found locally, and folks who buy their vape juice here say the same, calling it a cheaper option than other shops nearby. The shelves cover the basics and then some.

You'll find cigarettes, a solid spread of tobacco products, tobacco pipes, and a wide selection of vapes, disposables, and e-liquid. One regular who buys their juice here mentioned the flavor variety is deep enough that you might just walk out with the last bottle of your favorite, so it's the kind of place worth checking back with often. What really keeps people coming back is the staff. Ask for Bashar or Ali, both of whom locals speak highly of for being friendly and knowing how to get you sorted.

People appreciate that the crew works with them and looks out for what they actually need, and more than a few call it their new favorite shop. One person who came in daily with their spouse said they've had nothing but good experiences over the years. The store gets described as clean, well laid out, and nicely lit, an easy spot to browse. We've heard the occasional grumble about a slow moment at the register when things get busy, but that's the exception.

For steady prices, a big flavor selection, and staff who treat regulars right, Smokes plus has earned its reputation as one of the go-to tobacco shops in Hope Mills, North Carolina.
