Z's Tobacco & Vape

Z's Tobacco & Vape has built a loyal following in Monroe, and for good reason. Ask anyone who shops here regularly and you'll hear the same thing: this is their spot, the place they keep coming back to and don't bother going anywhere else. One longtime patron put it plainly, calling it "best in town," and that kind of loyalty runs deep here, with folks who've been coming for years. The selection is what draws people in.

You'll find a wide range of vapes, disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, vaporizers, and cigarettes, and the shop keeps things clean and easy to browse. Regulars appreciate the variety and the unique finds on the shelves. There's also a loyalty card worth knowing about, one that rewards you with a free disposable after seven purchases, which the folks who shop here multiple times a week clearly love. Much of the shop's reputation comes down to the people behind the counter.

Moe, who owns the place, gets a lot of praise for being genuinely helpful and taking the time to answer questions, even pointing one traveler toward a sister store closer to home. Jalen earns her own fans too, with more than one person naming her as the reason they keep coming back. It's the kind of place where the staff know their products and make you feel welcome. The word around Monroe is that Z's keeps late hours, so it's handy for an evening stop.

Fair warning that we've heard the odd grumble about the posted hours not always matching up, so if you're making a special trip it doesn't hurt to call ahead. That aside, Z's Tobacco & Vape remains one of the most well-liked smoke shops in town, and the steady stream of regulars tells you why.
