Tobacco & Vape Station

Ask anyone who shops here and the first name that comes up is Omar, the man who runs Tobacco & Vape Station in Washington. Locals talk about how easy he is to deal with, the kind of guy who has your cigarettes ready and waiting by the time you cross from the door to the register. One regular said her husband, who by her own account doesn't warm up to anybody, hit it off with Omar on day one. That says a lot about the atmosphere here.

The shelves stay stocked, and the selection covers most of what you'd walk in for: vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, hookah and shisha, glass pipes and water pipes, tobacco pipes, rolling papers, cigarettes, CBD and hemp products, and the usual smoking accessories. If they don't have something, we hear the team will tell you straight up to let them know and they'll try to order it in. Folks who roll their own swear by the value here too, pointing to the 4Aces tubes and bags of tobacco that tend to run cheaper than anywhere else in town. Value is a big part of the draw.

People who shop here regularly say they're confident they're paying the least, and the deals and discounts get mentioned often. The store stays clean and well organized, and the fact that it's open late makes it an easy stop for people in Beaufort County who don't want to rush. Now and then you'll hear a grumble, usually about pricing not lining up trip to trip, so it's fair to keep an eye on your total. The overall word around Washington is warm: friendly service, a solid selection, and a well-regarded little shop that keeps its regulars coming back.

As one person put it, "Nice place to get what you need." For a smoke shop in Washington, NC, it earns its steady following.
