Supreme Smoke Shop

Ask anyone in Wilmington where to pick up glass or a good cigar and Supreme Smoke Shop comes up fast. This is one of the highest-rated smoke shops in the area, and the reason is simple: the people here actually take the time with you. Regulars talk about walking in, describing what they're after, and leaving with exactly the right thing, never rushed. The word around town is that the customer service is the best in Wilmington, and folks mean it.

The selection covers a lot of ground. Cigars, hookah and shisha, vapes and disposable vapes, and a wall of glass pipes and water pipes that keeps people coming back to see what new pieces have come in. One regular put it plainly: the glass selection is the best around, and every visit turns up something better. There's smoking accessories too, plus the kind of cool little gifts that make it feel like a proper head shop, the sort of spot where you wander and find something you didn't know you wanted.

One longtime maker of his own cigarettes told us this is the store that finally gave him a consistent supplier after years of striking out elsewhere. The staff is the heart of it. Locals ask for Nadine and AJ by name, and AJ especially gets credit for knowing the products inside and out and steering people toward smart picks. People who shop here describe a clean, well organized store, good music playing, and a genuinely welcoming feel where everybody, if you're a regular or new in from out of town, gets treated right.

Students who've moved near UNCW have made it their regular stop. Prices come up again and again as fair and reasonable, and now that they're open late, it's an easy one to swing by after other places have closed. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Wilmington that knows its stuff and treats you like a person, this is an easy recommendation.
