5 Star Tobacco #2

At 5 Star Tobacco #2 in Wingate, the welcome is the first thing people mention. Ask anyone who shops here and you'll hear about Chbih, who greets folks with a smile and is happy to stand and chat. One regular put it simply: she loves going in just to see that smile and have a conversation. Couples get the same treatment, greeted at the door and treated, as one local said, like family should be treated.

There's a good sense of humor behind the counter too. The shelves cover the basics and then some. Locals come in for vapes, and the team will help you sort out a replacement if yours quits on you. There's a big selection of cigars, plus hemp wraps and rolling papers to round things out.

People who shop here tell us the stock stays well kept and the place is clean, and the word around Wingate is that if you know what you want, they've usually got it. We'll be straight with you: opinion here isn't entirely unanimous. A couple of folks have grumbled about prices, and one person showed up near the end of the night and found the door already locked. Small notes against an otherwise strong reputation, and most people leave with a good experience and a reason to come back.

For a friendly tobacco shop in Wingate with cigars, wraps, papers and vapes under one roof, 5 Star Tobacco #2 has built a loyal following on service alone.
