Smoker Friendly

Smoker Friendly has earned a strong reputation around Austintown, and it comes down to two things people mention again and again: the prices and the people. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you it's the most affordable spot around for cigarettes, with a selection that beats the other shops in town. One regular who'd hit four different cigarette shops over two days said this one had the best prices and selection by far. The shop carries cigarettes, a good range of cigars, tobacco pipes, and all the smoking accessories you'd expect.

There's a walk-in humidor for the cigar side, and folks like being able to browse. If you're watching what you spend, locals point to the deluxe filtered cigars, sold in ten-packs and available in menthol, full flavor, and a few others. The staff keep an eye on deals and will let you know what's going on when you come in. The women behind the counter are what really make this place.

We hear they're friendly and a little goofy, knowledgeable about what they sell, and quick to help you find what you need or advise you on a purchase. Regulars describe a "part of the family" vibe, right down to the good-natured ribbing you'll get for making them unlock the glass case. The shop stays clean and neat, which people appreciate, and the pace is quick if you just need to get in and out. It's not perfect every single time.

We've heard the odd grumble about humidor moisture running high on a cigar or an order not landing right, but those are the exceptions in an otherwise steady, well-liked shop. For a tobacco shop in Austintown with fair prices and a welcoming crew, Smoker Friendly is a solid local pick.
