Haze

Haze has earned itself a strong reputation in Barberton, and once you stop in it's easy to see why. This is a tobacco shop that keeps a genuinely broad selection: vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, cigars, hookah and shisha, rolling papers, and all the smoking accessories you'd want to round things out. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you toward the disposables, with Geek Bar among the names locals reach for. The word around town is that the prices are fair and there are sales just about every day, so it pays to check what's on.

The owner is the heart of this place. We hear over and over that he's down to earth, friendly, and happy to explain anything and answer questions without rushing you, all while keeping the visit efficient. Regulars mention Reese behind the counter too, someone who knows the stock inside and out. One person who came in with their daughter said she was able to find everything she was after and left already planning her next trip.

Folks describe the whole crew as welcoming, and it's the kind of shop where a first-time walk-in ends up chatting like a regular. The atmosphere gets a lot of love. People note how clean and fresh the store always is, and there's even an arcade machine loaded with games to mess around with while you browse. Beyond the smoke shop staples, you'll find some fun extras like Nike clothing and the lottery, and the owner is known for pointing people toward other small businesses around Barberton.

Don't leave without saying hi to Pharaoh, the shop dog with the gold chain who's part of the whole experience. It's a spot within walking distance of plenty of other stores, and people have told us they'll happily make the drive in from Uniontown for it. For a smoke shop in Barberton with real selection, honest prices, and a genuinely good owner, Haze is one locals keep coming back to.
