Daystar II

Daystar II has been part of the Cleveland scene for a long time, and plenty of folks around here can tell you they've been coming through the doors since they were kids just browsing the gift side. It's more than a smoke shop in the usual sense. Locals will tell you it's the kind of place where you find something new every single visit, whether that's a fresh batch of vintage screen print reprints, statues, crystals, or incense tucked in alongside the tobacco goods. On the smoking side, the shelves stay well stocked.

You'll find vapes and disposable vapes, cigars, cigarettes, glass pipes and water pipes kept safe in locked cases, tobacco pipes, rolling papers, and CBD and hemp products, plus all the smaller accessories you tend to forget you need until you're standing at the counter. The variety is what people rave about most. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll mention how much ground the selection covers. The staff get a lot of love.

Regulars speak highly of owner Paul and his associates, with names like Megan and T coming up again and again for helpful, genuinely warm service. One longtime shopper said the fair prices and easy conversation are what keep bringing them back year after year. We've heard the odd grumble about a rougher interaction at the counter, and the shop does card firmly and keeps certain products age-restricted, so bring your ID if you're 21 or older. Most people who walk in, though, leave calling it the best head shop in town and telling their friends to check it out.

The shop moved to a newer location a while back, and while a few regulars were unsure about the change at first, the consensus holds steady: still the best store around. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Cleveland with real character and a deep, ever-changing selection, Daystar II earns its strong local reputation.
