Cheap Tobacco

Cheap Tobacco has been part of Ravenna, Ohio since 1994, and three decades in, it's earned a reputation as one of the most well-liked tobacco shops in town. Ask anyone who shops here and the first thing they'll bring up is the people behind the counter. Durenda's name comes up again and again, whether someone needs help picking a vape pen or wants an honest opinion before settling on a product. Regulars describe the whole crew as patient, friendly, and genuinely appreciative of everyone who walks in, which is exactly why folks keep coming back year after year.

The selection covers a lot of ground. You've got vapes and vape pens, e-liquid and vape juice, disposables, cigarettes, rolling papers, tobacco pipes, glass pipes and water pipes, plus CBD and hemp products and kratom. Cigar smokers have a real reason to stop in too. There's a small walk-in humidor with a good spread across different price ranges, and the store runs specials worth watching for, including buy-one-get-one deals on select cigars.

One thing to know: the cigars aren't always tagged, so the staff scan them to check what's part of a promotion. A minor quirk, and the crew is happy to sort it out for you. The word around Ravenna is that this is a friendly, well-stocked shop with fair prices, and locals will tell you the team almost always has whatever you came in for. There's also a drive-through, so if you're short on time you can grab your regulars without leaving the car.

As one longtime shopper put it, they've got it all, so just go. That about sums up the feeling most people have about this place.
