Smokers ETC.

Smokers ETC. has been a fixture for cigar lovers in Stow since 1997, and the word around town is that it's one of the best-regarded smoke shops in the area. Ask anyone who spends time here and they'll point you straight to the lounge, where a solid rotation of regulars gathers to sit down, light up, and catch a game. Newcomers get the same warm welcome as the old hands. One fellow who wandered in for his very first cigar lounge visit walked out having learned a good deal about cigars and a few recommendations he actually loved.

The humidor may be medium in size, but locals will tell you the selection punches well above it. You'll find names like Arturo Fuente, Ashton, Padron, Oliva, My Father, Rocky Patel, Drew Estate, Acid, Alec Bradley, Avo, Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, Punch, Nub, and Davidoff on the shelves. If they don't have what you're after, people who shop here swear they'll track it down for you. Beyond cigars, the shop carries smoking accessories, tobacco pipes, hookah and shisha, and vapes.

What keeps folks coming back, though, is the people. Regulars greet Lou with a handshake, and Kim is known for being generous with his time and honest with his suggestions. The whole crew recognizes you, remembers what you smoke, and steers you toward something new without ever pushing you out the door. As one regular put it, this is a great spot for regular guys, and more than a few drive in from Cuyahoga Falls and beyond because they won't go anywhere else.

Fair prices, a comfortable remodeled interior, and a genuinely welcoming community make Smokers ETC. an easy recommendation. If you're looking for a cigar shop in Stow, Ohio, this one is worth the trip.
