City smoke and lottery

City Smoke and Lottery on Oregon Pike is a newer shop that has already earned a strong following in Lancaster, and the word around town is that it's become one of the best-regarded smoke shops in the county. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point to two things right away: the prices and the selection. One regular who had been hunting for a new favorite put it plainly, calling it the best place in the county hands down. The shelves stay full and the store stays clean, which locals notice the minute they walk in.

You'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, tobacco pipes, cigarettes, and a good range of smoking accessories. Kratom fans especially seem to love it here, with folks telling us this place keeps the widest variety around plus a steady rotation of CBD and hemp products. Add in lottery and even a few snacks when you need them, and it's easy to see why people make it their regular stop. The staff are a big part of the draw.

People who shop here swear by how friendly and knowledgeable the crew is, taking time to talk you through the vape products without rushing you. We've heard a nice story about the inventory guy noting down a product someone kept asking for and ordering it on the spot, then keeping it stocked ever since. That kind of listening is why more than one person told us this is the only place they'll go. There's a game room too, which is a fun bonus.

Now and then someone walks away unhappy, and there's been the odd grumble about a return not going their way, but that runs against the grain of what nearly everyone else experiences here. They open early and close late, so it's an easy shop to fit into your day whether you're headed to work or heading home.
