Ace Tobacco Town

Ace Tobacco Town has built a real name for itself in Melrose Park, and people who shop here will tell you why. The cigar selection is what turns heads first. One fellow who stopped in on a random Tuesday afternoon said his jaw dropped at the size of the walk-in inventory, and folks who know their sticks call this the best cigar shop in town. Ask for Christine or Tim if you want help finding something specific.

Tim once spent time walking a visitor from North Carolina through recommendations, and word around Philly is that kind of attention is standard here, not the exception. This is a smaller shop, but it packs a lot in. Beyond cigars you'll find cigarettes, vapes with a solid wall of e-liquid and vape juice, mods, tanks, rolling papers, and the usual smoking accessories. Regulars also appreciate that they stock plenty of soda and snacks alongside everything else.

Because they sit outside the city limits, the cigarette prices come without Philly's added tax, which is a big draw for people driving over. The owners are the heart of this place. We've heard story after story about how they go out of their way to save their patrons money, and one regular even mentioned they offered to help change a flat tire out in the lot. You get greeted with a friendly smile every time, and the whole team is helpful if you're a longtime cigar hound or just figuring out what you want.

A well-regarded spot with a strong following, Ace Tobacco Town is one of the more popular smoke shops around Melrose Park. Locals are already excited about the new spot with a patio that's in the works. If you're hunting for a cigar shop or vape shop near Philadelphia, this one earns the loyalty it gets.
