Discount Tobacco & News

Discount Tobacco & News is a small shop in Pittsburgh that packs more into its shelves than you'd expect from the size. Cigars are the draw here, and folks who stop in for them will tell you the selection is broad and the prices are fair. As one regular put it, it's a little store with quality selections, and the range of cigars gets mentioned again and again around the neighborhood.

Beyond the tobacco, this is the kind of corner spot where you can grab cigarettes, smoking accessories, and a few things you won't find just anywhere. We've heard people light up when they talk about the old-school snacks and hard-to-find drinks, like Vita Coco peach mango. They also handle lottery and pay out, which makes it a handy stop for more than one reason.

The counter service leans friendly. Ask anyone who shops here and you'll likely hear about the pleasant gentleman behind the register who takes care of people quick and easy. That said, locals are a little split on the staff, and we've heard the odd grumble about a less warm welcome depending on who's working.

Most folks come away happy with fast, convenient service and prices that don't sting the way bigger smoke shops sometimes do. For a compact tobacco shop in Pittsburgh with a solid cigar wall and a few surprises up front, Discount Tobacco & News earns its steady following.
