Puff Express

Puff Express has become a familiar stop for folks in Shamokin, and the word around town is that the people behind the counter are half the reason to go. The day-shift ladies are the heart of the place, quick with a laugh, a story, or a bit of easy banter to brighten your morning. Miss Kim, in particular, earned a loyal following over her years here, and plenty of regulars still ask after her. Ask anyone who shops here and they will tell you the personality of this shop is what keeps them coming back.

The store itself is a clean, well-stocked little spot with an open layout, so you can see everything without hunting around. They carry vapes and disposable vapes, cigarettes, tobacco pipes, and a range of smoking accessories. Locals appreciate that the staff know their stuff and aren't pushy, just helpful when you have a question and happy to point you to what you need. We've heard the prices on vapes are fair, which is a big part of why people who stop in once tend to make it a habit.

One thing worth knowing: parking on Race Street can get tight, especially later in the day, so mornings tend to be the easiest time to get in and out with what you came for. If the lot is full, folks around here know to park across the street at Jake Reigles contracting and storage, where they're generally good about a quick stop. With a solid reputation across the many people who have come through its doors, Puff Express is one of the better-regarded tobacco shops in Shamokin. Even visitors passing through town make a point to come back.

As one regular put it, there's no Puffs without the ladies who make it feel like home.
