Smokers Choice

Smokers Choice has built a loyal following in Wilkes-Barre, and the reason comes down to two things people talk about most: the smokes and the staff. Locals will tell you this is the place that stocks the cigarette brands nobody else around here seems to carry, and folks who come in regularly swear by the prices. One regular said it plainly, this is his shop for cigarettes and butane because the prices are the best in town. If you smoke something hard to find, chances are they have it.

Ask anyone who shops here and Brandie's name tends to come up. Regulars time their visits to catch her shift, and word is she often has their usual pulled and waiting before they even reach the counter. Melinda gets the same kind of praise from the incense crowd, who say it burns cleaner and smells stronger than what you find elsewhere. The team as a whole has a reputation for being friendly and quick to help, and people who come in for vapes say the staff knows the products well.

Beyond cigarettes, the shelves here cover a lot of ground. You'll find vapes, disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, CBD and hemp products, and a good spread of smoking accessories. The glass selection draws its own fans, with a nice range of pipes and water pipes to pick from, and the cigar case is small but keeps to premium brands at prices people call more than fair. Rolling papers and the everyday odds and ends round it out.

If we're being straight, not every visit lands the same, and a few people have mentioned trouble reaching the store by phone or the odd mix-up at the counter. The overall word around Wilkes-Barre stays positive, and for smokes, accessories, and a friendly face behind the register, this tobacco shop keeps regulars coming back.
