Mint Vape, Cigar & Tobacco CO

If you're after a cigar lounge with real character in York, Mint Vape, Cigar & Tobacco CO is one people talk up around town. The lounge sits upstairs, perched at the top of the hill by the Inn at York, and locals will tell you it's a comfortable spot to settle in for an afternoon smoke. Picture leather seating with ashtrays at either side, plenty of chairs, a large TV, big windows for the view, and even heaters when the weather turns. There are a couple of PA skill machines and lottery going too, and downstairs you can grab drinks and snacks to bring up.

The humidor is the heart of it. The word around York is that the cigar selection may be smaller than some, but it's a good one, well stocked with legacy brands and kept at proper humidity. One regular who happens to be a certified tobacconist tested a few of his own picks and came away impressed, which says something. Beyond cigars, they carry vapes and the latest devices, hookah and shisha, rolling papers, CBD and hemp products, cigarettes, and a wide range of smoking accessories, so most folks find exactly what they came in for.

Ask anyone who shops here and the staff come up again and again. People appreciate that the fellow behind the counter takes time to get to know regulars, answers questions patiently, and knows the products well. Prices land fair to low on most things, and a few people even walk over from the hotel next door rather than drive anywhere else. We'll be honest, there's the occasional grumble about lounge hours closing earlier than expected, so it's worth confirming the schedule before you make a special trip.

That aside, this is a genuine, welcoming smoke shop in York that regulars are glad to have close by.
