Cigar & Etc

Cigar & Etc has quietly become one of the most liked smoke shops around Bothell, Washington, and it earns that reputation the old-fashioned way: friendly people and a genuinely good selection. Owners Sam and Stella run the place, and ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the welcome is real. Regulars give a shout out to H2 and the rest of the crew too. One loyal shopper put it plainly, saying they'd give it ten stars if they could.

That kind of warmth is what keeps people coming back. For cigar folks, this is a real find. They carry premium cigars, including Plasencia, which is not something you often see at a shop this size. Beyond the humidor, you'll find vapes and disposable vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, cigarettes, tobacco pipes, rolling papers, and a solid lineup of glass pipes and water pipes.

The word around town is that the glass selection is worth a look, and the shelves hold a little bit of everything if you're gathering supplies or picking up something specific. Part of the fun here is the extras. The shop stocks anime figures and knickknacks, along with Pokemon cards in both English and foreign printings, plus one-piece playing cards. It's the kind of place where you come in for a vape and walk out with an anime figure too, and the younger staff know their stuff and are happy to help.

Locals lean on the value, calling the prices reasonable and fair, not the kind of markup you get at other shops. We've heard the occasional grumble that tobacco pricing can run close to grocery-store rates, but that's the exception in a place people otherwise rave about. Clean store, positive vibe, and a staff that treats you well. If you're in the area, Cigar & Etc is an easy one to recommend.
