Cigar King

If you love cigars, Cigar King in Kent has built a reputation worth the trip. Locals will tell you the humidor is the real draw here, kept well humidified so the cigars stay fresh and moist, with a big selection that runs from popular names to special handcrafted options. Whether you have been smoking cigars for years or you are just getting started, the people behind the counter know their stuff. Ask for a recommendation and you are in good hands, since the owner is genuinely knowledgeable and happy to point you toward something you will enjoy.

The shop covers a lot more than cigars, though. People come in for cigarettes, tobacco pipes, vapes and disposable vapes, rolling papers, and RAW cones. There is also a nice assortment of glass, and word around Kent is the pipes and water pipes are quality pieces. One regular mentioned picking up around six pieces over time and being happy with every one of them.

The family that runs the place gets a lot of love for being welcoming and professional, and they are the kind of folks who remember their regulars and keep their preferences in stock. Ask anyone who shops here and they will point to the friendly, clean setup and the staff who take time to help you find the right piece and the accessories to match. Prices sit a touch higher than a big chain, but that comes with a small private business, and most people feel the service and selection make up for it. We have heard the odd grumble about a less-than-warm moment at the counter, but that runs against the grain of what the community says about this shop.

If you are looking for a tobacco shop in Kent with real cigar knowledge and a solid glass selection, Cigar King is a good bet.
