Richland Cigar & Vape

Richland Cigar & Vape has quickly become one of the highest-rated smoke shops around the Tri-Cities, and spend five minutes talking to anyone who shops here and you'll understand why. The word around Richland is that the crew here genuinely knows their stuff. Ask for Lauren if she's on shift. She's been behind the counter a while, and locals credit her with steering them toward new favorite brands and answering every question without a hint of the attitude you sometimes get elsewhere. As one regular put it, other places act like your questions are annoying, but the folks here actually enjoy helping you find what you're after.

The selection covers a lot of ground. On the vape side you'll find disposables and plenty of e-liquid, with Lost Mary among the names on the shelves. Cigar fans can dig into Backwoods, and the accessory wall carries RAW rolling papers, Looseleaf, ORO, PEAK, and OPMS. Glass pipes and water pipes are a real strength too. One customer who admits to being clumsy swears his glass survived a dozen-plus drops before finally giving out, which tells you something about the quality they stock.

Butane, dab rigs, and all the everyday utensils are here as well. Value is a big part of the appeal. People here don't worry about spending their whole paycheck, and the shop is known to price match if you find something cheaper somewhere else. Spend a little and you might get to spin a wheel for a deal, and we've heard the team hands out samples respectfully too. If they don't have what you need, regulars say they'll get it stocked.

It's the kind of place where the owner is described as a sweetheart and where folks say once they found it, they stopped shopping anywhere else. For a newer shop in Richland, Washington, this one is absolutely earning its reputation.
