Seattle Cigar & Tobacco

Seattle Cigar & Tobacco has been part of the Seattle smoke shop scene since 2000, and the word around town is that Nick the owner runs a clean, well-organized shop where you actually learn something when you stop in. Regulars will tell you he never pushes product you don't need, which people around here genuinely appreciate. Nasim is another familiar face behind the counter, and folks still speak warmly of Khan, who is remembered fondly by the people who shopped here for years. The cigar side is a real strength.

Ask anyone who comes in for a good smoke and they'll point you toward the humidor stocked with Arturo Fuente, Padron, Oliva, Romeo y Julieta, and Montecristo. One shopper hunting for the right gift for a cigar-loving father-in-law left happy after the staff walked him through the options. On the vape side, the selection runs deep, with disposables like Geek Bar, Lost Mary, Flum, Elf Bar, Hyde, Breeze, and Puff Bar, plus a wall of e-liquid from Naked 100, Juice Head, Coastal Clouds, Vapetasia, Dinner Lady, Keep It 100, and more. People who shop here swear by the prices.

We've heard it called some of the best value in the city, with glass and accessories priced well below what you'll find elsewhere in Seattle. One regular who spent a year coming back put it plainly: he'll gladly walk the extra blocks for the prices and the way he's treated at the counter. The glass case draws its own following too, from quality pipes and water pipes to the kind of specialty accessories that are hard to track down locally. Locals are a little split on this one, and we've heard the odd grumble about service on a bad day, but the steady chorus points to a friendly, knowledgeable crew and fair prices.

It remains one of the more popular tobacco shops in Seattle for a reason.
