Skyway Smoke Cigar & Beer

Skyway Smoke Cigar & Beer is one of those neighborhood smoke shops in Tacoma, Washington that longtime regulars keep coming back to. Some folks around here have been shopping the place for ten years and more, and they'll tell you it covers the basics well: vapes and disposable vapes, a wide selection of e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, tobacco, rolling papers and rolling tubes, tobacco pipes, and a solid lineup of glass pipes and water pipes. The word around Tacoma is that if they don't have exactly what you want, they'll often stock it for you.

The space is on the smaller side, but people who shop here appreciate how clean and well kept it is. One regular who's been coming for four years swears by the help he gets tracking down a new vape juice, and says the selection of juice, tubes, and tobacco always delivers. If you happen to break your only glass piece and need a replacement in a hurry, we've heard this is a handy spot to duck into, with bubbles and pipes on hand.

Now, locals are a little split on this one. Some remember the prices being lower years back, and a few have grumbled about the service feeling rushed or an opening time that ran late. Others describe the people behind the counter as kind, friendly, and professional.

As with any quick stop, it seems to come down to the day and who's working. Plenty of Tacoma shoppers still count it among their regular stops, and for a fast in-and-out on the everyday smoke shop staples, it does the job.
