Super Smoke & Mart

Tucked away at the end of the plaza next to the pizza place, Super Smoke & Mart has built a loyal following in Tacoma, and it's easy to see why once you step inside. Locals will tell you the shop is clean, well organized, and stocked with a lot more variety than you'd expect from a spot this size. Vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, disposables, cigars, rolling papers, and a solid wall of smoking accessories all share the floor here, and the glass selection gets called out again and again for both quality and fair prices. The word around Tacoma is that this is one of the friendlier smoke shops you'll find.

People appreciate being given room to browse and look things over without feeling rushed or watched, and the folks behind the counter get high marks for actually knowing their stuff. Erica comes up by name more than once as someone who'll help you find the best bang for your buck, and the owners have a reputation as down-to-earth people who take the time to answer questions and steer you toward what fits your needs and budget. Value is a big part of the draw. Regulars come in for cheap smokes, and more than one person swears it's worth the walk for the prices on their crowns and king mountains.

Between the friendly service, the reasonably priced glass, and the deals on tobacco, it's the kind of place people happily refer their friends to. We'll be straight with you: since a change in ownership, a couple of longtime regulars have grumbled about product quality and how a return or two was handled. Those notes are the exception, though. The overall picture is a well-regarded neighborhood smoke shop in Tacoma with a strong reputation, a good selection, and staff who genuinely want to help.

Worth checking out next time you need smokes, glass, or accessories.
