I've been coming here for a long time--this was actually the first smoke shop I ever started with…read more About a month ago, I called to ask if you had the Novo 5 in stock. At the time, you didn't, so I ended up going elsewhere. Not only did the other shop have it in stock, but their prices were significantly lower and they offered more juice options at better deals. I called again today to see if you had the Novo 5 and was told you had just one left. Even though it was priced higher than other shops, I asked if you could match the lower price I'd seen elsewhere. Unfortunately, you declined. I've spent a lot of money here over the years, but the truth is there are better shops out there--ones with better prices, more inventory, and better overall value.

Coworker told me about Illusions and I'll never buy from anywhere else again. Raina is usually behind the counter so it's nice seeing a regular (beautiful!) face even tho it's behind a mask. I've been in at least 30 times and she's always super friendly; asking how your day is going, and gets you in and out as fast as the credit card machine works. A++ my go to spot

I remember enjoying going to the black many years back when I lived in Ocean Beach. Generally the…read moreemployees were cool. They weren't this time. Sadly I walked in... happy to be returning to a cool place from my past. The moment I walked in I was greeted with rudeness and dismissive treatment. I was polite and friendly but was received as though I failed some unknown test. One 'lurch-like' skinny ghoul back at the rear register was counting change dropping it into the change drawer with attitude glaring at me as though I committed a crime for coming in... and was absolutely un friendly. Picking up on this vibe... I checked my watch. 15 minutes til closing. I exited immediately. Here's a thought... do your drawer counts after closing or close the store a half hour earlier instead of blaming customers from walking in when you are posting open hours. It was a ridiculous reception. So I went back the next morning to look for a couple things and was treated rudely by another woman behind the counter. Finally a guy back by the music area was actually kind and welcoming and I gladly purchased from him. Thank you for being cool sir. Nobody else was.

Welcome traveler to Racine & Laramie Tobacconist…read more The oldest smoke shop in America's Finest City. The service is a yes. The prices are on the higher side, but you're getting a great experience from start to finish while supporting a small thriving business in Old Town San Diego. Stellar collection of cigars, pipes, lighters and various things. Not to mention old timey tunes on their speakers. Fun fixtures and displays. They have coffee, soft drinks and small lounge area for those who wish to partake in store, not to mention some match books with their logo, great souvenir. We had a couple of Nubs (short thick stick cigars), great flavors for a shorter smoke time (draw it in, don't inhale - like with any cigar). Jeffrey (aka Jeff) was a dapper class act and gentleman, the guy you'll most like encounter and the first face you'll see when you walk in as well as on their site. R & L T has some good bundle deals and sales throughout the year. We encounter lots of kind and interesting folks during our visit in. I've been curious about pipes and would definitely purchase with them. Great quality of all products, plus that top notch 1800s service in 2026, is a win cigar enthusiasts.
