Again I will recap my story from the other Up In Smoke store reviews. Yes the Up In Smoke stores…read moreare family owned and operated by my guys Mike and Murad. I used to chat with Mike at the store he managed on Bristol Ave formerly. Now today I got the story straight from the crew at both locations and my guy Johnny at the location here on Newport Blvd North and Wilson in Costa Mesa. First, make sure that you're headed north on Newport Blvd back in the direction of Santa Ana. Then just past 23rd Street you'll see the stop light at Wilson. The center is immediately on the right, be careful as the parking lot is rather tight. Also there's the 7/11 right next door. My guy Johnny was also super nice and accommodating when I asked him if I could take some pictures. One thing I noticed was that this location also has a good selection of Kratom from various brands. Really nice to add to your coffee or in a protein shake. Also this location has a cool Zippo lighter display with a decent selection of cool lighters. A slightly larger selection of Hookahs than the Newport/Balboa store. Everything else is solid and quite comparable to the Balboa store. Fantastic service whichever locations you might find yourself visiting. What I personally like is that these are family owned and operated, veteran owned, and have provided the community around Costa Mesa, Newport, Irvine, area for over a couple of decades now. You can't go wrong with stopping by any of the stores, they have exactly what you need and the best crews in store there to help you get exactly what you want. I HIGHLY recommend the Up In Smoke stores whichever location is nearest you. Enjoy!!

GABE was extremely rude. Terrible customer service!!!!!…read more My boyfriend and I arrived about 30 minutes after the tasting had started, and no one told us there was a two-hour limit. When the two hours were up, we were finishing our last glass when Gabe came over and aggressively started clearing our table and telling us to leave. When I explained that we weren't aware of the time limit, instead of simply explaining the policy, he was condescending and said, "You should know this. Everybody knows this" His attitude was completely unnecessary and incredibly disrespectful. He also appeared to have been drinking himself, which made his behavior even more uncomfortable. It's one thing to enforce a policy it's another to treat paying customers like they're being kicked out of the place. A simple heads-up when we arrived would have prevented the entire situation. My bf spends hundreds $$$ at this place. This was such a bad experience!!! I am very disappointed.

Prices are decent considering it is a cigar shop, however their selection is pretty extensive. Ranging from R&J, to David off, to Monte Cristo and Cohiba. Unfortunately the parking makes this place a hard sell on weekends, but not bad if it's a weekday and the structure is empty. I would definitely return if I had time to plan a trip here
