I've had consistently great experiences at the Point Hope location of King Leaf Cigar and have…read morespent thousands of dollars there over time, including on wine and cigars. The staff at that location has always been welcoming, professional, and customer-focused, which is why yesterday's experience at the downtown Charleston location was especially disappointing. On Saturday afternoon, May 23, I visited the downtown location with my brother and my nephew. Shortly after walking in, the manager on duty informed us that my nephew's "gym shorts" violated the dress code and asked us to leave. I understand that businesses have the right to establish dress standards, especially cigar lounges that want to maintain a certain atmosphere. That said, the way the situation was handled came across as rude and unnecessarily dismissive. There was no effort to handle the conversation with professionalism or hospitality, especially considering we had just walked in and intended to spend time and money there. What surprised me most was how little value seemed to be placed on customer relationships. After the amount of business and loyalty I've shown to the brand over time, the interaction left me genuinely questioning whether I'll return at all. The contrast between the welcoming atmosphere at Point Hope and the experience downtown was significant and disappointing.

4/5 Charlestown…read moreTobacco & Wine is a pretty cool spot. Tons of cigars, really good atmosphere, and a surprising amount of other stuff -- paintings, little knickknacks, even safety razors. It's one of those places where you walk in and just kind of want to look around for a bit. They do have pipes, but they're all jammed together in a cabinet, so it's tough to actually see what's there. Definitely could organize or display those better. If you're a hardcore pipe person, that part's a little disappointing. But the vibe overall is great. When I pulled up, there were people outside sipping wine and smoking cigars, and you can hang out inside too. Very chill place to relax with a drink and a cigar. Cool shop, worth checking out -- just not a destination for pipe enthusiasts.

Wooden molds on the bench, tobacco in the press, cigars being shaped the old-school way while you stand there. They hand-roll on site. You can see it. Scott Aron runs it, and they sell what they make. Connecticut Ecuador, maduros, holiday torpedoes with the two-tone wrapper -- house product, not a wall of national brands. Quality is high and the prices are not inflated. You're paying for a handmade cigar, not a downtown markup. If you want velvet chairs and a whiskey list, go somewhere else. If you want a cool, slightly messy shop that still does the craft the right way without overcharging, this is it. The kind of place you want to give your business to.

I entered the store and asked for a torch for a dab rig; the Vector VMotion was presented as one of…read morethe options. I chose it based on its small form factor. The VMotion is clearly not a torch designed to support a 30 second burn to heat a quartz nail; it's a lighter designed to quickly ignite loose leaf products. I did two sessions with my rig yesterday and, after a balky start, the unit I purchased functioned but burned through its entire fuel reservoir in the 60 seconds I had it running. I tried the unit again tonight and now it won't even spark into a consistent flame. It's pretty much dead; I've literally had it running for less than 5 total minutes of continuous ignition. I won't hold the retailer accountable for a product it didn't manufacture. I will, however, hold Purple Haze up as not reputable for its staff failing to advise me against a purchase.

The employees that work for Purple Haze at almost all of there storms are rude and un-knowledgeable when it comes to pips and water pieces. The prices are crazy expensive you can find the same thing online for half what they want. Most of the time when you come in to there shop in a good mood you leave in a bad one. If you want to take a picture of something you might buy they yell and tell you no picture allowed. I don't know why it's not like we're in the tittie bar, there not selling drugs there selling glass and plastics over priced garbage. Check out The Zen Place Y'all On Rivers Ave.
