While I was on vacation, we were on the way to eat tacos at the end of the block when we passed…read morethis smoke shop. From the outside it looked clean inside with a large selection. I could see a line at the taco place so I thought I would drop in to see how overpriced a can of Zyn is in California. The gentleman behind the counter came up to greet me, asking what I was looking for and took me over to the nicotine pouches selection. He told me what it cost out the door then started on the other options that were available. I had seen most of them, but then he asked what I liked about Zyn and some additional fact finding questions, such as pouch size and texture. I hadn't ever had someone ask that question so the man was thoroughly versed in his product offerings and their details. After talking about pouch size and feel, he was able to find a product that I hadn't heard of before that doubled the product count at a similar pouch size and was the same price as a can of Zyn. One of the better interactions I have had in a head shop/smoke shop in 30 years. Absolutely recommend stopping in and checking out the selections and detailing your requirements, it was quite education and helped me make an informed decision!

I was visiting Santa Barbara for a few days and did some wine tasting with the honey. After a few…read moretastings, I thought a good cigar would be good right about now. Looked it up and I found La Aroma de Havana. Walked in and I was immediately welcomed by three gentleman. I asked to check out the walk in humidor and I felt free to take my time picking what I want. I know my cigars but it's been a while since I have indulged. The gentleman asked if I needed a cut and he took care of it and also gave me some wood matches. My experience was old school respect and the essence of gentleman. Next time I head that way, I will definitely sit down and enjoy a good stick. Blessings

We need to support the brick n mortar cigar shops! This shop has an amazing selection, I'm a big Fuente, LFD and Diamond Crown guy and they had a great selection of each. I always seem to get lucky too when I visit lounges on trips and today was no exception. I was able to snag a couple La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull, which is such a rare cigar! This wonderful shop had a full box, I was glad I was able to find some because I've never had one. Time to finally see what all the hype is about. I forgot the name of the gentleman who had helped me but he was an absolute gentleman and was helpful as soon as I entered the shop. Next time I am in Santa Barbara I will definitely visit Cigar Empire!

I would not take my business here if your trying to save money. Economy is not great right now and…read morebusinesses like this one are taking advantage of that. I went to get a pod for my sons vape, not only did he sell me the wrong one but, was 1.99 more than where I normally get his. I also get Krave Green Maeng Da usually 1000 capsules, they sell it for 130.00 at illiusions I get it for 90.00 a short distance away. This place is a major price gauge! I would not recommend it to anyone. Not only did the guy make a mistake I handed him my sons vape, he gave me the wrong size and charged me 5.00 for one. I I had to pay for my gas to come back which we all know is expensive. I also get my son Zyn 3 mg smooth to help him to quit smoking. We pay 5.39 for them. At illusions it is double that. Save your money check around cause this place over charges for sure! I give them a zero if I could. Sure they have friends posting reviews with 5 stars. Check around people, i am telling the truth. Thats the only thing I do. Call other places and get their prices. You will not be sorry. 90.00 compared to their 130.00 for the Krave Green Meang Da can buy you 40.00 in gas or food. My son also order from Indonesia which he gets better prices eliminating the middle man. My son takes it for severe pain. Drs just abruptly cut him off from pain medicine which could have killed him, this has helped him so much, Works better than any pain meds for him. Kratom tea is the best.
