I am an occasional smoker of Djarum Black cigars, and until I discovered Smokin' Stogies a few months ago, I had to go back to NY every once in awhile to purchase them. A Google search brought me to this place only three short blocks from me in Center City and I couldn't be happier. The store is small on space, but huge in selection, with plenty of choices for any smoker to indulge in. The price for my cigars is a great value at just $9 a pack. So far, so good, right? Honestly though, the very thing that inspired me to review this place is not the great location, selection, or prices. In all of the times I've been in this store, the service has always been exceptional. From what I know, there are three guys who work at Smokin' Stogies, all very different from one another, but all equally friendly and helpful. I almost always look forward to going there, just to enjoy the pleasant conversations I have with any of the three of them. I'm always greeted warmly, and I always feel valued when I go in there. If only every store had such awesome service, this world would be a much better place! I don't know your names, but as you always say upon my exit, 'Appreciate you!" read more

Rejected my valid ID and then refused to answer why. Perhaps if he read my ID wrong we could have figured it out, instead the attendant told me he wasn't going to explain why "because I think you already know why." Yeah, thanks pal. Left and grabbed what I wanted across the block with zero hassle at all. Will not be returning again. read more

I drove there during hours that the store is supposed to be open. It was a waste of half hour of my time.

I've struggled to find a place that sells Juul pods in Philly that aren't close to $30. This place has four packs of both flavors in both strengths for $23, which is just about the cheapest you will find outside of going to New Jersey. I don't smoke but this place also has a huge selection of pipes etc. it's right in Center City so you can't beat the convenience. The guy who works here is super friendly fly as well! read more

Smoke shop in Center City. The choices here are great. They have everything you could want and they assist with a smile. Everyone I've encountered there has been sweet, even going as far as giving a much needed hug when my teenager gave me the blues. It was right on time and appreciated! read more

I've been coming to the store for a little over a year & this is literally the only smoke shop I'll come to when I'm in center city. The owner is very cool & have great customer service, a selection of different items and the value is amazing . I would recommend you all to stop by. read more

John V showed me great aloha and helped me find exactly what I needed after 15 hours flyin from hi to Philly. Good vibes and nice conversation. Mahalo John. Go see him if you're in Philly! He has everything you need. read more

I love this place! I LOve their Hemp Lively brand of D8 gummies!!! A must try! Their customer service is great and they have a very knowledgeable team, any time I call or stop in. I would give 11 stars if I could! read more

I have come here twice for a cigar. The first time was to celebrate my friend finishing his MCATs. The second time was because a friend was visiting. I'm not a big cigar smoker but the guys here gave great recommendations. We walked to Rittenhouse square and smoked the stogies in the park at night. It was so beautiful. Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. They can also give you matches for free when you make your purchase. read more

Employee very knowledgeable of the products sold in the store. Helpful staff. The place is as tiny as a jail cell so wear your mask! Many products to choose from! read more

This is my new place! I recently moved to downtown Philly, saw this place was open and called ahead. The woman who was working was super helpful, even though she told me she was new! As a former District Manager, it made me so happy to see "small" shops like this really stand out in this town. Definitely got themselves a new regular! And you cannot beat the price for their glass pieces at the quality they stand at! read more

I have been visiting Smokin Stogies for any of my smoking needs for several years. They always not only have what I need, but the great staff always suggests other products they carry that I may like. John V. is especially wonderful, and is super knowledgeable about every single item in the store! There isn't a question we ask that he doesn't know the answer to. He gives extraordinary client service on every encounter. I've gone in there ready to spend $20, and they'll suggest I try a small sample to see if I like it. (If available) I like that approach because it ultimately turns me on to a variety of products and I end up returning again and again because they're honest and really go out of their way to get you the best product for a fair price. I also like how John V. has his finger on the pulse of the industry. The ever changing products, laws, and all things smoking, from cigars, to vapes, and many other assorted smoking and tobacco tools. If they don't have what you want, they can get it for you. Smoking Stogies has become the single go to shop for all of my smoking needs. It's a small space but conveniently located right in the heart of Rittenhouse. I wouldn't go anywhere else, because they have everything I want, every time! read more

Wow! Super kind owner! The service was amazing and the prices you can't beat! And let me tell you again about the owner ! So kind!!!! If I'm ever in the area or not. This is the place. JON V. Rocks ! read more

I love this smoke shop. Definitely one of my favorite in the city. They have everything I need. Great variety.

What a great place. The stores not that big, but they have everything that you can imagine. The workers are very knowledgeable,and friendly. I will be back there again,and highly recommend it. read more

Dude was dope! Saved me $25. Knows his stuff. Fun guy to talk to. Check the place out

Quick and easy stop for all your basic tobacco/vape needs. Make sure you know what you want when you go in since it's a little overwhelming unless you have a little time to spend there. It's a small, literal hole in the wall, so you maybe overwhelmed with the amount of products in such a small place. The guy who was there was super helpful and informative which made my process very easy. read more

Been to my fair share of smoke shops in the area and this is the only one where prices don't fluctuate. Customer service is on point answering any question plus giving you advice based on other users feedback is huge. Would recommend this place to anyone read more

I love going to get my nicotine and getting to talk to Johnny! He is so knowledgeable about his products and is a great person to talk to. 10/10 recommend! read more

This is a hole in the wall - a pretty small place with one shelf of cigars. The guy who works here is extremely friendly and personable. He was glad to offer suggestions for first timers and people with specific requests in our party. Closes late on weekends so definitely grab a cigar and call it a night in Rittenhouse Square. It's the way to go. read more

Best shop in town! Knowledgeable and just a good dude. Prices for the pieces were very fair. I will be back again!!! Pro tip: Ask him about his Cuba Gooding Jr. story read more

My go-to smoke shop every time I land in Philly. Don't let this Heart-warming hole in the wall fool you. Thoughtful and charming owner and I ALWAYS find what I need! read more

One of my go to shops in center city. Everybody that works here is awesome and the selection is solid.

I went here for the first time today, it's a small smoke show with variety. The cigars (what I was looking for ranged from $5-$20. The guy was very knowledgeable and helped me picked a cognac cigar. Was there all of 5 minutes and he made it a memorable experience... if need to, I will definitely be back read more

I showed up to the business at 5:00pm during regular business hours and no one was there. A few other customers came by as well. I absolutely can't stand it when businesses are closed during regular hours. Just a vague sign that said they'd be back soon read more

Not from Philly, but stopped by here to pick up a cigar for my birthday. Small shop with a decent selection. What really stood out is the owner's friendliness (assuming he is the owner). Not only did he help us find the right cigars, he recommended places we could smoke them and gave us some cedar sticks to light them for optimal taste. He also gave some great recommendations for local coffee spots for the coffee lover in me. read more

How this guy stays in business is beyond me. Worst customer service experience I've ever come across. The thing is in order for someone to talk smack back to me, I would expect them to have some sort of knowledge and product to back it up. F- and ZERO STARS ALL DAY EVERY DAY. read more

Dude working the store was on point! He was friendly and took his time to explain things to us cigar rookies. He helped us out in picking a good beginner cigar and I enjoyed it. They also had a nice selection of hookah goods.We also picked up some of theose E-hookah sticks. Pretty good. read more

I'd give this place no stars if I could! I never write reviews, but I feel that I have to for this one... My buddy, who has given this place a lot of business, bought me a mini vape for my birthday. I put my cartridge in, just as I would normally, and in a few minutes, it got very hot, burning my hand. I tried to take the cartridge out, but it was molded with the device. I was finally able to get the cartridge out, but the device was now ruined. I went to exchange the device, as it was clearly defective... The guy at the shop told me that it was my fault and that the cartridge was faulty. He would not exchange it, and had the balls to tell me to buy another one!! I have worked quite a bit of retail in my life to know that you can damage the product out, and ship it back to the manufacturer. This guy didn't even try to help, not to mention I drove an hour to bring the device back to the store. This was one of the only birthday presents that I received, and now I have nothing. I am an influencer, and will make sure I influence people to never buy anything from this place! MAMBA OUT! read more

Had wonderful service especially on Christmas Eve. The man was very knowledgeable and kind I loved my service and would recommend it to anyone. It is a small hole in the wall, but it has everything you truly need from vapes to hookah to cigars and much more. read more

This is the best smoke shop I've ever been too I've tried other ones on 43rd street and doesn't compare. When I walked in the employee was so helpful and gave me exactly what I asked for and also explained how to use it! You never find service this great and this is one place you'll find excellent service any time of the day. Try it out its a small store but great things come in small packages and it's true for this store. Try it seriously read more

One of the best smoke shops around with the best prices! Owner is very friendly. Always a good time talking to him when I come in.

I just bought a pipe and a lighter and was very impressed with the customer service. The owner was very nice and kept great conversation while in the store. Also the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be back again. read more

Wonderful customer service. Thank you John V!! You answered all of my questions and I'm very happy with my purchase. I'll be back.

The owner doesn't honor his products and sells faulty products. Two weeks after buying the product it was broken and he told me to go pound sand and call the manufacturer. So if you want a shop that sells you a faulty product and doesn't honor what they sell here is your place to buy. The owner was so rude and didn't even get off of the phone to speak like a human being. Run fast don't shop at this fraud of a shame. The owner is a real scum of the earth. read more

John is freaking awesome!! I love this shop not all the time I want to travel to south street so I come here it's reasonable prices and super friendly helpful atmosphere. For all your smoking needs best in downtown Philly. read more

My favorite store!!! Love the atmosphere whenever I stop on by. Love the workers and love the merchandise! A MUST GO TO if you're ever in the Greater Philadelphia area. Highly recommend to all!!! read more
