This place has a great selection and usually a very friendly and helpful staff, particularly Mike…read more However, today, while at the register, another employee was having a very offensive conversation out loud with a friend/another customer. He was speaking about "fucking muslims" and that his "Viking blood makes it hard to see people who look like they aren't even from here hitting women and shit". It wasn't even a passing comment, he continued on this gross rant until I decided to say "Y'know, this isn't the best conversation to be overhearing as I make my purchase". Then he mentioned something to the effect of "That's why I love working here. I can say what I want and they're cool with it". If what he says is true, and Paramount Imports is totally comfortable with their staff going on racist rants on the sales floor, then I am perfectly happy going somewhere else. I am just making this review so that others - particularly any Muslim people - stay away from this place. It's unfortunate, because it's an otherwise cool place.

PHONE ORDERS AVAILABLE DURING LOCKDOWN. Check their instagram (paramountimports) or check their…read morewebsite (paramountimports.com) beforehand! If you're 4/20 friendly and have not been here... what are you doing?? (Haha!) Actually, it's not just for people who are 4/20 but for people who are into art, jewelry, crystals and anything "mystical." I spoke to the person at the front and they gave me a little history. Apparently, Paramount Imports is the oldest headshot in NorCal, they've been open since 1967 (hella long!). That means they've withstood and represent the "psychedelic age." I trust this place and the quality of products that they provide. For example, their products include: - Smoke items such as the usual pipes, bongs, hookah sets, vaporizers, pax and microvapes It's always nice to come in and look at the different pipes that they sell. They have lots of smoking accessories such as grinders, glass replacement parts, cases - They have a ton of interesting books about marijuana, crystals, drinking games, growing wild mushrooms lol you name it! - Cool cards and tarot reading materials - Lots of posters, tapestries, - Variety of jewelry, crystals, incense, sage, palo Santo, - Mystical statues, toys/gifts - Clothes for all ages ranging from tie dye, sarong, gloves, hats band T's etc I would consider taking someone here for a date if they're into any of the things I listed ^^

This place was epic. AJ the manager helped me pick out some cigars for my friend's 50th birthday…read more Their selection was overwhelming honestly. They had a very cool smoking room with leather chairs. I wonder if it's also BYOB (bring your own bourbon)? I didn't ask.

My first encounter with Mission Pipe shop was in 1999 at their original Town and Country location…read more Great selection of cigars and welcoming staff. When they moved to The Alameda, I still enjoyed the selection and the staff but I never felt comfortable hanging out in the lounge area. Donna always made me feel welcome in her shop, though. At the latest location, under Craig's ownership, I feel truly welcome and comfortable. It's such a nice store with an impressive selection. Then you add the comfortable outdoor lounge and the spacious indoor lounge and it is like a paradise! We only visit San Jose a few times a year and when we do, we try to find time to enjoy the space. This weekend, we visited on a Saturday. They had my favorite cigar (Tabernacle broadleaf double corona) and my husband and I secured comfortable chairs in the indoor lounge. It was a smaller crowd but just like last time, everyone said hi to us and as new regular customers arrived, they also greeted us. We met some new people, including Craig the owner, and had a lovely time reading (me) and watching sports. You think this place couldn't get any better but wait! They also have a sparkling clean bathroom. I'm already looking for another reason to travel to San Jose.

Selling fake FLUM vapes - BEWARE EVERYONE!…read more Advertised 2 for $30. The first was a dud and they replaced it. After going home to inspect it, these don't have the normal flavor, the bottom sticker near the charger port is printed with larger letters than normal. The coloring of exterior is a bit off. After each puff it pops a little from the draw and the bottom light stays on for a second which is NOT normal. I threw them both in the trash. Lesson learned!

I love that they have a big selection of RAW products as well, those are my favorite. I'm usually in and out within about 5-10 minutes, but lately I've been a little curious about some of the papers they carry, especially the Juicy Jay's. Love those things! Thank you for a pleasurable experience every dang time, Hot Box! Love you guys!
