Pete C.

"Tobacco Shop"...yeah right! With a name like "The Joint", we all know what goes down here. A huge selection of pipes, papers, and other contraptions to be used for smoking...tobacco. Umm, yeah. Compared to the handful of similar places around campus that cater to the ever-growing number of college-going "tobacco" users, The Joint is tops in Columbus. I haven't had the need to shop here in a few years, but when I was in the market for some of the products that are offered I was always surprised and even perplexed by the selection. A large number of the pipes are hand-blown by local craftsmen ("hippies") and can be found in sizes/styles to fit even the most casual smoker's price range. The one thing that I like the most about The Joint is it's staff, which is more or less the same guy with dark hair and glasses every day. He's got a wicked sense of humor and is rarely ever condescending like some of the other older, more jaded head shop proprietors on High St. can be at times. Oh yeah, I almost forgot (probably from using products from The Joint too often) to mention that this place is open super late as well to cater to your late night glassware needs. As infrequent as they may be, it's comforting to know that someone is selling whippets at 3 AM on a Tuesday. Ya know, just in case.

Wanted to stop by this place real quick to get a gift for a special someone. Keeping in mind that I…read moredon't smoke, I entered the building. All you could smell was different aromas of many cigars. After getting past the smoke, I glanced up and this place had a huge space for what seemed like many many rows and shelves of remarkable cigars. They say this is the largest cigar shop in Ohio. Definitely the largest I've seen. There was a sitting area located at the far end of the store for people to enjoy their preferences. Also, I don't know anything about cigars only a lil research previously looked up on the internet. The clerk was very very helpful! I told him a lil about the guy I was buying for as far as what he drinks and what mild, moderate and bold flavors and intensities I knew he liked. I asked about a few cigars that I researched and thought would be good and the clerk either reassured me that they were great Selections and/or made other great suggestions. He took his time and explained to me the details such as aging of cigar/drinks & what drinks he thought paired well with each cigar that I planned on purchasing. I thought that was exceptional and was quite surprised of the etiquette given. I didn't know it was so much to selecting a cigar. Its very personalized. Its like buying a vehicle....selection, taste & style is everything. Needless to say I left a big smile on my face with the selections I chose. I sure hope that special someone loves what I opted-in on !!

They have a large selection it's really not a good lounge but they have a large selection of cigars…read moreand the prices are okay parking is plenty staff is good

Chateau Wine and Spirits to the rescue! But for real. It was Thanksgiving afternoon and my family…read moresuddenly had a craving for a cocktail. Unfortunately, we didn't have any of the ingredients needed to make it fun, if you know what I mean. We searched Yelp and found this spot rather close by. We decided to give it a try and were stoked to find that they were open... and busy at that. They had a great inventory of wine, liquor, beer, etc. and had exactly what we needed, prosecco, schnapps, vodka and fruit puree. I'll also add that despite how busy they were, the staff was great. They helped us find what we were looking for while we wandering around aimlessly trying to find the goods. Prices were right on money, too. I don't live in the area, but my sister does, and I have no doubt we'll be back when need be. #grateful

They have a good selection of stuff (I am a bourbon and cocktail person) but nothing amazing. What really frustrated me was around payment. They charge a fee if you use a card: their prices are the same as other stores who do not charge a fee to use a card. Anyways, I used a debit card and found out, after, I was charged a fee. They did offer to refund my charge and I could pay with cash but I did not have enough cash on me. In my experience, this is the ONLY store I have EVER been charged a fee for using a debit card or credit card. It just feels greedy.

Yep, that's what happened to me over the weekend. When I noticed, I did a quick search and discovered Smoke Zone Smoke Shop just up the street from me. Located on the busy corner of High St. and 5th Ave., this smoke shop is currently off the beaten path due to construction, but provides nothing short of helpful, attentive service. Street parking doesn't exist in this area of the Short North right now, but here in a few months it should be available again. Until then, there's a small parking lot across the street, right next to BrewDog. I made the quick trek across the street, dodging construction workers and makeshift ramps to be greeted immediately. At a quick glance, I noticed they had what I needed but I browsed around for a minute too. They really offer everything you need if you're a smoker of any kind. From large glass bongs to vape pens and everything in between (yes, there's a lot in between), they've got it. Their prices are on par with what I've seen at other similar establishments too. I'll definitely be back and I really appreciate how friendly their staff was. Pro tip - they got a stellar check-in offer for a free pack of rolling papers. Just an FYI... you're welcome!

I'm a pretty simple customer but I'm always greeted with a warm hello and the two main people who…read morehelp me, a guy and a girl are always nice. Always entering and leaving happy. Wide selection
