Met the store owner tonight and I'm already friends with him. The glass is high quality and he actually knows what he's talking about. Great business. read more

Great smoke shop in NYC! The price is very reasonable and the guys who were working were very helpful. I had a great experience and would definitely come back here. read more

The man was pleasant to speak to and knowledgeable. However, he lied to me about the prices. For starters, he had s $400 price tag on the piece, and immediately told me he would sell it to me for $250. I guess bells should have gone off here. He told me the ash catcher/additional chamber was worth $175. Eventually I found out it is worth no more than $60. The bong itself looks to be worth no more than $100. This makes the cost nearly $100 more than what it should be priced at anywhere else based on the manufacturers Pricing. He also made As an update to you last reply, Johnny. I am in fact also a business owner and pay taxes that contribute to society as well. I don't pretend to know what I don't know. You should also not assume to know what you don't know about me. I am not attacking you. Merely letting individuals know through my review that they can purchase the same gear at half the price. I am just trying to inform the community so that they may have the best informed decision. Thank you again for your service. read more

First and foremost, Ray is the man. He is very professional, polite, knowledgable, and generous (was happy to negotiate a lower price point on my purchase). Inside the shop, they are well stocked and will have everything you could possibly need. The variety was overwhelming and Ray was happy to walk through all of his glassware. Overall, I was entirely impressed with the experience and was happy to do business there. Highly recommended! read more

The Smoking Shop - Tobacco Shops Near Me - New York, New York

I absolutely love this place. 100% the best smoke shop I've ever been too. I bought a bong and some accessories and Johnny was amazing with helping me pick everything out. I can't recommend this place enough to everyone. read more

If you buy Juul pods I recommend checking if your pods are fake, here is how https://www.vapeactive.com/blogs/blogs/how-to-spot-a-fake-juul-and-fake-juul-pods Don't go here. Guy sold me fake pods. He tried covering it by starting a conversation about how other shops sell fake pods. Turns out he's the scammer read more

My partner just purchased a 4th Dimension bong at this shop. Service was great! The quality of products also excellent. Highly recommending this spot to everyone I know. read more

What an amazing experience! I interrupted Alex while he was having dinner, but he was such an awesome help in choosing 8 cigars for a Chinese New Year gift for a friend. He's super knowledgeable and so wonderfully helpful. If you ever visit and like to sing, he's a phenomenal tenor...ask him to break out in a tune! read more

My bong broke the night before and I came in needing a nice piece but also reliable. I told Jimi my price range and he suggested an excellent 4th Dimension piece gave me a great deal as well. Jimi is the man, transaction was quick and easy. Although I live in a different borough it's pretty close to my job and i'll definitely be going back soon!! Big ups to The Smoking Shop read more

If you want to go to a place where the people know their stuff, go to The Smoking Shop. The guys working here are incredibly knowledgeable about the products they sell and are mad cool. I was in the market for a vaporizer and did all my research beforehand and narrowed it down to 3 models. When I visited the shop and told the owner I was interested in a vap, he took an active interest in my purchase and we started to discuss my budget, where I plan on using it and other criteria that would allow him to find a model tailored to my needs. I also brought up the 3 models I was considering based off of my research and he showed them to me and also suggested models that were comparable to them but way cheaper. I must have seen 6-7 vaps in that one visit and not once did he push me to buy a thing. I eventually decided on one and he knocked off $20 bucks (I paid with cash) and he also threw in a pretty well made grinder for free. I plan on going there from now. read more

It's true.... The guy working here is maaadddd cool ! He isn't pushy at all and answers any questions you might have. I don't know if he does that usually , but he discounted the price on the sticker of the grinder and bowl that I bought there. Thats wassup ! They have alot of selections of items and many things to choose from. This is the first head shop I have been to in the city and I dont need to go to another it seems. I could easily see this shop being in Cali somewhere. This place is it read more

Highly recommended - particularly if you want a higher quality pipe, but don't want to spend a fortune. I came here after going to Shisha international, who impressed me as having a large store with some nice show pieces, but the cheapest bong that I liked there was 400 dollars (I said I'd have to think about that one...). The Smoking Shop on the other hand is less than half the size, but have a surprisingly wide selection, and I was able to get a similar bong to the one I saw at Shisha - for half the price! The staff are friendly and I never felt pressured to buy anything. They even threw in some free wraps and papers! (Inside Tips - The older guy (probably the owner) is going to give you the best deals, it's cheaper to pay cash, and of course, always remember to negotiate! :) read more

Best smoke shop in the city; maybe the world. Johnny is helpful and you automatically want to be his best friend. Really fair with pricing and much higher quality product than you'd get at a standard bodega. read more

I don't know why these reviews are so lame. Unlike the majority of West 4th smoke shops, this place is great. The guys there are sweet and won't jerk you around. All of the prices are reasonable and they are patient as hell. I'm not sure what else to tell you Yelpers, but this is my go-to spot for anything in this category of shopping. read more

This is THE place. i'm telling you. Didn't have high hopes because ive literally wasted hundreds of dollars at other shitty smoke shops in the city, but decided to pop in anyway because i live close by. I will never go anywhere else. You're not going to find a better selection of glass, papers, pens, grinders or anything else you can think of....so I don't suggest waisting your time going to any other shops in the area (trust me I've been to them all). I was in the market for a vape pen because my THIRD one just broke on me...smh. The guy was super chill...definitely a smoker too because he knows what he's talking about. I told him what I wanted and he presented me a couple choices...very patient and informative. Got exactly what I need, and for a great price at that! A customer for life. read more

Go in In Peace, get a piece, leave in Peace ;) just with a little less coins but in Peace. Most awesome mellow shop ever. Knowledgeable person working at the shop... Etc... So basically every other good point other comments have mentioned. Made it my mission one day to find a good handy dandy vape. Upon giving it further thought I realized that I couldn't just walk into any shop and ask if they had what my heart was desiring ha! After reading wonderful reviews about this spot I went in. The shop was empty and I got amazing help from the gentleman working there. He was courteous, not pushy and super informative which I was so thankful for! I found my hearts desire quickly enough all for 153 with a small grinder thrown in, and even stayed a little longer than planned to admire the glass work. Just What you'd hope a Smoke Shop experience would be like. Relaxed & informative better said hmm enlightening, Wink! read more

The range of this shop is amazing. Especially for the area. They have everything from top tier name brand bongs, to vape atomizers, to obscure rolling papers. The owner knows his clientele and knows his inventory. If you know what you are looking for, he can definitely steer you in the right direction. The price tags shocked me, but we were able to negotiate a more than fair price. I normally don't do this type of shopping in Manhattan, but the selection and negotiated prices won me over! read more

They have a decent selection of stuff, but nothing too crazy. I got a pretty cool gold and purple piece, some Cyclone Blunts (they carry the clear and paper ones), and a grinder. The guy that worked there knocked off about $15 off my piece as well as my boyfriends. They carry some vaporizers, crazy smoking pieces, bubblers, bongs, one hitters... Pretty much for all your basic needs. Not bad for NYC, considering it's seriously overpriced when it comes to smoking tools. read more

Not biggest selection of pipes and such (see Shisha) but best curated selection by far. Also, most engaging, educated, helpful service. Will explain everything no problem (difference in glass, brands, etc). A little pricey but you get what you pay for. read more

With all the smoke shops in the city it is well worth it to stay OUT of this one. Was not willing to do the right thing. Highly recommend any other shop. After years of going there had the door shut in face over a $20 glass pipe with a manufacturer's defect. Tried to work something out the very next day and was told "No, you're out of luck ". Like I said there is a lot of smoke shop in the city, walked to the corner "Village Cigars" and got the same pipe for $15. THIS SHOP SUCKS RATS ASS! read more

Yelped a smoke shop in the area and I am SO THANKFUL to find this place. I didn't catch the name of who was helping us but he was so helpful. Our interaction was so great he made our night! The prices were also amazing - probably the best we've seen in the city. Now, no matter where we are in the city, we will make sure we come here for our smoking needs! read more

The guy who works here is very knowledgeable and helpful. The first time I came in was for rolling papers, rolling machine and a new grinder, he gave me filter paper for free. I asked about the at home vaping systems and was interested in the Da Buddha which surprisingly he had both colors even had the Silver Surfer! I came back a couple of days later to buy Da Buddha and a scientific water bong. This shop is truly great has brands that most smoking shops wouldn't have and he won't try to up sell you things that you don't need. If your a first timer he will def give recommendations and if your on a budget he'll even work within that or give you a nice discount off the sticker pricing. This is my go to smoke shop when you don't feel like ordering online with the crazy pricing and shipping expense. Will be coming back again :) read more

I have shopped this store since it opened. However my most recent experience was so insulting I can no longer recommend this facility. In short, i inquired about a replacement part for a vape. I spoke with Ray. He told me that he had the part in stock. He also said said he normally charged $35 for it but knew it eas being sold on the internet for $30 and would sell it for the same price (available on Amazon for $29 and free shipping with Prime membership). When I arrived the following evening I was greeted by a bald headed middle aged man (obviously not Ray). He found the part after much searching. The price on the package was $49.95. I said, "I was told I would be charged $30". He proceeded to grab it out of my hand, drop it in a box behind the counter amd dismissed me by telling me to "come back tomorrow" and talk to Ray. As a person who runs service organizations and decades ago ran a large bookstore here in NYC, I find it particularly galling to be treated with flippant arrogance and rudeness. Sorry folks, it may have been great years ago but times have changed. Nobody needs to be jerked around with lies and rudeness. You can spend your money someplace where you are treated with if nothing else, a little decency and respect. read more

I've been a customer here for over 14 years. Johnny and Ray are both super cool, and WILL hook you up when you visit, every time...close to the PATH and W. 4th St. subway, no hassles, no pressure, quality gear at the best prices in NYC, hands down. I wouldn't be caught dead at another headshop...(buying glass at least) Give them a shot if you haven't already... read more

This place is definitely as good as it gets in terms of dead shops. they have a very very wide array of ROOR and other water pipes that would rival any southern california head shop or equivalent..in fact, i am glad to say that i am a happy customer of theirs..visit them if you find the need to, or if your into that kinda thing, otherwise you will have the same reaction as my mother did when she walked in, which was to do an optical 180 towards the door.. read more

Amazing staff so friendly and knowledgeable. Was new to water pipes and everything. The man patiently went over everything from how to use it to how to clean properly to the purposes of the percs. At the end he gave me a great deal on a waterpipe. Love the store. Thanks for all your help!!! read more

love. love. love!!! very helpful people!!! he got me right the first time. and it's in a gay-friendly environment so you know there wouldnt be too much shade!!! I will return!!! read more

Johnny was great. Super helpful and friendly. Worth the trip in from queens for good customer service and an awesome selection.

This is a GREAT place for all your heady needs. Johnny the propitiator is such a cool dude and he gave me a killer deal. I recommend going there just to hang with this guy, seriously awesome shop. read more

I'm digging this cool little smoke shop in the West Village. The guy that runs it seems really cool too. He took the time to answer a few of my questions even though he was busy with other customers. The shop has a nice, well organized selection of items to pick from. In all, a tiny smoke shop with friendly NYC style service ;) read more

Buying for a friend's birthday. Extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful worker with a wide selection. Will come back here again

The best smoke shop in NYC by far. Johnny and Ray have it going on!

The staff here is amazing! Top notch products and top notch pricing. He really have me great deals on the products I purchased and I strongly recommend coming here read more

Amazing service!!! Favorite smoke shop. Johnnie is amazing. Definitely coming back for all our hookah needs.

it's a small place but definitely has a knowledgeable staff. i came by looking to find a replacement for my pipe and some hookah accessories. i asked for prices (even though majority of the products are labeled) and what would he recommend for what i'm looking for. i only wish they carried the shisha tabacco though. they got all your basic hookah, one hitter, a few bongs, bubblers, just what you need sort of thing. read more

Roy was amazingly helpful.This was a first time Hookah purchase and he was very patient and accommodating. We left feeling very pleased with our purchase. Great guy, great shop. read more

Ray was amazing and gave me a deal on my first Hookah. A lot of options to choose from and if you have questions, I'm sure Ray's got you covered. I'm definitely coming back here for the flavored tobaccos. Thanks Ray! read more
