HOURS of Operation:…read more Monday - Sunday 9am - 8pm My tobacco connection for the 8 month sentence while living in the town of Los Banos, USA.... Known to many as The Toilet-bowl of the USA as well as by myself........ However to date this smoke shop, Cutija Taqueria and Marylou the woman who trademarked my pixie platinum doo, were THE ONLY THREE highlights of this town during my self imposed sentence there.... Kenny spoiled me rotten at this shop so much so that filling his shoes is going to be and has been a tough one..... I smoke only one cigarette: American Spirit Menthol Light in the neon lime green box and the day they either change the recipe or cease to make them will be the day that I quit smoking for sure..... My smokes are also one of the most highly priced amongst cigarettes as well which is completely twisted since I am a certified bargain shopper not to be confused with being cheap, but finding a substantially below market rate for American Spirits is more than difficult however since day one of when I stepped foot into this shop Kenny hooked me up and had in stock (also a rarity) my poison AND at over $6 bucks less than where I had been getting them in Modesto, CA for the previous 2 years.... HERE's what I LOVE: ~ Kenny..... Kenny is a early 20's younger man with excellent manners, a great business sense, cool sense of humor, kick ass customer service skills AND charisma for days..... For 8 solid months I made purchases from him and witnessed him treat his other customers as amazingly as he did me... LOVE that ;) ~ Incense too....... Ooooohhhhhhhh incense...... I love incense.. it's been in my life since I was a wee lil one running around at my great granny's, great aunt's, aunties and so on and so forth.... I guess you could call it an addiction but I burn multiple sticks daily and am a connoisseur of it.... It would be here that I would discover my favorite Patchouli stick to date: Gonesh 'Extra Rich' Patchouli incense thanks to Kenny who does the ordering and told me to try it one day as I was shopping inside.... I did and have been buying it ever since...... ~ Hours of Operation: 9am-8pm 7 days a week..... Now this may seem like no biggie to someone living in a metropolinish area, however when living in the ol' toilet you quickly realize that not only are so many of the people that live there but ALL of the businesses as well, operate on their own Twilightzonian type of time zone and getting your business done can be damn near impossible at best not to mention aggravating as all hell... Gonna miss you Kenny boy the smoke shop king you did me right.... ;)~

Been living here in Los banos for a year, needed a new shop to go to buy my kratom, at first they…read morewere charging $25.00 for a O.P.M.S kratom shot, I didn't agree with the pricing but they gave me a deal every once in awhile, then after a year they changed there kratom price to $20.00, which is more reasonable, I buy my O.P.MS shots online, you can get them for $15.00 and get the box of 45 for $540.00 not bad, but if you don't have any it's a great place to pick some up at, the people that work there are always with open arms and welcoming every time I walk in, they always greet me with a smile, I really enjoy coming here. They have a wide range of all products to choose from, vape, pipes, e cigarettes, you name it they most likely have it, amazing employees, I would recommend coming here if you need anything at all, good prices, great people. 10/10 recommend!

I picked one up on the way to merced. Unwrapped it took a puff, nothing. Ok. Well on the way back I'll swap it out. Shouldn't be a big deal. It will be about 15-20 minutes. Well I bring it to the clerk. Tell him I just bought it. He said," no refunds no exchanges." But I just bought it. He shows me a little sticky memo note on the glass. So I tossed it to him and walked out. Tossed, not thrown!! Didn't raise my voice. Ok. I will never be back. Good day sir. So think about it before you do business here. Shady folks.

Not really much of a smoke shop, they do have a small variety of smoke and vape accessories but if…read moreyou are looking for walls of bongs and cases full of pipes and grinders then you may want to yelp another spot. I appreciate them attempting to stock whats popular, but whoever does their ordering doesn't really seem to appreciate quality as they choose garbage flavors and supply cheaper brands.

Usually they don't bother you but if they do the owner is more than willing to tell them to leave, he even walked me to my car because it was dark outside when I went there last.

Super friendly staff - they know my family so well, they knew who I was the first time I walked in there...I was by myself, haha. Everything you'd probably expect from a smoke shop; Cigarettes, various glass, accessories, supplies for hookah, a really decent selection of vaping setups (from starter-kits to high quality parts for any enthusiast) and E-juice. There's also a selection of drinks, snacks, and airbrushed gear for sport's fans. I don't follow any, but the apparel is interesting and seems pretty unique - if that's your thing.
