“Great selection, very helpful kind staff. Christian helped us on our visit. He was immensely helpful both with answering our questions and suggesting items. This is my new go to vape store. Could not recommend more. Definitely shop here.”
“My Experience At Papa Jays Smoke Shop Was Amazing, The Employee That Been Working behind the counter was very sweet and I got to know her on a first name basis. I would definitely recommend this smoke shop if you are looking sativa hybrid or nicotine vapes.”
“First off, the customer service here is amazing, I’ve dealt with many shops where they just have no sense of how to deal with people, but this one is great. They also have an awesome selection of vapes and they’re always getting something new in to try. This shop is top notch and the only shop I ever go to, they’re the best around.”
“Staff are so friendly here. They treat everyone with respect and are very knowledgeable. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro, they will take care of you. Huge selection at great prices with a large indoor seating area and outdoor patio area. Very nice location. Specials, events and more happening often. Very impressed. Purchase your cigar there and you can byob. They take credit card and Apple Pay too.”
“If your looking for a place to get bourbon without gouging price and a freindly owner, this is it. A selection second to none in the area. This is mu go to spot.”
“The place is cool. Cigar huge selection of smoking equipment, lotto, goodies, cigar room, cigarettes, and pipe/rolling tobacco. I've been going for over 5 years.”
“This wonderful shop owner helped me 100% very knowledgeable and helped a new roll your own cigarette customer. He explained everything very well and I highly recommend this tobacco shop.”
“An electronic rig of mine died and I thought I purchased the same version, however, it was the older one that I already had.
Upon returning, there was a situation with a staff member not adhering to business policies, or rather provided incorrect information to me, so my blunder couldn’t technically be resolved.
Fortunately, it seems that said staff member was on their way out of employment, and to not make a special exception on their polices, we worked out an agreement - I left satisfied and the store still made a profit.
I’ve yet to return to see if our agreement still stands and will update this review with more details if so or not.
Overall, this place featured cheaper items and stocked products that nearby larger stores didn’t have! Straight to business and none of that sales banter.”
“As the pearly gates opened, I found a vast expanse of every type of alcohol I've dreamed of. I proceeded to fill my cart Noah style, 2x2 loading up for a long weekend. After having found this Eden of alcohol, I made sure to craft a map so as to be able to find my way back next weekend.”

“Thanks Scott !
I have been to many locations and Windy City has been my go to. Usually when I am looking for specific coils or pods, they have them in stock. This is the second time I have gone to this specific store. Both times I have gone, the staff was helpful, patient and explanitory. This time I met Scott and he took the time to understand exactly what it was that I was looking for and gave ideas and suggestions with finding the right balance for me as far as tastes, strengths between pod systems, coils, and flavors. I appreciate the passion and effort he put in. Making it a pleasant experience. I wIll definately be going back again, especially since usually some coils I can't find in most Vape stores, they have. If they don't have them, they can recommend where to find what you need.”
“One of the best smoke shops around. Cash discount, high quality products, friendly staff and just all around great experience every time I go in. They’re about 30 min from me each way and I make the drive for this location”
“If you're looking for cigars, this place has a special room that has a special temperature in the room with dozens of different brands, sizes, and gift boxes. Along with plenty to choose from inside the liquor store, shots up front at register. Definitely will be back for another cigar.”

“Finally this is under new management. Improved selection, much better products, friendly staff. Even the lighting is better. Impossible to describe the improvement.”
“Cool little building tucked in behind the BP station. Tiny store, so just the regular stuff. No real craft beer to speak of so room for improvement. If they can find the cooler space. Hell, I'd be ok if it was warm as long as they had some. But maybe their demand for that refined beer taste. ? Come on man, why can't people just drink GOOD BEER?! I'm definitely spoiled though. ? ?”
“This smoke shop is ran by genuinely good people. They offer FÜM (a replacement therapy tool to quit smoking) and cores (essential oil filters), which has been life-changing and so helpful in helping me quit. I cannot express how grateful I feel for the owner and manager because they are actively working to make a positive difference in the world in the ways that count.”
“Dan is one of the nicest and most friendly small business owners(as well as his staff) that you find in this area. Store has a great product selection and very fair prices. Keep it up Dan! Cheers!”
