“Friendly staff, great selection of goods. I even requested an incense scent they didn't carry and they ordered it for me. Great location and open late. Can't wait to see the remodeled show floor!”
“I was traveling from Tucson to Duluth Mn. last week and stopped to check out their line of Kratom. I'm VERY glad I did. They have the BEST Kratom on the market! I know. because I've been using Kratom for (4) years for arthritis pain. Red Bali is what I use. The Red Bali they sell is much more efficient than the stuff I've used!!!! Do yourself a favor and stop at Central Tobacco! They are carrying ALL the different types of Kratom!”
“The staff is so friendly and helpful. It's been YEARS since I'd tried anything containing THC, and these guys haven't steered me wrong yet. All I have to do is tell them what effects I'm looking for, and they put the right product in my hands.”
“Came here after being disappointed from Smoke Den Tabacco near White Bear Lake. The owner or employee here was so friendly. Got to even try out the vape inside after I bought it and he already had the confidence of "Go for it. I know it's guna be good."And it was! He even knows his products and explained to me how to work the GeekBar's pulse and close at the bottom saying I'd get more hits if i kept it in the middle. It was even CHEAPER than what I originally paid for at the other one. Thanks for making my day!! 10/10 I recommend!”
“Excellent service, friendly staff, everybody’s very chill & willing to help plus every time you come in they will give you a card for them to stamp on it. Every time you spend $5.00 or more you can select a free beverage from the fridge in the back by the Cigar Room! Oh & also after a few times of shopping there you get 25% off your entire purchase & they give you a new card in return, best Vape shop I’ve ever been too!P.S: yes I just ate some hot Cheetos an hour ago ??”
“Called ahead to ask if they had a certain kratom I was looking for, as i was just passing through in my semi. When I showed up, the guy was extremely helpful and showed me exactly what I was looking for, and then gave me a better price than I expected!! Almost the same price as when I buy it in bulk online. Can't beat that.”
“As I pulled into the reserved parking space, I was greeted by Z.W. with a friendly smile, wave & hello! I was having a problem with my foot & couldn’t get my flip flop on to go inside. Z.W. noticed, came out to my car & processed my purchase for me without having to leave my car! As always, he knew exactly what I wanted! Now that’s what I call top notch service! Thank you so much!!! ?”
“*****TOP NOTCH***** Smoke has one the greatest selections of cigars I’ve seen in the Midwest let alone Minnesota. The staff make you feel like you’re coming to a buddies house . I’ve shopped there so much I consider Omar & Tino family. Yeah they have changed the way I look for good cigars and point me to great cigars. Also hooks me up with a few CBD products for my sleeping.”
“Worth the drive for cheaper cigarettes and they even special order a carton of cigarettes that they don't normally carry just for me! Super awesome customer service and easy to get to.”
“It’s been a pleasant experience every time i’ve been here, also love that they are one of very few that are open until 10pm when i need a new vape late at night! love this store!”
“This is one of the best tobacco stores in the area. The owner and employees are very pleasant and helpful. I wanted a certain vape which they didn't carry but they ordered it and now carry it.”
“Been a customer for years and can’t find any reason to go elsewhere. Unless it’s another one of their stores. Still waiting on the Handlebar by Must Vape to get in stock.”
“Friendly Fridley's best corner store. Always clean with helpful staff. Lots to choose from. Stay tuned for their in store deli coming soon. Gas prices are always competitive.”
“I come here for Devin! She is so knowledgeable and has great customer service. She’s so helpful and friendly whenever I stop in. I wouldn’t go to this location if it wasn’t for her”
“Great place friendly staff. Yessin went above and beyond with his service. Answered all my questions and made sure I got the best deal possible. My go to tobacco store from now on!”
“The only place I go. Not creepy at all. Best part - only store that always has a sale table. I shouldn't say. Friendly Arab folks who speak good english and have exciting stories from the Middle East. One of them was petroleum engineer in Egypt.”
“Best Smoke Shop in the Cities! Been going here for years now, I have never had a problem! They have the best selection & have vapes that I can’t find anywhere else.Highly recommend them to everyone in my network!! The owner & employees are great guys”
“I went here for the first time weeks ago, will be a returning customer always! Great ppl, clean environment, honest! Definitely worth it! They keep it real all! Very good quality on anything you are looking for!”
“Only place I go now for my CBD and tobacco products. The people that work there are super friendly. And they have the best prices from ham lake,Blaine,isanti, and Anoka. Believe me iv checked”
“The staff here are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, readily assisting me with finding exactly what I need; the selection of products is vast and well-organized, with high quality items at reasonable prices; the store is clean and inviting, making my shopping experience a pleasure! This is my favorite local vape shop”
“I love this smoke shop! They've got a great selection of niche products, and the prices are reasonable. The staff is really knowledgeable and helpful, so feel free to ask them literally anything. It's in a convenient location, and they're open way later than any smoke shop in the area.; which is super handy and they get my business because of it. Definitely worth checking out!”
“This place was awesome! There was PLENTY to do. Multiple food trucks, rides for the kids, rides for everyone, plenty of vendors to buy stuff, a fire pit to warm up, etc. It was really nice and I wish my city had a fair like this one.”
“I visited this store to look for De Soi non alcoholic adaptogen sparkling beverage. Total Wine has a large section for non alcoholic beverages. I found what I was looking for on the bottom shelf after some searching. In general I found it very hard to evaluate other options. There were so many and the ingredients are listed in tiny print on the backs of cans or bottles. It would really help to have guidance of some sort on the various offerings. This category of beverages exploding right now and there are tons of options. Super confusing as many include funky sugar alcohols or cane sugar and other undesirable ingredients”

“I'm glad they got the tobacco I get in the tubes I get I think their other products are a little expensive at least I get a free lighter with my tobacco I guess that's a good thing of course I don't know what to do with the point system but I don't ever seem to get points enough to get a discount on anything anymore and when the pandemic started I had a $5 off coupon that just disappeared Into Thin Air I guess”
“Swing in for a pack of cigarettes. They were out of the kind I wanted but I was only getting that brand cuz it was cheaper. But here it was less than 80¢ difference. So I got the brand name cigs. The security guard was very polite and opened the door for me and the counter dude was also very helpful. I e never stopped in here before but if I lived closer it would be my go to place. the cost was less than I usually pay. But the customer service was on point and I appreciate it!”

Over all I have had nothing but a good experience shopping at Anoka Tobacco. I Thank there staff for making it a pretty cool tobacco shop!”
“Always really nice to me. Today he let me exchange a disposable because it didn’t work out of the box. I did have my receipt. He checked it out and couldn’t get it to work either. Recommended testing them in the store next time just so it doesn’t happen again.”
“The new manager is really great and changing up the store really nicely. They have great choices and a new stock. Its also really clean, i recommend everyone to come here.”
“Total Wine: A Wine Lover's Paradise (and Potential Nightmare)
My recent visit to Total Wine was an experience that left me both exhilarated and overwhelmed. As a self-proclaimed wine enthusiast, I've always been drawn to the allure of vast wine selections and the potential for discovering hidden gems. However, Total Wine took this concept to a whole new level, leaving me both awestruck and slightly bewildered.
The sheer volume of bottles on display is nothing short of astonishing. From floor-to-ceiling shelves lined with an endless array of reds, whites, and rosés, to meticulously curated displays showcasing regional specialties and limited releases, every inch of the store is a testament to the sheer breadth of the wine world.
As I wandered through the aisles, my eyes darted from bottle to bottle, each label promising a unique story and flavor profile. The temptation to sample every single one was almost irresistible. However, the sheer magnitude of the selection quickly became overwhelming. With so many choices vying for my attention, I found myself paralyzed by indecision.
I spent hours meticulously scanning the shelves, reading labels, and trying to decipher the cryptic tasting notes. I sought out recommendations from knowledgeable staff members, eager to tap into their expertise and uncover hidden treasures. Yet, despite their best efforts, the sheer volume of information was still daunting.
In the end, I left the store empty-handed, my mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. On one hand, I was exhilarated by the sheer magnitude of the selection and the potential for discovery. On the other hand, I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices and the fear of making the wrong decision.
My experience at Total Wine serves as a stark reminder that sometimes, having too much choice can be a curse rather than a blessing. While the store's vast selection is undoubtedly impressive, it can also be paralyzing for even the most seasoned wine connoisseur.
For those who are new to wine or simply looking for a hassle-free shopping experience, I would recommend exploring smaller, more curated wine shops. These establishments often offer a more personalized approach, with knowledgeable staff members who can help you navigate the complex world of wine and find bottles that suit your individual tastes.
However, for those who are truly passionate about wine and enjoy the thrill of the hunt, Total Wine remains an unparalleled destination. Just be prepared to embrace the chaos and the potential for information overload.”
