The girls in there are always super pleasant and make conversation. If they were the only ones working there it’d be 5 stars. But unfortunately I went in while the older man was working and got attitude for asking if a specific vape was 15k or 25k puff since it said both on the box. (In hind sight I can see the answer was a bit obvious but it wasn’t to me in the moment as an autistic person who recently learned to speak to people in public). The man in question decided it was such a stupid question he had to make fun of me because it was so obvious “the bigger box is the bigger one”. I had to leave without making a purchase because I ended up crying due to being ridiculed for asking a simple question.

My boyfriend and I go here alot since we first saw the sign on the side of Signal Butte saying $5 cigarettes, so we went in to check it out. Ron, the co-owner has 3 different brands of cigarettes for $5 that's with tax included. We have gotten know Ron, who is a very nice person. His partner on the other hand could really use some training in customer service and how not to be rude. But if you are looking for a new smoke shop, this one is great, they have pretty much everything you are looking for and the prices are great!!!

I highly recommend that everyone that lives in the area of signal Butte road and Apache trail go visit this small business and see how good their prices are and how helpful Ron is when you first visit like I did and didn't know a thing about it. I live literally across the street from it and I kept seeing the $5 pack of cigarettes signs but never stopped until about a week ago and I found out that they've been there for 5 years and I couldn't believe I've been seeing that sign for so long now. I am so glad that I stopped in there just to get some inexpensive cigarettes in between trips to the Indian reservation for cartons of cigarettes that I've been doing for years, mostly because of no tax and of course it's cheaper than most retail stores, but I just found out after going there twice that there's no tax on their $5 packs of cigarettes either. Nobody can beat their prices on cigarettes out of all the many small businesses in the Apache Junction immediate area and there's a lot of them. I will continue to go there from now on for all of the different things I buy on a regular basis because their prices are better than anywhere I have been in Apache Junction and East Mesa. I hope more people go and find out what I have to help out this small business, because I know I want them to stay around for a long time! Of course, right now it's a little bit of a pain in and out of there with the construction, but easy to get in and out of there from south to North on signal Butte, east to west on Apache trail there's a left turn into this business amongst other great businesses there in the strip mall, and west to east on Apache trail you can turn right right into the strip mall parking lot. Apache trail is one lane pretty far west of signal Butte I have been finding out. I'm not sure how far and one lane east to west. But anyone and everyone out here in AJ that's familiar with how Apache Trail works with all their u-turns across both sides of it everywhere it's easy to figure out where you can do your u-turn and come back to where you want to go and it's not very far to do it either once you figure it out. I live on the North side of Apache trail from where they are right across the street practically and I even have to do a little bit of navigating out of my way in and out of my house all the time now no matter which direction I'm going. It just takes a little bit of practice after a couple times it's a piece of cake. I just realized that if it were me going there for the first time I would think maybe it wasn't worth it trying to get into that strip mall but it's no different than it's ever been with their left turn for the businesses like all business strip malls do everywhere... it's just intimidating and a little confusing at first but not really that bad.... My point of all of this is don't let the construction for who knows how long it's going to last that has been needed for so long anyway keep you from checking out AJ's smoke shop on the Southeast corner of signal Butte and Apache trail just because of the construction. They deserve all the business of all the smoke shops in this area as far as I'm concerned and I hope their business grows and they stay here unlike a lot of businesses that haven't made it around here in the 20 years I've lived in this same park right across the street. I sincerely hope my review helps you Ron, because I really liked our first visit when I came and I really want a lot of people to check you out. I'm already spreading it around to everybody I know, so I hope that helps you out too. Be seeing you soon, Susan Micucci

I really like AJ Smoke Shop. It is conveniently located right off Apache Trail and Signal Butte. They have great prices and a big selection of everything you could want for your smoking needs. Ron knows customer service. He is very friendly and very helpful. I also appreciate the safety measures that they put in place during Covid. Bring your business here and help to support locally owned business.

Seemed irritated that I only bought candy off the table and that I asked for a receipt. Annoying
