3427 Merle Hay Rd, Des Moines“I enjoy the 2 ladies and the few men I always get to bump into while shopping at ruckus. I love the new locations and I love the new hours. Reasonable for everyone. Respectful group and awesome awareness everytime I go. I be saving my points don't know how our when to use them. But I'm going to keep collecting them so I can get this one thing from there I've always wanted. Lol good people don't ever leave us. See you guys soon”
“I don't smoke but I go in for my brother all the time. They are very quiet guys but very friendly and professional. Better prices on some of the cigarettes and cigarette making supplies.”
“The pricing and atmosphere is amazing. The friendly approach that the workers have and well knowledgeable workers ar helpful to understand the products and I couldn't ask for more.”

2300 University Ave, Des Moines“Bonzie and Bailey were incredibly professional and wanted nothing more than to show my friend and I anything we had questions about. THEY ARE AWESOME! The shop itself is spectacular and has a really classy gallery vibe. Serious Kudos the new owners and staff!”
“I’ve been a customer for awhile now and usually only stop in to purchase a lighter. The people working have always been kind, helpful, and not pushy. But, tonight I stopped in at 11pm looking for a lighter. I didn’t have my card on me and asked the gentleman if I could use apple pay. He told me there was a $2 card minimum- understandable. I told him I’ll just buy two lighters but he insisted it was ok and gave me the lighter free of charge. I appreciate his small gesture and kindness. The definition of “Iowa nice”. I’ll be back.. and with an extra dollar for the tip jar!”
“Best tobacco store I've ever visited. I've been smoking for about 45 years so it means alot. Always have my brand. Excellent prices. Top of the line staff. I highly recommend this place”

3725 1/2, 3725 Hubbell Ave, Des Moines“my fav place to go for anything smokes! the girls are so welcoming & always willing to help with a smile on their face. always felt welcomed here no matter what!”
“This place has it all!! Experience, selection, customer service, cleanliness, selection, knowledge, they have helped me so much with my choices and guiding me I to selections based off the information I give them! … did I mention the selection best selection in Iowa by far!!”
“Not only were they open like 10 minutes early, I went in there for kratom and I told the guy how much I had and he basically gave me something that was worth twice the amount of money, and even spotting me something to change that it would have cost in the giving me what I had and what it cost after he gave me a discount. Very personable staff, I forgot how great they are but I will be back more often than I have been in recent days”
“I have been coming to this store since moving back from Texas 9 years ago. Never ever have i excperienced a negative response. There always friendly with a smile and Kat is a doll.”
“Their cigar selection is not humidity controlled. The one I got was dry. I told them they needed to get a humidifier in the box to save their cigar from falling apart”
“They have great prices! Staff is friendly and helpful. I wish they had extended hours as they close at 10pm and sometimes I’m forced to go elsewhere but if I can make it, I’ll go here 1st before any other convenient store around”
“Not recommended fish game tables. They arent even fun to play most of the time, just hurry and take your money. Cheap cigarettes! Open at 9, til midnight, so great hours for the most part. Good variety of things you need on the fly that most places won't have. All in all, it's a convenient store for alcohol and all smoke related needs.”
“Great customer service, good selection with a range of prices. Plus I love how they have tags on everything that show pricing thresholds, so stuff that looks really expensive that you'd normally ignore you can easily see if it's in budget before even seeing price tag.”
“I prefer this location over the others. It is more casual and they have kratom in stock more frequently than the others. The workers are better here too. Not a fan of the West location though it is more convenient than having to go into the mall. When I do come here I like to come through Target and find it more convenient than coming in through the Mall's main entrance.”
“My husband and I stop at this store whenever we're in town. It is basically a smoke shop with a few snacks and drinks. Their selection of water pipes, ecigs, and lighters is great. They are always adding new items. It is a family owned business, and they are all super nice and friendly. Their prices are a little lower than average on most things.”
“This is an actually nice place to buy for lots of good stuffs such as cigarettes are cheaper than the other places I went, they have really good brand vapes, vangs are really great. They also have this “fish game” it’s a store credit. Very fresh and clean inside and the staffs are really nice.”
Open 24 hours
4001 SW 9th St, Des Moines“Fishing is par. They have cigs for under 5 bucks still... Can't complain about that...always open too. Still all good. Yes they have gas and bathrooms as well... Open 24 hours a day. No fishing gear actually required.... Ha”
“I went here for kratom on Sunday because no one else was open. Anyways, smokin joes was open about 3 hours earlier than anyone else.
The woman working behind the counter was extremely pleasant and very helpful. I’ll be going back to smokin joes based on this interaction alone.”
7AM - 11PM
2800 E University Ave, Des Moines“I visit here at least weekly. Competitive prices and a good selection. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable about the growing vape and smokeless tobacco products and merchandise. The current store manager Ginger is awesome and the store is always very clean with a good layout. The only thing I can say needs improvement is it takes a significantly longer amount of time to get in and out than It does at either of the other two tobacco stores that are right next door and across the street.”
“Best shop boom boom is the guy lot of experience lots of food catering and vapes all types of product fully stocked love you guys good store this is my people they are #1 come check them out today ♥️”
