Tobacco City opens in Jamestown

Everyone from cigar connoisseurs to pipe perfectionists can satisfy any tobacco desires at the new Tobacco City in Jamestown.

The tobacco outlet opened on Monday and offers a wide variety of items.

“We have a full line of product from premium cigars to pretty much every cigarette they make,” said Dee Pickering, store manager. “We try to carry a little bit of everything for everybody and our goal is to have the freshest product in town.”

The store features everything from premium cigars to tobacco for hand-rolled cigarettes.

“We have a very wide variety of tobacco for rolling your own cigarettes and we have the best selection of Zippo lighters in town and we carry literally hundreds of cigars and cigarillos,” Pickering said.

Some of those cigarillos, or miniature cigars, include Havana Honeys, Al Capones and a variety of clove tobacco cigars.

Tobacco City already has two Fargo locations and decided it was time to expand into Jamestown.

“They actually had a lot of people in Jamestown saying they wished they were here,” Pickering said. “A lot of people have been going to Fargo to buy our cigars so they did some research and decided to open one up in Jamestown.”

Pickering said there was some concern from people that Tobacco City was a head shop — a retail outlet that specializes in drug paraphernalia for the consumption of marijuana, among other things. She said it’s clearly not a head shop.

Tobacco City carries cigars, cigarettes, pipe tobacco, lighters and other products.

“It’s just hard to explain to somebody (what we have here) we are just wall to wall here, and what we don’t have, if the customer needs it we’ll do our best to get it in,” Pickering said.

Located in the strip mall by Walmart, Tobacco City, 2619 Eighth Ave. SW, is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
