The Royal Smoke Shop: DeRidder, Louisiana, 70634: A Business Review

Not being like any contemporary smoker, myself, I roll my own. Actually, I "stuff" my own, as far as cigarettes go. So, when it comes to being a guy of legal age, and smoking, I can't just stop anywhere, and pick up smokes.

Since I prefer the non-treated kind of tobacco for my own smokes, I can only buy the shredded pipe tobacco and cigarette tubes. It doesn't smoke like pipe tobacco and rolls just as easily. Making my own cigarettes saves me a fortune and in today's market, a carton of smokes under $12 is certainly a better deal. Once you learn how to roll cigs quickly, you'll find not much of a difference in the smoking experience itself.

Up until now, there's only been one location locally, where my sort of smoke was available. But now, with The Royal Smoke Shop open, we consumers get another, dare-I-say-friendlier, choice? The options are much better, any time competition is factored in. Manish runs a nicely-stocked, clean store, and covers pretty much anyone's tobacco needs. Along with your favorite, flavor, he offers a decent selection of drinks, to beat the heat.

Fellow smokers who happen to make it into town, find your way to 219 Washington St., DeRidder, Louisiana, 70634. Call them, during business hours of 7 am to 9 pm, any day but Sunday, at 337-460-7720. As soon as their website is up, we'll share it, here. Hours of availability/convenience 4 out of 5 stars! (5 stars on this would only be possible by opening 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.)

We smokers of the DeRidder, Louisiana area should give Manish, and his crew a chance and bring him our smoking business, once. He'll only be able to offer mail-order to fellow Louisianians, who've confirmed their age, with the company, according to State Law. These folks follow the rules, and I believe customers will find the store "one of the good guys," in the fight against underage smoking. Decency to deal with: 5 out of 5 stars!

Pipe tobacco, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, tobacco plugs, snuff, sodas, cold drinks, next-door-to-Pressly's, and soon-to-be-a-hit, The Royal Smoke Shop offers DeRidder friends to come by and see just how they'll sell themselves, on winning your business. Variety: 4.5 out of 5 stars!
