About us

Thirty years ago, our company opened its first location, Island Tobacco, in a modest 1,000-square-foot space in Nags Head, North Carolina. Since then, we’ve grown into a trusted name in the industry with four stores across two states and plans for further expansion.

What started as a small corner shop has become the Outer Banks’ favorite destination for tobacco, cigars, and smoking accessories. We take pride in offering a unique shopping experience that reflects our dedication to quality and community.

We are the largest supplier of cigars in the Outer Banks, catering to both locals and visitors. Our walk-in humidor is a masterpiece, housing an unparalleled selection of premium cigars, including Cohiba, Ashton, Rocky Patel, Gurkha, Padron and flavored cigars like Drew Estates, Tatianas, and CAO.

With eleven custom-built humidors, we ensure every cigar is stored in peak condition, offering the perfect choice for every occasion—from fishing tournaments and bike week to weddings and casual celebrations.

Discover why Island Tobacco has been a trusted name in the Outer Banks for over three decades. Stop by our Nags Head location to browse our selection, chat with our knowledgeable staff, and experience the difference of a truly community-focused smoke shop.
