New to X Rated, or new to smoke shops in general? Here’s what a first visit looks like.

Ask for help

Not sure what you want? Take the Smoke Sommelier quiz before you come in, or tell the crew what you like. We’ll set up devices, match replacement glass parts and walk you through cutting and lighting a cigar.

Rewards

Ask to join X Rated Rewards on your first purchase. You earn a point per dollar, and 100 points is $5 off.

Special orders

Looking for something we don’t stock? Use the special order form or ask at the counter. We’ll check whether it’s available and legal to sell in California.

Questions the crew can answer

  • Which grinder or torch fits how you use it
  • Which joint size your glass needs
  • How strong a cigar is and how long it smokes
  • How to set up a hookah or season a humidor
  • Which vape products are legal to sell in California

Buying glass

Look over any glass at the counter before you leave so we can make sure it’s perfect. Ask us to wrap it for the trip home.
