Head Shop? No, not that kind of head! Cigarillos
If you are looking for a head shop you can always go down to the west village on 6th ave and 4th st. There are tons to choose from in between all the crappy tattoo joints around those blocks. But if you are looking for the best head shop, then I would head down to Soho to 191 Spring St. between Sullivan and Thompson to a place called Cigarillos. Cigarillos is the sister shop to the flagship store, Shisha International which is located on 171 W. 4th St and 6th ave. Both great spots. The Soho store is obviously a lot nicer and has a better selection of items.

This is a great place to come for gifts. Especially for all of your cigar smokin buddies. They have high quality cigars and everything you need from cutters, lighters, humidors and ash-trays. They carry the highest quality brands like Savoy and Kito humidors and other items that are not easily found. They even sell Dupont Lighters, which are definitely one of the best lighters ever made. Well most expensive at least. They of course have your usual selection of drug paraphernalia like pipes, dugouts and bullets. Along with the largest rolling paper selection I have ever seen. (I am talking hundreds) This is also one of the few places that sell the Volcano Vaporizer, which won "best vaporizer" in the Cannabis Cup. This spot is also "the place" to go for all of your Hookah materials. I am telling you they pretty much have everything! Go by and check it out. Talk to Ronnie. Super friendly and knows everything!
Wow, this makes me nostalgic. My dad was a big cigar smoker, and I have very fond memories of going to cigar stores with him. I never smoked them myself, but I've always loved all the paraphernalia around them and the smells.
And I still treasure some of the cigar boxes we had around the house, with their beautiful graphics. When I was a kid, all my pencil boxes were recycled cigar boxes.
Oh, in case you're wondering ... I found you via a search for Volcano vaporizers. I've been looking around, and it's a great blog; I'd like to try that "to die for" gyro stand next time I'm in NY. And I promise not to cut in line!
