Tobacconist Mawson

Tobacconist Mawson in Mawson, Australian Capital Territory is your typical local smoke shop, stocking all the essentials like cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters. Like most shops in the area, they’re open pretty much all week, from 9 in the morning until 6 at night Monday through Thursday, staying open a bit later until 7 on Fridays. They keep weekend hours too, running 9 to 6 on Saturdays and 10 to 4 on Sundays for those Sunday arvo tobacco runs.

Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you about this one. The feedback we’ve heard about this place has been a bit of a mixed bag, especially when it comes to prices. Some visitors reckon they’ve scored some good deals here, while others reckon the prices are a bit steep compared to other shops in the area. Had one bloke tell me he thought the tobacco quality was pretty decent, though.

The customer service seems to be hit or miss, if I’m being honest. While some customers have had positive experiences, calling the staff “top blokes,” others haven’t been quite so lucky. We’ve heard a few stories about less-than-friendly encounters with the staff, which is a bit of a shame.

For your convenience, they take all sorts of payments – EFTPOS, cards, and good old-fashioned cash. It’s not one of those cash-only joints you sometimes run into. If you’re in the Mawson area and need to stock up on your smoking supplies, this place might be worth checking out, but you might want to compare prices with other local shops first. Fair dinkum, it’s not the worst option around, but it’s not exactly winning any customer service awards either.
