CTC Camden

CTC Camden in New South Wales has become quite the fixture in the local tobacco retail scene. They’re open bright and early on weekdays from 7am to 5:30pm, with slightly shorter hours on weekends – starting at 8:30am and closing at 4:30pm Saturdays and 2:30pm Sundays, so you can pop in whenever suits.

The shop stocks all your typical tobacconist essentials, and visitors say they maintain a decent supply of named brands. When it comes to prices, they seem to position themselves as a budget-friendly option, though some customers reckon this might affect product consistency. One regular mentioned paying around $14 for cigarettes, noting you get what you pay for at these lower price points.

The customer service here is a bit of a mixed bag, though mostly positive. Heaps of regulars swear by the friendly atmosphere, with one visitor who’s been coming for three years saying they always feel welcome. The staff apparently enjoy a quick chat and treat many customers like family. Mind you, there have been a few grumbles about service occasionally being a bit off, but that’s pretty standard for any retail shop, isn’t it?

You can pay by card, EFTPOS, or cash, which makes things convenient no matter how you prefer to handle your money. The shop itself is straightforward and functional – nothing fancy, but it does the job. One bloke even called it “the best tobacco shop in Australia,” though that might be taking it a bit far! It’s the kind of place where you can duck in, grab what you need, maybe have a quick yarn with the staff, and be on your way.

While some customers have raised eyebrows about product consistency, others reckon it’s still their go-to spot for tobacco needs in Camden. Just remember, like any shop, experiences can vary, but most visitors seem to leave happy enough with their purchases and the service they receive.
