Kimson Tobacconist

Kimson Tobacconist in Newtown, NSW is one of those local gems where you’ll find yourself coming back time and time again. The store keeps regular hours through the week, opening from 9 in the morning until 6 at night, and they’re open Saturdays too from 10 to 5, though they take Sundays off for a well-deserved break.

What really sets this place apart is the friendly service you get when you walk through the door. We’ve heard from plenty of visitors who reckon the owner’s a real beaut, always ready with a smile and happy to help you find exactly what you’re after. Just the other day, someone was telling me how the owner went above and beyond to make sure they got sorted with exactly what they needed.

Like any good tobacconist, they’ve got all your smoking essentials covered – cigarettes, rolling papers, lighters, and all that jazz. The shop’s got that classic tobacconist feel about it, you know the type, where everything’s neatly arranged and easy to find. You can pay however you like here – they take cards, EFTPOS, or cash, so no worries there.

It’s one of those places that feels properly local, where you’re treated more like a mate than just another customer. The store might not be the biggest in town, but it’s got character, and sometimes that’s what matters most. If you’re in Newtown and need to stock up on your smoking supplies, you’d be hard pressed to find a friendlier spot than Kimson’s.
