MandS Tobacconist

M&S Tobacconist in Penrith, New South Wales is your typical local smoke shop, stocking all the usual suspects like cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters. The shop maintains consistently long hours throughout the week, opening bright and early at 7am Monday through Friday, and at 8am on weekends. They keep the lights on until 9pm most nights, with a bit of extra time on Fridays and Saturdays when they close at 9:30pm, while Sundays they wrap up at 8pm.

The shop itself is kept nice and tidy, with visitors often commenting on how clean and well-maintained the space is. The atmosphere gets a fair few nods too, with some regulars describing it as calming and welcoming. When it comes to service, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag if we’re being honest. Some customers reckon they’ve had absolutely ripper experiences with certain staff members (particularly the Aussie girl who gets heaps of praise), while others haven’t been quite so chuffed with their interactions.

Price-wise, it’s been a bit of a talking point among customers. Some visitors swear by their “lovely” prices, saying they’re among the most decent in Penrith. Though, fair warning, we’ve heard that prices might wobble a bit depending on who’s behind the counter that day. It’s probably worth checking the price of what you’re after when you pop in, just to avoid any surprises.

The shop accepts all the usual payment methods including EFTPOS, cards, and cash, so you won’t need to make a special trip to the ATM. Look, it might not be perfect, but for many locals, it’s still their go-to spot for tobacco supplies, especially given those convenient trading hours. Just keep in mind that like any shop, your experience might vary a bit depending on when you visit and who’s working that day.
