Tobacco Station Ultimo

Tobacco Station Ultimo in New South Wales is your typical local tobacconist, though experiences there can be a bit hit-or-miss. They’ve got a decent range of products, with visitors saying you can find your usual cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters, plus they even stock bottled water if you’re feeling parched.

The store keeps pretty flexible hours throughout the week. They’re open every day, which is handy, with longer trading hours on Thursdays and Fridays when they stay open until 8pm. Most other days they’re open from 9am to 5pm, except Tuesday when they start a bit earlier at 8:30am. Good to know if you’re planning to duck in after work.

When it comes to customer service, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Some visitors reckon they’ve had ripper experiences, with one bloke particularly chuffed about a young staff member who was both friendly and knew his stuff. But fair dinkum, others haven’t been so lucky, reporting some not-so-stellar interactions with the staff. Might depend on who’s behind the counter on any given day.

For your convenience, they accept all the usual payment methods including EFTPOS, cards, and cash. The shop itself is pretty straightforward – nothing too fancy, but it does the job. Some regulars pop in just for their bottled water, saying it’s better value than the vending machines nearby, which gives you an idea of the casual, convenient nature of the place.

Like most tobacconists, they stock all your standard smoking essentials. A few visitors have mentioned the range is good, and while some reckon the prices might be on the higher side compared to supermarkets, that’s pretty standard for specialist tobacco shops. It’s one of those places that’ll sort you out when you need something specific, even if it’s not always the cheapest option in town.
