Pipe Cigar and Gifts Tobacconist

Pipe, Cigar & Gifts Tobacconist in Brisbane City is a bit of a mixed bag, really. The shop itself is quite lovely to look at, with a clean and pleasant atmosphere that makes browsing their selection quite enjoyable. They’ve got a decent range of shishas and smoking accessories, though some visitors mention the pipe tobacco selection is pretty limited and mainly Chinese-branded stuff.

When it comes to cigars, they stock quite a few options including some premium brands like Romeo Y Julieta and Rocky Patel Disciple. But here’s the thing about their prices – they’re definitely on the steeper side. We’ve heard from quite a few customers that their cigar prices in particular can be significantly higher than other shops in the Brisbane CBD. For example, some cigars that go for around $36-49 elsewhere might set you back $54-140 here. Though interestingly, some visitors reckon they’ve got good deals on regular smokes and tobacco.

The service is generally pretty good, with most staff being friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Most visitors say they’ve had positive experiences with helpful, professional staff who aren’t pushy when you’re browsing. Though there have been a few hiccups – like some customers mentioning they couldn’t view certain products unless the owner was present after 3pm, which can be a bit of a pain if you’re traveling from far away.

They’re open nice and early on weekdays, starting at 7am and staying open until midnight. Weekend hours are a bit shorter, running from 9am to midnight. They take all sorts of payment methods including EFTPOS, cards, and cash, so you won’t have any drama there.

Look, if you’re after some basic smoking supplies or don’t mind paying a premium for your cigars, this place might do the trick. The store’s clean, the staff are generally friendly, and they’ve got most of the basics covered. Just keep in mind you might find better prices for premium items at other shops in the CBD.
