Tobacconist Inala

Tobacconist Inala in Queensland is your typical local smoke shop, stocking all the essentials you’d expect like cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters. The shop has a bit of a mixed reputation in the community, but some visitors reckon it’s worth traveling from other suburbs just for the friendly service you’ll get here.

The staff can be quite chatty when they’re not rushed off their feet, and we’ve heard that some of them really go above and beyond to help customers find what they’re looking for. One bloke mentioned they even helped him with directions, which was a nice touch. That said, experiences seem to vary a fair bit depending on when you visit and who’s working.

They’re open pretty much all week, running from 8am to 7pm Monday through Saturday, and closing just a tad earlier at 6:30pm on Sundays. Pretty convenient hours if you ask me. The shop takes both cash and EFTPOS, though there’s been a bit of drama about their card payment fees. Some customers have mentioned there’s a flat $3 fee for EFTPOS transactions, which has raised a few eyebrows, so you might want to bring cash just to be on the safe side.

The store’s layout is pretty straightforward, and while they mightn’t have the biggest range in Brisbane, they’ve got all your basic tobacco needs covered. Just keep in mind that customer experiences can be hit or miss – some regulars swear by the place and love having a yarn with the staff, while others reckon they’ve had less than stellar visits. Like most things in life, your mileage may vary, but it’s worth giving them a go if you’re in the area and need to stock up on your smoking supplies.
