Free Choice Tobacconist Maryborough

Free Choice Tobacconist Maryborough is your typical local smoke shop, but with a bit of a twist. What makes this place different from your run-of-the-mill tobacconist is their surprisingly decent range of gifts alongside the usual tobacco products. We’ve heard from quite a few visitors that if you’re scratching your head for pressie ideas, you might want to give this place a look.

The shop stocks all your standard tobacco needs – your durries, papers, and lighters – but they’ve branched out a fair bit. Some regulars reckon the gift selection is pretty good, which is handy if you’re after something a bit different. Just keep in mind there’s a $5 surcharge if you’re paying by card, so maybe bring some cash along to avoid that extra cost. They accept both EFTPOS and cash payments.

When it comes to service, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Some visitors rave about the staff being super helpful and friendly, while others reckon the customer service could use a bit of work. A few customers have mentioned that even regular visitors sometimes get treated like they’re walking in for the first time, which can be a bit off-putting.

The shop keeps pretty decent hours for a local business. They’re open Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm (though they stay open till 7pm on Thursdays), Saturdays from 8am to 5pm, and even squeeze in some Sunday trading from 9am to 2pm. So you’ve got plenty of time to pop in, whether you’re after some smokes or browsing their gift selection.

Look, it might not be the fanciest tobacconist you’ll ever visit, but it does the job. Just remember to factor in that card surcharge if you’re not carrying cash, and maybe don’t expect the red carpet treatment every time you walk in. Still, it’s a convenient spot for your tobacco needs, and who knows? You might even find a decent gift while you’re there.
