TSG Silkstone

TSG Silkstone in QLD is your typical local tobacconist, but with a few quirks worth mentioning. The shop’s got a pretty decent setup, with visitors noting they carry a large range of ancillary products alongside the usual cigarettes, rolling papers, and lighters you’d expect to find at any tobacco shop.

When it comes to pricing, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag from what we’ve heard. Some reckon they offer good value, while others have had less than stellar experiences with pricing transparency. Like anything, it might pay to double-check the prices when you’re at the counter.

The customer service situation is interesting, to say the least. Most folks who pop in speak highly of the two blokes working there, saying they’re friendly and always up for a chat. But fair warning: we’ve heard a few stories about one of the female staff members being a bit short with customers. You know how it goes sometimes – might just catch someone on an off day.

They’re pretty generous with their trading hours, which is handy if you’re someone who likes to duck in after work. They’re open from 8 in the morning till 6 at night Monday through Friday, except Thursday when they stay open till 7. Weekends are slightly different – they open at 9 and close at 6 on Saturday, while Sunday they wrap up just before 6.

The shop accepts all the usual payment methods – cards, EFTPOS, and cash – so you won’t need to make a special trip to the ATM. It’s your standard suburban tobacconist really, just with its own personality quirks like any local shop. Might be worth popping in during one of the quieter times if you’re after a bit of friendly service and don’t mind having a browse through their selection.
