Malcomx Tobacconist and Gifts

Malcomx Tobacconist & Gifts in Wynnum, Queensland is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to local tobacco shops. The store stocks your typical tobacconist fare – cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays, and pipes – though we’ve heard they don’t carry roll-your-own tobacco, which might be a dealbreaker for some customers.

The pricing situation here is interesting. Some visitors reckon they get ripper deals, especially from one of the staff members who’s known for offering good prices. But there have been a few worrying stories about inconsistent pricing and even concerns about product authenticity, so you might want to double-check what you’re getting.

When it comes to customer service, it’s a bit like rolling the dice. Some folks rave about friendly, helpful staff who really know their stuff and go the extra mile. Others… well, not so much. Seems like your experience might depend on which staff member you get on the day. The shorter bloke (probably the owner) gets heaps of praise for being sweet and helpful, while some customers have had less pleasant encounters with other staff members.

The shop keeps long hours, which is pretty convenient – they’re open from 7 in the morning until 8 at night, seven days a week. Just remember to bring cash with you, as they don’t take cards. No worries if you forget though, there’s usually an ATM nearby.

Look, it’s not the biggest tobacco shop you’ll ever see, but they’ve got the basics covered with their selection of cigarettes and smoking accessories. Some regulars swear by the place and keep coming back, while others reckon it’s worth shopping around. Might be worth popping in yourself to see how you go.
