Smokemart Modbury North East Road

Smokemart Modbury on North East Road in South Australia is your typical local tobacconist, though experiences there can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on when you pop in. You’ll find all your standard smoking essentials here, from ciggies and rolling papers to lighters and whatnot. We’ve heard they’ve got quite a collection of collectables too, which might be worth checking out if you’re into that sort of thing.

The shop runs pretty decent hours, opening bright and early at 8am Monday through Saturday, and staying open until 6pm most days. They even do a late night on Thursdays until 9pm, which is handy if you need to duck in after work. Sundays are a bit more relaxed, running from 10am to 5pm. You can pay however you like here – they take cards, EFTPOS, or good old-fashioned cash.

Now, about the service… well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, if we’re being honest. Some visitors reckon they’ve had absolutely ripper experiences with friendly staff who go above and beyond, while others… not so much. We’ve heard both sides of the story – from folks praising the quick service and friendly smiles to others who’ve had less than stellar encounters. One bloke mentioned getting the wrong tobacco and having a bit of drama sorting it out, which wasn’t ideal.

While the shop itself is pretty straightforward and gets the job done, it might be worth keeping in mind that your experience could vary depending on who’s behind the counter that day. Still, it’s there when you need it, and some regulars swear by the place. Just remember to double-check your purchases before heading out, just to be on the safe side.
