Cignall Cranbourne

Cignall Cranbourne in Cranbourne North, Victoria is your classic local tobacconist with a bit of everything thrown in. You’ll find them tucked away in Thompson Park, where they’ve been keeping the locals sorted for years now. The shop’s open from around 9:10 in the morning until about 7:20 at night on Thursdays and Fridays, and until 6:50pm the rest of the week, including weekends, so there’s plenty of time to pop in.

What makes this place a bit special is they’re not just your run-of-the-mill smoke shop. Sure, they’ve got all your usual tobacco products and smoking accessories at reasonable prices, but they’ve also got this ripper collection of other stuff that might catch your eye. We’ve heard from regular visitors that they stock a beauty of a range of gift items – everything from fancy cards and wrapping paper to invitations. And if you’re after something sweet, they’ve even got lollies and those nostalgic Pez dispensers that bring back childhood memories.

The staff are generally friendly and helpful, greeting customers with a smile and providing good service. You can sort out your payment however you like – they take EFTPOS, cards, and cash, so no worries there. Their collection of knick-knacks is pretty impressive too, with everything from sunglasses to mobile accessories, and even cold drinks if you’re feeling parched.

What’s nice about this place is how they’ve managed to be more than just a tobacconist. It’s one of those shops where you might pop in for one thing and end up browsing through their collection of stickers or gift cards. Regular customers reckon the prices are pretty reasonable across the board, which is always good to hear. Some days you’ll find yourself having a yarn with the staff while picking out a birthday card, other times you might be in and out quick smart with just what you need.
