Cigarette Express

Cigarette Express in Fitzroy, Victoria is one of those friendly local tobacconists where you’ll feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The staff here are absolute legends, always up for a chat and making everyone feel welcome. We’ve heard that the night shift lady in particular is a real gem, going above and beyond to help customers find exactly what they’re after.

What’s nice about this place is that it won’t break the bank. Visitors say the prices are actually pretty reasonable compared to other spots in the area, which is always a bonus when you’re watching your pennies. They’ve got your typical tobacconist supplies – cigarettes, rolling papers, lighters, and all those bits and bobs you’d expect to find.

The shop keeps pretty consistent hours throughout the week, opening their doors at 8:30 in the morning and staying open until 8 at night Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, they open a tad later at 9am but still close at 8pm, which is pretty convenient if you’re not an early riser on weekends. The extended evening hours are particularly handy for those who work during the day.

The store accepts all the usual payment methods including EFTPOS, cards, and cash, so you won’t need to make a special trip to the ATM. What really stands out about this place though is the warm, welcoming atmosphere. One regular customer mentioned they “absolutely love” dropping by, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s got that local corner store vibe where you’re treated more like a friend than just another customer. Whether you’re a regular or just popping in for the first time, you can expect the same friendly service that’s got everyone talking.
