CTC Fitzroy

CTC Fitzroy in Fitzroy, Victoria is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to your local tobacconist needs. You’ll find them open pretty much all day, kicking off at 8am during the week and staying open late until 10:30pm, with even longer hours on Friday and Saturday nights when they’re running until midnight. If you’re planning a Sunday visit, they open a touch later at 9am.

The shop stocks your typical tobacconist fare like cigarettes and cigars, and visitors say the staff really know their stuff when it comes to tobacco products. One regular customer mentioned how the gentleman behind the counter always has solid recommendations for pairing cigars with drinks, which is a nice touch if you’re into that sort of thing. The place is kept pretty spick and span too, with some folks saying it’s one of the tidiest shops they’ve seen in the area.

When it comes to prices, well, that’s where things get a bit interesting. Some reckon they’ve found the cheapest cigarettes in the area here, while others reckon they’ve been stung with higher prices than expected. Might be worth doing a bit of price comparison if you’re watching your wallet.

The customer service seems to be a bit hit and miss. Some visitors rave about the friendly, knowledgeable staff who go above and beyond to help out. Others… not so much. We’ve heard stories about staff being super helpful and remembering regular customers, but also some complaints about attitude problems and early closing times. You know how it goes sometimes.

For your convenience, they accept all the usual payment methods including EFTPOS, cards, and cash. The shop maintains a clean, organized setup, which makes finding what you need pretty straightforward. Whether you’re after a quick pack of durries or looking to chat about cigars, you’ll find what you need here, just maybe catch them on a good day.
