Tobacco Channel

Tobacco Channel sits right in the heart of Melbourne, Victoria, and going by the reviews it’s been winning over a fair few locals, sitting on a tidy 4.8 rating across 45 reviews. It’s a bit of an all-rounder this one – not just your standard tobacco shop, but also a cigar shop, convenience store, gift shop, hookah store and smoke shop all rolled into one. So whether you’re after your usual ciggies, fancy something a bit special, or just need to grab a few bits and bobs, there’s a good chance they’ll have you sorted.

One of the best things about this spot is the hours, which are pretty generous compared to a lot of places. They open up bright and early at 8am Monday through Friday, with the shop running late into the night – until 11pm earlier in the week and right through to midnight on Thursdays and Fridays. On the weekend they have a bit more of a sleep-in, opening at 10am, staying open until midnight on Saturdays and wrapping up at 10pm on Sundays. So if you’re a bit of a night owl or you’ve realised you’re out of smokes after the footy, this is a handy one to remember.

The feedback’s been pretty warm overall. A few folks have kept it short and sweet, calling it a great store with nice ciggies, while one happy customer reckoned the staff were super cute and was rapt with a multi-buy discount on offer – the sort of little bonus that gets people coming back for more. Sure, there was the odd less glowing comment in the mix, but the bulk of the reviews lean positive, which tells you something about the place.

All up, if you’re knocking around Melbourne and need a tobacconist that keeps long hours and stocks a good range from cigars through to everyday convenience items, Tobacco Channel’s well worth a look. Cheers and happy shopping.
