Cignall Tobacconist Thornbury

Cignall Tobacconist Thornbury in Victoria is your typical neighborhood smoke shop, open seven days a week from early morning till 7pm, which is pretty convenient if you ask me. They’ve got the usual suspects you’d expect from a tobacconist: cigarettes, rolling papers, lighters, and they do stock cigars too, though we’ve heard there might be some issues with their cigar packaging from time to time.

The shop’s got a bit of a mixed reputation when it comes to customer service. Some visitors reckon the staff are absolute legends, really helpful and friendly. Y’know, the kind of people who’ll actually take the time to help you find what you’re after. But fair warning, others have had some not-so-great experiences, so your mileage might vary depending on who’s behind the counter that day.

Price-wise, most regulars seem pretty chuffed with what they’re charging. We’ve heard from quite a few visitors that the prices are competitive, which is always good news for your wallet. The store takes all sorts of payment methods too, so you won’t need to worry about making a dash to the ATM before popping in.

One thing to note though, if you’re after single items, you might want to try somewhere else as they don’t typically sell singles. It’s more of a bulk purchase kind of place. While the store stocks all your typical tobacco products, some customers have mentioned issues with product availability and packaging, so it might be worth double-checking what you’re buying before leaving the store.

The shop’s got its ups and downs, but it’s managed to become a regular stop for many locals. Just remember to check your purchases before heading out, especially if you’re buying something special like cigars. And if you’re planning to visit, those extended trading hours mean you can pop in pretty much any time during the day, which is pretty handy if you’re working odd hours or need to grab something on the weekend.
