That's certainly what it looks like from the outside. And it does sell all of those things. But what it also does is tobacco. So what I'm talking about is cigars. In fact a couple of cabinets full of the things, with a wide range of types. They also sell tobacco, in flavours such as apple, banana and toffee, all weighed out to the amount you would like. They also sell paraphernalia like pipes and lighters. The guy serving is nice enough too. What Mirage News is really great for is its tobacco though.

But for the 5 mins I was in here it definitely seemed to be busy enough with fans of the old brown weed. Needing to pop in and buy some Havana cigars for our friends wedding, the staff were very helpful, knowledgable and friendly - helping me choose the 3 pack of Bolivar's (£48 for 3) that went down a treat once all the service and speeches were complete. Personally myself, I have no probs with people choosing what they do with their life and bodies as long as they're not blowing smoke in mine or my kids face and these sorts of places used to maybe be ten a penny back in the old days, but it's nice to see something so traditional as a classic, artisan tobacconist on the high street still. When the next big wedding is on, I'll now know where to go to get my zig-a-zig'ar on!

You can imagine my joy when I saw this shop, and imagined myself redeeming my Euros against a large pile of newspapers, fizzy pop and sweets. It was terrible news then, when I discovered that you are expected to pay in British Sterling. Jokes aside, it's a good little newsagents. Especially worth a look at is all the Haribo style sweets, that are not Haribo branded, but taste the same, and are about half the price. The selection is great. Plus its got some strange random items that tourists might be interested in. This is just speculation though, as I don't know any tourists.

Situated handily enough amidst Liverpool's office blocks for those who might fancy a quick chuff on something a bit more exotic than a Lambert silver, Turmeaus is also near some very good restaurants in case you fancy having a good Havanna after a slap up meal - or open at 8am you can get your nicotine fix if the idea of work is a bit too much for you!

However, if you looked at the shop front, you could be forgiven for thinking it was more of a souvenir shop if anything. The windows that can be seen from the outside are packed with various little models and ornaments, including an owl and a deer, somewhat bizarrely. Inside, they also sell various sweets and ice creams that are all perfectly pleasant without setting your pulse racing too much. Basically, it's a bit like a newsagent but replace the large assortment of magazines with a large assortment of souvenirs and models that you don't really want or need but somehow end up buying anyway.

Why E-Cigs Are Better Than Tobacco Cigarettes?…read more Still not convinced that e-cigs are a better alternative to tobacco cigarettes? While more and more users continue to make the switch with each passing month, there are some who don't believe all of the hype surrounding e-cigs. If you're still puffing away on tobacco cigarettes, keep reading to learn the reasons below:- More Flavour Choices With tobacco cigarettes, smokers typically have a small handful of flavour options to choose from, including regular, light, menthol, and a few specialty flavours. E-cigs, on the other hand, have dozens of different flavours. Greater Control over Nicotine Levels Of course, users are also given more control over nicotine levels with e-cigs. If you're trying to reduce or even eliminate your nicotine consumption then you can gradually drop your levels by choosing e-liquid cartridges with smaller concentrations of nicotine. E-liquid is available in a wide variety of nicotine strengths, ranging from 0-18 mg. Doesn't Smell You can always tell if someone's a smoker by the way they smell. Cigarette smoke lingers on the clothes and body but thankfully e-cigs don't suffer from this same problem. Individuals can enjoy the delicious taste of flavoured e-liquid along with the kick of nicotine through the use an e-cig. No More Burn Holes Another tall-tale sign of a smoker is burn holes in their car, furniture, clothes and carpet. It only takes a small burning ember or cherry to permanently damage fabric. Electronic cigarettes, however, eliminate the possibility for burn holes with their smokeless, fire-less technology. Use Them Indoors While certain cities in the U.K. have banned the use of e-cigs indoors, there are still plenty of indoor establishments that are accepting of vapers. Since e-cigs don't create smoke, there's no risk for second-hand smoke. Of course, it's still recommended that you ask for permission before using your e-cig in a restaurant, bar, club or any other indoor establishment.

On a drunken mission to get the bus from Trof to the Roadhouse, Medic Friend and I realised that…read moreneither of us had a lighter. Or fags, for that matter. We stumbled across Premier and were DELIGHTED to find that as well as fags, they sold 'zippo' lighters with sexy-lady decals. That's right, kids, for just £1, you can own a fake zippo with a badly printed vinyl sticker of a woman in a pink bra and knicker set! Woo hoo! Medic Friend and I were suitably excited, and promptly bought the sexy lady lighter, and called her Sue. But then, tragedy struck! When we tried to light up, we discovered the lighter was EMPTY! That's right, it didn't work! Useless! We were upset. Upset because not only did we not have a lighter, but we had also been lied to, and our excitement turned to despair as I popped into Gaffs for matches. OK, so maybe buying a dodgy lighter for a quid isn't all that bad, but you weren't there, man. You weren't there! Premier sells an OK array of booze. The wines are standard corner shop fare; Paul Masson, Blossom Hill, that kind of thing. And the beer selection is good, with many of the beers refrigerated for instant party-readiness. The booze can be on the pricey side sometimes. I'm with Rob on its blandness. The only thing it has going for it atmosphere wise is a sense of being constantly watched by the man behind the counter. To be honest, there's nothing *wrong* with Premier, but it's not got the huge selection of Sainsbury's, or the weird (and annoying) features of Gaffs. It's just a bit nothingy. But useful if novelty lighters are your thing. As for Sue, I believe she still lives with Medic Friend, though I am of course too polite to ask.
