I love this place. It's about as central as you can get - right opposite the Bank of England - and…read moreit's great to know there's some small and civilised antidote to the life-sapping Costa-fuelled soullessness of the commuter trudge. Should satisfy any discerning smoker's every need. It's a tiny little place but has a big stock, and the owner is really friendly and helpful. Everything from Indonesian clove cigarettes to Gitanes to snuff to cigar- and pipe-related stuff I know next to nothing about can be had. And they sell handy flip-top portable ashtrays with their name on them, which is dead convenient if you can't find any of those "gum and butts" things, which you don't want to go near anyway, if you can possibly help it. Go try.

Situated on the busy road leading to the train station from the clock tower (so busy I struggled to…read moreget a clear view of the place for the photo), Smoker's Heaven is a very small news agent with little traditional stock, favouring smoking paraphernalia along with a wide selection of legal drugs. I've been here a couple of times now, firstly to buy a sexy zippo for my friends 21st, and secondly to get an electric grinder (they do exist) as a favour to a friend. On the whole, stff is pretty reasonably priced, but I can imagine people spending more than they intend, what with the bob Marley smoking papers on the counter. I've had one friend say that their exotic purchases were a waste of money, and another say they took along time to kick in, but were very powerful. Neither of them said they'd do it again, but neither wish they hadn't as they had fun anyway. I like the guy that works here, who's always been helpful and friendly, and I'd have to agree with the others in saying that if you want a specialist tobacconist, this should be your greatest consideration.

I was refered across the street at Vapurz that they'd have vape pens since they were all out. I…read morewent to Smokers Heaven, masked up, by the way.... Smokers Heaven introduced me to all their vape pens before asking for my ID.... which I left at my apartment....I look well over 21....i hate to throw myself under the bus like that....I then attempted the: 'I was referred by Johnny from Vapurz across the streets.' The guy just stared at me lik er it was a meaningles phrase. What an ackward encounter.... im going to buy my vape pens strictly online from now on... the people are dollar signs too each other here... ....

Great selection of high end Cubans. And assorted other premium. (Oliva) Smaller humidor but very…read morewell stocked. Have collection of pipes, lighters, chocolates, and gifts as well. I dropped it to three stars mainly because I took the bus out to Teddington to use their sampling lounge. Upon arrival the very nice employees made it very clear that you cannot sample in the building any longer - sounded like it's been like that since 2020. So three stars for the selection and hospitality. I'm not going to say Yelp had false advertising - I should've called before I went.

This is an outstanding cigar store. Ask about the smoking lounge downstairs. On Thursday evenings…read morethey are open until midnight with a smoker, it's BYOB for which you pay a £10 fee. Beautiful large leather chairs, very comfortable. The best collection of Cuban cigars found almost anywhere. Worth finding this shop and sampling their collection.

I have been a customer off and on for over thirty years, well before the current owners took over…read more It has always been a landmark. However, I was very disappointed the other day when the assistant was so rude in front of other people when she was closing down the shop and refused to sell me a newspaper. There was no need for such behaviour and I shall certainly not go in there again. Not a good advertisement for the town.

This Dunhill tobacco store is a gorgeous place and contains a beautifully stocked humidor. They…read morecarry all of the old standard Habanos as well as a good selection of more exotic cigars. I was able to pick up a couple of single Montecristo 80th Anniversarios to sample to see if I wanted commit to a full box. Prices are typically U.K. expensive at £60 per stick but service and storage were excellent. Overall a very good tobacconist.
