Both were very strong tasting whiskeys although I felt the Berry Bros was slightly smoother with a better aroma. This shop has a large humidor with a good selection of fine cigars and accessories.

A display of classic smoking pipes were affixed to the wall across from the massive whiskey bottle inventory and sitting lounge.

I was on a food and drink tour that explained two of their whiskeys which were around 90 proof. They literally smelled like rubbing alcohol but tasted decent. This shop also had a humidor with an excellent selection of cigars. This was a great experience.

What gives Robert Graham's new Cigar Store an edge over other cigar stores in the city is simple:…read moretheir passion for all things Cuban. Alongside well known cigar brands like Cohiba, Partagas and Romeo y Julieta, they stock beautiful, limited edition boxes of 10 and 25 Montecristo Edmundo, Bolivar Petit Belicosos, Juan Lopez Seleccion Suprema and El Rey del Mundo Choix de L Epoque. To compliment the smokes, they also have a small selection of Cristal and Cubanero Fuerte beer, Havana Club rum and Mojito mixers. The thing that makes me adore the store however, is the fab cigar box guitar in the window. A homage to blues guitars like Muddy Waters, Son House and Carl Perkins, its made from empty cigar boxes, beer tops, baling wire and tins.

It all just feels a bit sad and depressing when you walk in, like an underground den for those who are on the cusk of being a badass. They also sell 'legal highs' at extornionate prices. Things like fake magic mushrooms which are merely sneered at by any serious drug users. The guy who owns it is pleasant enough and is well aware of of how to use all the stock which he sells. It's not my kind of shop, but if you're looking for some plant feeder for your illegal crop of pot and need a new pipe to smoke it with, this is the place.

It stocks a wide selection of smokers' requisites, discounted rolling trays, hookahs and the like. You can come here for all of your shisha needs, and the staff a re knowledgeable and friendly. Just don't expect this shop to be open during normal business hours. It seems to be a case of 'open when we feel like coming in', as with all places like this.

I have some sort of messed up metabolism and need to eat about every 30 minutes. I don't like eating a lot of snacks and junk food so having a purveyor of some healthier alternative (a rare find) on my route is great. On my visits I would buy from their great selection of cereal and smoothie bars to fulfil my calorie needs. Having said this The Paper Rack does have a good selection of snacks and junk food as well as (for some reason) decent quality tinned biscuits. As has already been mentioned they also have a good selection of papers and magazines, a must for all newsagents. The staff serving me were always on the phone but managed to still be perfectly pleasant. They seemed to charge me something different every time for the same item, but it was always cheaper than the other nearby newsagent.

With a selection of mags that almost rivals International Newsagents down the road, minus the foreign ones, it's very well stocked, and they also sell the fantastic Brannigan's crisps, the king of potato snacks and often annoyingly awkward to find.

We got the pleasure of having a private tasting of the five barrel whiskeys and a brief education which included: 1. Mannochmore 46% 2. The Secret Lowland 43% 3. Teaninich 46% 4. The Secret Speyside 46% 5. Bunnahabhain Moine 46% The shop reminded me of a chemistry lab in a post apocaclyptic world, and thats a good thing. Definitely going to grab a small bottle 20£ of the Teaninich which tasted the best with notes of caramel, toasted oats and cinnamon.

If you are a connoisseur of the scotch ( Scottish whisky) but don't really have the time to travel to the countless of distilleries located all over the country then this is the place for you. Even though whisky is not really my drink, I was very impressed with the selection of whiskies at this shop and the friendliness of the shop owners to my lack of knowledge. There are also some cool little gifts, including whisky flavoured fudge and cool little bottles of your favourite alcohol (including gins and vodkas). Prices are a bit high-like in most of these places and for the fact it's at a popular tourist street. I still like it though and my scotch-loving friends can spend hours in here.
