Newsquest publish Bolton's main local newspaper, The Bolton News…read more The Bolton News used to be known as the Bolton Evening News; it's a newspaper with a proud history as it was one of Britain's very first local evening papers. Indeed The Bolton News is still affectionately known as the BEN in some quarters. As a local newspaper I would rate it quite highly. It can still sensationalise a little too much, but there is some good journalism there and its coverage of Bolton Wanderers, the town's Premier League football team (for now!), is excellent. Newsquest publish some other titles, including some freebies such as the Bolton Journal (which is of course mainly adverts). If you're in Bolton, The Bolton News reamins a good way of finding out what's going on locally.

Like all good newsagents, they also have loads of sweets, crisps and magazines to tempt you in to parting with your precious pennies. They also sell international phone cards here - always cheaper calling Dubai via one of these than directly from your landline. The man serving in News Box is friendly too.

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.
