Everything there is displayed brilliantly, and the Staff were very friendly and helpful, and were very easy to understand. They really know their products!! Vaping is the perfect alternative to cigarette smoking; and way cheaper than the common tobaccos and packaged cigarettes you can buy, saving you loads of cash every time. Vaping is so much better for your health and state of mind, as well your pocket.I used to smoke at least 3 packs a day, and really wish I that there had of been a shop like this around in those days,as it would have been a better alternative to quitting - Using will power, cold turkey withdrawls,and getting itchy patches or elephant sized pills to swallow... thatalways lead to failure and smoking twice as much! Go now and visit the guys at Shoshana,for all of your Vaping needs... I highly recommend you do.

I came to Auckland New Zealand back in 2014 for the world cricket game in Christchurch but had a…read morelayover for few days in Auckland. I stumbled upon this beautiful cigar shop. It was unusual to see that you don't see the cigars displayed anywhere in the store but you pick them out from a list of the companies menu and the they bring them out to you in a tray it must be something that has to do with the local laws against smoking not surprised. I had an awesome time with the lady who ran the store front she was very knowledgeable about her stogies knowledge. The store was very clean and they did offer a huge selection of premium Cuban cigars and accessories. I bought 5 boxes of cigars and she dropped them off at the airport for pickup so I didn't pay any VAT value added tax. I will travel again soon hopefully and will definitely stop here. I never meet such a wonderful helpful and honest people like the people of New Zealand. Cheers

The humidor keeps everything fresh and just-right while circulating such delicious smells around the store that it will make your mouth water.

Become one of the Greats.

It's easy to miss if you're on your way to Pak 'N' Save or grabbing an ice cream from Wendy's; its pretty small. They stock quite a lot here though and to be honest I couldn't tell many of the cigars apart- I just know they could get rather pricey! There were a couple of guys here on the Thursday night that we visited. One actually recognised my partner from the last time he visited (friends always have birthdays so close together) and they had a nice little catch up- bonus points for the good memory! Pretty friendly all round and one even tried to upsell us (it worked). My partner ended up spending a cool $95 for everything and it seemed like a pretty good price. I have to say I had the most fun checking out the cigar cutters and cases, more for the novelty factor but they have some awesome options here. Great, convenient place to grab a cigar for that special occasion and other recreational items!

While it is easy to walk past this store with out paying any real attention to it, inside you can find some great treats. There are plenty of lighters, ash trays and smoking "accessories", even including a small selection of corncob pipes (though you can't get the pipe tobacco there). Now and Then also has some tacky but great macabre gifts, like skeletal ashtrays and skull statuettes. Incense pipes and paraphernalia, this is what we use to have instead of places like the brightly lit Cosmic Corner. This friendly store comes complete with Bob Marley T-shirts and ceramic dragons.

Plus crazy clothing, outrageously funky eye wear. Some select sounds, posters, stickers, lighters, jewellery and accessories. I managed to find a daring pair of glasses and a snappy wild things t shirt on one visit. Although slightly dreamy the staff are helpful and dish out free advice (and stickers) on what is undoubtedly a subjective experience. Open late for all your cosmic needs, check it out and have a happy time.

This is where all those in the know, come to get their rocks off! While the store is small, it definately doesn't skimp on an array of different products, from legal highs to alternative clothing and accessories to random as posters, stickers etc. My brother says that he bought his favourite bong from here if that's useful to you. They also do ticket sales to many mainstream and alternative gigs and festivals happening across New Zealand which is super helpful, and you can access this service online also. Don't expect the staff to be of much use to you however, I'm sure most of them don't even know what year it is.

Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of candles, but the price point on these ones are extreme man. They're like Marilyn Monroe, beautiful and incandescent but they fade fast. I personally wouldn't spend that much moolah on something that temporarily looks good and then carks it. And all that wax everywhere, meh no thanks! They also do signature 'Jo Malone' perfumes in the store as well, which are pricey as well but i am more willing to spend that sort of cash on perfume than candles. My mums signature scent is a Jo Malone one so I usually head in here to restock hers for her to send down to Christchurch.

If you're the kind of person who'll spend $130 on a candle, Jo Malone is going to be your jam. The…read moreplace is full of them. As well as producing expensive, beautiful smelling candles, Jo Malone also does expensive and beautiful smelling fragrances and a tiny range of moisturisers/body creams. This is definitely a place to go for a gift for your mom or your girlfriend or someone who loves candles. The fragrances are unique - lime and basil, for instance - and they are pretty penetrating. I once left my Jo Malone candle on in my lounge when I went out and when I came home 5 hours later, the whole entire house smelled amazing. Ignore the fact that I'm lucky as hell that I didn't burn the bloody place down. Note for people who are into this kind of thing: The packaging is incredible.

Retreat also have their own brand of soy candles that smell amazing, there are 15 scents of which you can buy in jars, tins, votives and tealights. I love the caramel, vanilla and coconut, French pear and fig and melon the most, there is nothing better than having spaces in your house that smell like dessert. One a service note, you are able to get your candle jars refilled by Retreat. They don't even have to be their jars either. The equivalent of a large Ecoya metro jar is $30 to buy and if you want a refill it is only $15, so any jar of yours around that size would be the same which is fantastic. They also have a candle personalisation service which are popular for weddings and dinner parties, they make nice guest gifts. The service here is always friendly too.

I went there recently to buy some candles and walked away with the Coconut Lime soy candles (this was their fragrance of the week and it was a special price) and their French Pear candles. Both just make our place smell divine. The Coconut Lime one reminds me of a pina colada and the French Pear smells almost like a freshly baked apple pie. I bought their pack of 6 tea light candles and the cool thing about them is instead of the holder being metal like normal tea light candles, it's made out of a special polystyrene that doesn't melt under heat. This is very cool because when the soy wax melts the candle becomes transparent and in the dark the whole candle lights up, not just the flame at the top. I love this place, go there, give it a go!
