I'm not a smoker as such; I mean I enjoy the occasional cigar with a snifter of port at Christmas…read more Shave and Coster is fantastic for that occasion and I have bought many a cigar from them for all types of occasions. They have a wide selection which ranges from the cheap cigars up to the specially imported Cubans. The staff are very knowledgeable and can tell you exactly what you would like to know about the cigar. It can be quite strange because when you ask the staff about a particular tobacco plant the staff will talk about the cigars as though they are talking about a fine wine. It can be quite interesting but also slightly strange when someone talks about a cigar being 'creamy'. They of course also sell cigarettes, lighters and other smoking paraphernalia. This is a true gentleman's store and is worth a trip particularly if you (like me) are partial to the odd celebratory cigar.

I love this newsagents on Whitchurch Road in Heath, not because it is in any way outstanding when…read morecompared to other newsagents, but because it doesn't have a name! Or perhaps it does? Perhaps it's called Newsagent! Well, it is actually called Newsagent, now that I come to think about it...! How random is all this!? Whatever the case, it was a smart move to name the business in this way. Not only is there no confusion around what they do, but you can see their sign from Pembrokeshire! With such a large competitor in Newslodge just a few doors up the road, Newsagent has to employ al of the tactics that it can to compete! In terms of what they stock, there's fewer surprises! They have all the nationals and local papers and a reasonable number of magazines. They also carry greetings cards and stationary, both of which are of a reasonable quality. They also do a fair amount of food, and household products... and they do two rolls of loo roll for a quid... always useful to know! So they are not only handy, they are definitely worthwhile. Big up the little guy!!

When you leap off your train in Cardiff Central, and make your way through the…read morebarriers-were-everyone-must-loiter, you'll find yourself in Central Square with the pigeons and the smokers and the taxi drivers. There is, slightly in the distance, a little blue box saying 'The Newskiosk'. Now, initially I liked this place simply because I think the word 'newskiosk' is a beautiful creation of the English language. Then I realised that this neat little place had some other uses too. Like provided people with chocolate bars and newspapers and tobacco (not that I smoke), and the like. It's one of those exceptionally handy shops that's just in the right place at the right time, all of the time. It's a corner shop, only it's not on the corner of anything. It's all out there on its own. I admire its courage.

The Newskiosk offers frenzied travellers an opportunity to re-up before they climb aboard one of…read moreCardiff's many transportation options, be it taxi, train or bus. It serves its purpose as a purveyor of sweets, magazines and smokes, but it's nothing special, and they don't sell anything you can't get in Londis or WHS Smith nearby. It looks a bit out of place on the periphery of the bus station, but in actuality it's perfectly positioned to intercept all of the passersby with its tempting display of cigarettes, chocolate and crisps. The magazine selection is quite poor - I've tried to buy a few titles here, but either they didn't stock them or they sold out. Anything they don't have though, you can always grab from the WHSmith inside the railway station.

K&C Stores is the shop that you pop to when you realise that you've forgotten something but you…read morecan't be bothered to go all the way back down to the supermarket. It's not a particularly brilliant shop and it doesn't offer many special groceries, for people who want to buy local, for example. The exception to this is the penny sweets. Not that they cost a penny any more, but they do take you back to your childhood immediately, right down to the little white paper bags you carry to the counter. The main problem with the shop is the queuing system... There is no queuing system. Three aisles converge at the counter, where there are only two servers, meaning service is slow and uneven. Nonetheless, it does accept cards over £5 and does offer all you could really need. Milk, cheese, vegetables, fruit, dried food, over the counter medicines, cigarettes and all associated paraphanalia. You can also top up your electricity meters at the till. There is a convenient cash point just outside the stall which would have boosted the rating to a 4, had it not just started charged £1.50 for a transaction.

I don't know whether it's because it's so close to the station or whether it's something that's…read moretrue across all the shops (I am assuming it's a chain store though I've never seen another) but this is such an expensive corner shop. I mean, you get everything you're likely to need, granted. Snack foods, newspapers and magazines, medicines - it's all there. But at quite a high cost. It's like when you go to the theatre and they charge you about £7 for a spoonful of ice cream - it's because it's theatre ice cream. Well, if you're going to buy food you might as well spend only a little more and get something good from M&S.
