I am surprised at the previous reviews I've never experienced any difficulties Chris (manager)…read moreHeather, lovely Shop assistant have always been courteous and have always taken the time out to advise me. I am new to the world of cigars and always get exceptional advise and even offered cheaper alternatives to try out such as the sample packs or the cigar of the month. I am glad to say that I'm now a regular customer.

Appalling service. I…read moreentered the shop and was told that there was a "one customer at a time" policy for the walk in humidor. Fair enough...except there was a gang of 3 people in there already..who were taking ages over deciding what a cigar was. I told the woman assistant that I already knew what I wanted...could she possibly nip into the humidor and get them for me? WAIT YOUR TURN!! After 5 minutes waiting I gave up. I said to the woman that I had limited time. But she was so engrossed with a piece of paper that she did not even have the courtesy to look up and apologise, 1970's style service.

Now it might seem odd that as a non-smoker I'm a fan of such an establishment. What I love is that…read morethere is something really quintessentially English about this place and the fact that despite the economic crisis in the world there is still a need for such a tremendous specialist shop as this in the area. If you're a smoker and after something different in your roll up or fancy trying a pipe then you will find something to suit in here and its more affordable than city centre stockists of such things. What i love even more is the eccentric closing time of a quarter past the hour of five, brilliant. After nipping in I was fascinated by the range of stock and was itching to do a social history project but Stirchley has had many shop documenters before in the past. It's a curious place and I had a smokers version of a Toys-r-us advert playing in my head as I perused.

A lovely old shop. Once inside it looks like you have stepped back in time…read more As you walk in you can faintly smell the fresh tobaccos in the air. ( not through smoke let me stress, purely through all the pots of fresh tobaccos). Apparently the business is generations old. Although the owner seems on the quieter side, he certainly has vast knowledge on all the products he has. Why we only use these tobacconists abroard I do not know. We should support these small places that specialise in certain goods more. Would definitely recommend.

Have you noticed that smoking habits change from region to region? When I was in Durham I noticed…read morethere was a penchant for the Regal brand whereas in parts of West London Camels are all the rage. In the South-West everyone, it seems, roll their own. As a result it might be hard to get the brand that you usually smoke as a visitor in a town, as supply reflects demand. If you happen to find yourself in Solihull, you can rest assured that this shop will stock what you smoke. For a special occasion you might want to try one of the many cigars that they have to suit all budgets. Hand-rolling tobacco comes in different flavours and is sold by weight. Try cherry or vanilla for a sweet smoke. A wide range of smoking paraphernalia is also available like filter tips, cardboard tips, cigar cutters, and gift lighters. Smokin'!

I went in this shop looking for ideas for a Fathers Day gift for my Dad. I was browsing in here for…read morequite a while wondering whether or not to purchase some sort of smoking paraphernalia as my dad enjoys the occasional cigar. In addition to selling pipes, tobacco, cigarettes and cigars they also stock a range of shaving kits, silver tankards, cuff links, walking sticks and lighters. There were two middle aged ladies behind the counter chatting away. I was never once acknowledged by them not even when I was looking at the display of various tobacco products behind them did they even ask if I needed any help. The shop was empty apart from myself and one gentleman so it's not as if they were rushed off their feet with a big queue. Admittedly I'm not their typical customer who knows the difference between the various flavours and blends of tobacco. If you know the difference between a Romeo Y Julieta and a Hamlet or Irish Oak and Old Dublin then you'll love this shop. If you just want a packet of fags and a disposable lighter you might as well stick to your local corner shop or covenience store.

When I came into Mirage News I thought it was just a bog standard newsagents. Crisps, sweets,…read morecigarettes, bottles of fizzy pop and few newspapers. That kind of thing. 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.

I absolutely hate the cigarette smell and the habit people have of smoking! But almost everything…read morein this shop's window got me curious about what was inside. I was amazed at how many flavours of unique tobacco they sell. My favourites were: cherry with vanilla, Irish coffee and caramel. I was also amazed at their large selection of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, tobacco and unique lighters. The staff were a bit patronising as I got curious about the products and asked them questions about the items they stocked. On the other hand they were very knowledgeable about the products; I know this is a little thing to care about but I find that it can make a difference to anybody's shopping experience. I wouldn't recommend this place as it supplies people with everything they need to smoke but I can imagine it's a hot spot for those who enjoy smoking.

But for the 5 mins I was in here it definitely seemed to be busy enough with fans of the old brown weed. Needing to pop in and buy some Havana cigars for our friends wedding, the staff were very helpful, knowledgable and friendly - helping me choose the 3 pack of Bolivar's (£48 for 3) that went down a treat once all the service and speeches were complete. Personally myself, I have no probs with people choosing what they do with their life and bodies as long as they're not blowing smoke in mine or my kids face and these sorts of places used to maybe be ten a penny back in the old days, but it's nice to see something so traditional as a classic, artisan tobacconist on the high street still. When the next big wedding is on, I'll now know where to go to get my zig-a-zig'ar on!

It's simple. If you like weed a lot, you will like Dr Herman's a lot…read more If, like me, you don't really like weed, then the existence of Dr Herman's will be totally inconsequential to you. It is to me. In Dr Herman's there are loads and loads and loads of bongs, pipes, papers and other accessories to help you smoke the green stuff in all kind of ways. The whole shop is dedicated to the weed. Apparently there are enough people in Manchester that like weed that much to fund its existence. Fair enough, I guess.

For those folks who draw a blank, Dr. Hermans specialises in a wide range of smoking paraphernalia from tobacco seeds to seed banks, grow bags, grinders, pollinators, vapourisers, roaches and blunts. The reason I've only given them three stars isn't because their shit isn't good - it's because the shop looks and feels like a hippy tardis. Everywhere you look, there's horrible flashing lights, crappy lava lamps and cheap looking bongs. I know most customers are probably too high to notice but the decor makes me think of migraines! Personally, I'd also be extremely reluctant to smoke something called Fly Agaric but hey, it's your lungs!
