Ireson’s tobacconist

This place is situated in St James Street, it is a small personal little place. The smell of this shop when you step in the door is delicious, a mixture of tobacco and sweets. I am not a smoker but tobacco before it is set alight smells like newly sawn wood to my mind. They sell lighters and ash trays. They sell cigars which range from 60p to £11/​12 each. They also sell sweets in jars, which they weigh out and put in nice stripey bags, just like when you were a child. The staff are friendly and welcoming This shop is almost like a porn shop in this day and age but it is great and exclusive.

I love this shop as they sell all my old favourites of sweets in jars which they measure out, quite cheap. Cigars, cigaretts and different types of tobacco. You name it they sell it, in the way of cigarettes. I would recommend it here.

The only proper tobacconist in Taunton, they offer a wonderful range of flavoured pipe tobaccos, rare brands of tailor mades, supersized cigars and smoking accesories. It’s the mellow aroma of unsmoked tobacco which permeates the shop that I find irrestistable, even now as a non smoker. Jar upon jar of traditional sweets line the shelves, and ice cream and drinks if you prefer your refreshment non-​combustable.
