Here’s the funny thing, there are many a cigarette shops on a cycle or motorbike spread across the city, so pinpointing you to one is nearly impossible. But telling you that they are open until as late as 4 am is possible. For starters, the road towards Palace Grounds is littered with at least four such shops. Or if you go to the market side of Shivaji Nagar, you will find patrons sipping on tea, munching on tea buns, and having a smoke near the Savera Hotel that’s open till 2 in the morning. Maybe pop in there for some sulaimani tea and onion samosa? Or you could go near Majestic Railway station or Cantonment Railway station where you will such makeshift shops selling everything from cigarettes to butter cookies.
