Tobacconist

Sometimes, indeed, when he chanced to be very sure that they would not come for him until evening, he would stroll through the town for an hour, looking into the shop windows and making up his mind what he should buy; and sometimes, on such occasions, he would visit the scene of his late labours, as he called the tobacconist's shop on that day of the week, and would exchange a few friendly words with his former companions. ❋ Unknown (1881)

The tobacconist was a hearty, red-faced man, who looked like an English sporting publican -- the kind of man who wears a fawn-coloured top-coat and drives to the Derby in a dog-cart; and usually there seemed to be nothing on his mind except the vagaries of the weather, concerning which he was a great conversationalist. ❋ Unknown (1928)

The size of the so-called Passage Feydeau (which opened in 1791 and was demolished in 1824) can be judged by the number of its tenants: several milliners and haberdashers, two book stalls, a florist, a tobacconist, a stamp dealer, a chestnut seller, and, along the entire length of the upper floor, an estaminet (a distinctly unfancy type of café that permitted smoking).1 ❋ Witold Rybczynski (2010)

[AS] The physicist Ernest Rutherford I think always said that you shouldn't be doing it if you couldn't explain what you were doing to your tobacconist, so it's the same sort of idea I suppose. ❋ Unknown (2008)
