This specialist tobacconist is famous for its enormous stuffed mascot, Bruno the Bear, who is…read morethought to be more than 200 years old. He has been in this shop since the end of the 19th Century, and once stood outside - although today (in his old age!) he's retired inside, and stands dominating the window display instead. I believe the shop has changed hands over the years, but it still retains that old-fashioned charm and I think it is the only specialist shop of this kind in Wales. It stocks an impressive array of cigars and tobacco products, many of which are imported from all over the globe. There's loose and packet pipe tobacco, hand-rolling tobacco, pipes and pipe sundries (including Dunhill, Peterson, Falcon, Parker, and other big names), cigars, lighters, and old-fashioned cigarette cases. Apart from all the smoking paraphernalia, however, they also sell a range of products mainly aimed at gentlemen - some of which could make nice gifts for older generations, including shaving brushes, razors and cut-throats, hip flasks and pocket watches.

God I love this place…read more I guess as a former smoker (or someone whose addiction's probably just on hold at the moment - it has yet to be determined), this shop has a real appeal for me. Apart from selling my once-loved American Spirit cigarettes, The Bear Shop always makes me feel like I've been transported back in time, to the age of Victorian Britain or something - especially with that massive grizzly bear in the corner. Tucked away in the Wyndham Arcade, the Bear Shop is worth hunting for. With the best selection of tobacco in town, it offers not only lighters, pipes, and cigarette cases but specialty gifts like flasks and pocket watches. Plus, I love buying a few Cuban cigars for the boys back home, as I'm sure you already know, we're not allowed their goods in the ol' US of A!

This new pharmacy has just opened at the top of Clifton Street (Newport Road end) as part of the…read moreregeneration scheme. It's small but well-stocked and is very white and 'medical' looking! I popped in at 10.30am on a Saturday morning not long after it opened and there was no one in there apart from the charming young guy behind the counter and the pharmacist out back. I was greeted with smiles and relief - 'at last, a customer!' I could almost hear the thought reverberating in their heads. The pharmacy had lots of deals and offers on cold and flu remedies and the guy serving me made sure that I had taken the Beechams Flu Capsules before and knew what I was doing. I hope this personal service picks up when their business does! One puzzle yet to be solved, however, is why, oh why, have they just opened a small pharmacy at the end of Clifton Street when the huge 'Clifton Pharmacy' is positioned just down the road and another, smaller pharmacy is literally around the corner on Broadway? Three pharmacies within meters of each other - surely we're not that much of a sick-note Britain?
