Any tobacco stores that sell loose cigarettes in Berlin?

yeah loose cigarettes aren't really a thing here legally, they stopped doing that years ago. but what you want is rolling tobacco, most spätis near friedrichstrasse will have at least one brand like pueblo or amber leaf. if you want something cheaper and decent, try the tabak shop on torstraße near rosa-luxemburg-platz, they've got a bigger selection and the guy behind the counter actually knows his stuff. expect to pay around 12 euros for a 40g pouch, that'll make maybe 40-50 smokes depending on how you roll

You're not going to find loose cigarettes in the sense of a bulk bin or anything like that, but what you're probably after is rolling tobacco (Drehtabak) and papers. Most Spätis or Kiosks around Friedrichstrasse will carry it, but the bigger tobacco shops like the one at Friedrichstrasse 135 near the U-Bahn entrance have a decent selection. For a proper range of brands, try the Tabakwaren shop on Oranienburger Strasse just past the Tacheles ruin, they've got rolling tobacco from maybe 8-10 euros a pouch.

honestly just hit up any Späti near you, they all carry rolling tobacco. the one at friedrichstrasse 135 near the u-bahn has a decent selection if you want to browse.

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
