Silk Cut is a British brand built entirely around a light smoke, and it isn’t sold in Canada. If you’re looking for something comparable here, this covers it.
We don’t stock Silk Cut. We sell native cigarettes at $42 a carton.
What Silk Cut is
A British brand that made low tar its entire proposition at a time when most cigarettes were sold on strength. The purple pack became one of the most recognisable in British retail, helped by an advertising campaign that ran for years without ever showing the product.
It remains a significant UK brand and has never been distributed in Canada.
The closest native equivalents
Silk Cut’s appeal is a genuinely light smoke:
| Brand | Character | Carton |
|---|---|---|
| Putter’s Light | The gentlest in the native range — light draw, clean finish | $42.00 |
| Canadian Ultra Lights | The mildest of the Canadian family | $42.00 |
| Canadian Lights | Light, 0.6mg nicotine | $42.00 |
| Playfare’s Light | Cleaner and slightly sweeter than the Canadian family | $42.00 |
Smokeway recommend Putter’s Light specifically for smokers switching across from mass-market brands. If you’re used to a light cigarette, start there.
Worth avoiding: Rolled Gold Lights. Despite the name, the manufacturer describes it as closer to most brands’ full flavour than to a true light.

| Carton of 200 | |

Frequently asked questions
Can you buy Silk Cut in Canada?
No. Silk Cut has never been distributed here.
What are the lightest native cigarettes?
Putter’s Light is the gentlest in the range, followed by Canadian Ultra Lights.
Are “light” cigarettes safer?
No. Canada banned the terms “light” and “mild” on packaging in 2007 precisely because they implied reduced harm. Strength descriptors refer to taste and draw, not safety.
Do you sell Silk Cut?
No. We carry native brands from $42 a carton.
