Native cigarette brands in Canada

Eighteen native brands, from the heaviest full flavour to the mildest light, plus one international brand. Nearly all of them are $42 a carton for 200 cigarettes, so choosing between them is about taste rather than price.

What native cigarettes are

Native cigarettes are manufactured on First Nations territory and sold directly rather than through the convenience store supply chain. The format is identical to anything you’d buy in a shop: 200 king size cigarettes in ten packs of twenty, in standard plain packaging.

What differs is the blend and the price. Because they’re made and sold on reserve, there’s no provincial tobacco tax and no retail markup, which is why a carton costs roughly a third of what the same quantity costs at a convenience store. Our native smokes guide covers the buying side, and the brand equivalents guide matches mainstream brands to their closest native counterpart.

The strength ladder

If you’re new to native tobacco, this is the shortcut. Six reference points from the heaviest to the mildest, with everything else sitting somewhere between them.

Rolled Gold Full Flavour The heaviest carton in the range $42
Elite Full Flavour Just below Rolled Gold, with a charcoal-filter sibling $47.50
Rolled Gold Lights Sits above most other brands’ full flavour $42
Canadian Classics Original The middle of the range, and the usual du Maurier match $42
Playfare’s Lights Cleaner and slightly sweeter, with a faster burn $42
Putter’s Light The mildest we carry — the usual first-timer pick $42

Other formats

Rollies — bag of 200

$27

The same finished cigarettes, bagged loose instead of boxed in packs. Nothing to roll. Ten varieties across Canadian, Canadian Classics, Putter’s and disCOUNT — the cheapest format we sell, at 13.5¢ a cigarette.

Pop N’ Smoke slims

$42

Ten flavours — apple mint, blueberry mint, cherry, grape, icy mint, menthol, orange, supreme, watermelon and the Chanel blueberry mint. Slim format with a crushable capsule, so you choose when the flavour comes through.

Marlboro

$85

The one international brand we carry, in Full Flavour and Lights. It sits outside the volume tiers and costs roughly twice a native carton, because it isn’t a native product.

Looking for a brand we don’t list? The international brands guide covers twenty of them and names the closest native match for each.

Who makes them

Smokeway, which manufactures on First Nations land and produces Canadian, Canadian Classics, Canadian Goose, Elite, Rolled Gold, Playfare’s, Putter’s, Nexus, BB and Pop N’ Smoke.

Two other manufacturers shape the wider market under their own labels. Grand River Enterprises, at Six Nations of the Grand River in Ohsweken, Ontario, is the largest native manufacturer in Canada and makes Seneca, Opal and Couture. Rainbow Tobacco operates out of Kahnawake, Quebec.

What they cost

Price drops automatically at checkout as the order grows, and the tier counts your total cartons rather than cartons of one brand — so you can mix freely. Based on the standard $42 carton:

1–4 cartons$42.0021¢ each
5–20 cartons$37.8018.9¢ each · 10% off
21–39 cartons$34.4417.2¢ each · 18% off

Convenience store carton$110–$16555.0¢–82.5¢

A convenience store carton runs $110 to $165 depending on province, and roughly $76 to $119 of that is federal excise duty and provincial tobacco tax. The provincial price guides break that down, and the cheapest cigarettes in Canada guide compares every format side by side.

Common questions

Which native cigarette brand is best?

It depends on what you’re switching from. Canadian is the usual starting point and the brand most people settle on. If you’re coming off a mass-market light, start with Putter’s Light. Since nearly every brand is the same $42, the cheapest way to decide is to order a carton each of two or three and see which one you keep reaching for.

Is it legal to buy native cigarettes in Canada?

Rules vary by province and the legal position is contested in places. You must be of legal smoking age in your province, which is confirmed at checkout. Check the rules that apply where you live.

How many brands do you carry?

Eighteen native brands plus Marlboro. Ten of them — Canadian, Canadian Classics, Playfare’s, Putter’s, BB, Rolled Gold, Nexus, Canadian Goose, Elite and Pop N’ Smoke — make up most of what people buy.

Who makes Canadian Classics?

Smokeway, on First Nations land. It is a different product from any mainstream brand with a similar name — the resemblance is in the name, not the blend.

What is the strongest native cigarette?

Rolled Gold Full Flavour, with Elite Full Flavour just behind it. Both use a denser leaf cut than the rest of the range.

What is the mildest?

Putter’s Light, then Playfare’s Lights. Both are common first choices for people coming off a mass-market light.

How many cigarettes are in a carton?

200 king size cigarettes, in ten packs of twenty — the same as any carton you’d buy in a store.

Are native cigarettes weaker than regular cigarettes?

Not inherently. It depends entirely on the variant. Rolled Gold Full Flavour is heavier than most mainstream full flavours, while Putter’s Light is milder than most mainstream lights.

How fast is delivery?

1 to 3 business days to major cities and 3 to 5 to rural and northern addresses. Free over $300, flat $25 below that, tracked either way.
