Canadian Cigarettes — Brand Overview

When it comes to Canadian cigarettes, few brands carry the legacy and reputation of Canadian. As one of the most recognized Canadian cigarette brands, it offers a rich, smooth smoking experience that stands out in the market.

Whether you prefer Canadian Full cigarettes or a lighter option like Canadian Classic Lights, this brand delivers premium quality tobacco that satisfies both casual smokers and seasoned enthusiasts.

Name Variants

Given the patriotic, yet not quite unique naming, there are several ways people address this brand and its products. To avoid confusion, here are all the options:

• Canadian cigarettes, Canadian smokes (meaning the brand Canadian, not all cigarettes made in Canada);
• Canadian Full — also often called Canadian Red cigarettes;
• Canadian Lights — sometimes labeled as Canadian Light, Canadian Blue cigarettes;
• Canadian Menthol — most often called just Menthols or Canadian Green cigarettes, Canadian Mint as well.

In addition, sometimes this brand is mistaken for Canadian Classics. It’s a different entity, not the same brand. Canadian Classic Lights are not the same cigarettes as Canadian Light (that’s why Canadian Classic Lights are now called Canadian Classics Silver), they use a different tobacco blend and have a different nicotine content (0.5 vs 0.7 mg per cigarette).

Brand History
