How We Compare Cigarette Brands
Calling one product the “best cigarette” is subjective. Instead of giving every smoker the same recommendation, it is more useful to compare brands according to the characteristics that matter when choosing between products.
1. Full Flavour vs. Light
Full, Original and Full Flavour varieties generally represent the fuller-profile option within a cigarette brand’s range. Shoppers who prefer this style can compare currently available products in our Full Flavour Cigarettes collection.
Products labelled Light, Silver, Blue, Smooth or Ultra Light typically represent lighter-style alternatives within their respective brand families. Compare available options in our Light Cigarettes category.
These product names describe style and flavour positioning and should not be interpreted as indicating that one cigarette is safer than another.
2. Menthol Flavour
Menthol cigarettes combine tobacco flavour with a cooling menthol sensation. Brands currently offering menthol-style products include BB, Canadian, Canadian Classics, Discount, Classic, Playfare’s and others depending on inventory.
If you specifically prefer this style, compare the complete Menthol Cigarettes selection rather than searching each brand individually.
3. Price and Quantity
Price can be an important factor when comparing cigarette brands in Canada. Instead of looking only at the price of a single carton, compare current product prices as well as any eligible quantity savings.
MyNativeSmokes currently offers qualifying quantity discounts on selected cigarette products, allowing customers to combine eligible products while purchasing larger quantities.
If price is your main consideration, read our Cheap Smokes Canada guide for a more detailed comparison.
