A Homegrown Brand with Deep Canadian Roots
The Canadian Classics brand was first introduced in 1995, marketed as a proud symbol of Canadian craftsmanship. Developed by Imperial Tobacco Canada, the brand quickly gained traction among smokers looking for a domestically produced cigarette that didn’t compromise on quality.
From its inception, Canadian Classics embraced its national identity—featuring unmistakable red maple leaf branding and packaging that honoured Canadian identity– from the great wilderness background to the striking CANADIAN CLASSICS logo.
While international brands dominated Canadian shelves for decades, Canadian Classics quickly began to stand their own ground in terms of quality and craftsmanship.
Manufactured to Canadian Standards
Canadian Classics cigarettes are manufactured by Rothmans, Benson & Hedges, a subsidiary of Philips Morris International. Backed by decades of manufacturing expertise and billions in funding, Canadian Classics adheres to strict quality controls and is made in compliance with national tobacco regulations. The brand is produced using a blend of high-quality, flue-cured Canadian tobacco, which gives it its signature taste—smooth, rich, and never overwhelming.
Each cigarette is foil-sealed for freshness and crafted using king-size (85mm in length) or regular-length (70mm) formats. Whether you choose the full-flavour Original, the light Silver, or the ultra-light Ultra Blue, you’ll receive a product built on consistency and care.
As a testament to their domestic production, Canadian Classics have become especially popular in regions like Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia, where smokers are drawn to their familiar flavour and clean presentation.
