Cigarette Delivery in Ontario: Native Smokes Shipped to Your Door
Ontario is home. Absolute Smokes packs and ships out of Ohsweken, on Six Nations of the Grand River, a short drive from Brantford and about half an hour from Hamilton. When an Ontario order leaves our floor it is already inside the province it is going to, which is not something we can say about any other page in this family.
That does not change the flat rate and it does not change the published timeframe. Shipping is $25 per order anywhere in Canada, free at $450 or more, orders leave within 24 to 48 hours of payment, and most of the country sits in the 2 to 5 business day range once the package is moving. What being in-province does change is the distance the box has to cover. An order headed to Hamilton, Brantford, Cambridge or Kitchener is travelling a fraction of the road that an order to Whitehorse is travelling, and an Ontario customer is at the near end of the national range rather than the far end of it.
Buy Native Cigarettes Online in Ontario
We keep 26 cigarette products and 13 nicotine pouch products. Standard cartons are $45, the Crush flavoured line is $65 a carton, and pouches are $20. There is no Ontario surcharge and no separate provincial price list. The number you see on the product page is the number you pay.
Most people arriving here already know roughly what they smoke and want to find the equivalent, so here is the catalogue sorted by strength rather than by brand.
Full flavour. Canadian Fulls, BB Full Flavour, Playfare Full Flavour, Canadian Goose Full Flavour and Nexus Full. This is the deepest part of the lineup and the part Ontario orders lean on hardest.
Lights. Canadian Lights, BB Lights, DK Lights and Canadian Goose Light. The middle ground, and the most common place for someone to land when a full flavour is more than they want day to day.
Ultra light. Canadian Ultralight and Playfare Ultralight. Two options, both steady sellers.
Menthol. BB Menthol and Playfare Menthol.
Flavoured. The Crush line at $65 a carton: Canadian Crush Cherry, Canadian Crush Grape and Canadian Crush Tropical Splash.
Original and smooth. Canadian Original, DM Original, DM Smooth and Discount Original.
If the strength labels do not mean much to you yet, our post on full flavour vs lights vs ultra light explains how the tiers differ before you commit to a carton of anything.
How Absolute Smokes Delivers to Ontario
Ontario orders are packed in Ohsweken and handed to the carrier the same way every other order is. Plain unmarked box, nothing on the outside naming the store or what is inside, tracking number emailed to you once the label exists. Orders go out within 24 to 48 hours of payment clearing, business days only, so a Friday night order is a Monday shipment rather than something that sits for a week.
Three brands carry most of our Ontario volume. Here is what each one is and who orders it.
Canadian
Canadian is the widest line we stock and the one most Ontario first-timers start with, partly because the four sizes cover the whole strength range without you having to change brands to move up or down. Canadian Original is the default pick. Canadian Fulls is the heavier end of it. Canadian Lights and Canadian Ultralight step it down in two stages. If somebody in the household smokes a lighter cigarette than you do, this is the brand where you can buy both out of the same order without guessing at how two different lines compare.
The Crush cartons sit under the same Canadian name at $65: Cherry, Grape and Tropical Splash.
BB
BB is the brand Ontario regulars reorder without thinking about it. Three sizes, all $45: BB Full Flavour, BB Lights and BB Menthol. The menthol in particular moves well through the Golden Horseshoe and the GTA, and it is the one we most often see going out in multiples in a single household order. BB has a fuller draw than its strength label suggests, so if you are coming from a retail lights and find our lights a touch thin, BB Lights is usually the fix.
Playfare
Playfare is the value end of the main lineup and it covers three points on the scale: Playfare Full Flavour, Playfare Ultralight and Playfare Menthol. There is no lights in the middle, so Playfare smokers tend to sit at one end or the other rather than drifting. It is a common carton to add when someone is two or three cartons short of the $450 free shipping line and does not want to double up on what they already ordered.
How Cigarette Delivery Works in Ontario
Four steps, same for every Ontario address.
Build the order. Standard cartons at $45, Crush at $65, pouches at $20. Ten standard cartons is $450 exactly, which is where shipping stops costing you anything.
Pay. Interac e-Transfer, or credit or debit card at checkout. An e-Transfer goes to the address printed on your invoice.
We ship. Within 24 to 48 hours of payment, business days only, in plain unmarked packaging.
Track and receive. The tracking number arrives by email. Most of Canada is 2 to 5 business days in transit and Ontario addresses sit at the near end of that range because the package starts here. If you will not be home, our post on who can accept delivery in Canada covers the practical side of getting the box into your hands.
Where We Deliver in Ontario
We deliver to every Ontario address the carrier network reaches, from the border towns in the southwest to the fly-in communities in the far north. The province is big enough that the experience is genuinely different depending on where you are, so here is how it breaks down.
The Golden Horseshoe. This is our immediate neighbourhood. Ohsweken sits inside the horseshoe, with Brantford just up the road and Hamilton close behind it. Orders to Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Cambridge, Kitchener, Guelph and Brantford itself are the shortest trips we send. Nothing about the flat $25 changes, but these are the packages with the least road between the shop and the doorstep.
The Greater Toronto Area. Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Pickering and Oshawa. The GTA is our single heaviest destination by volume, and it is close enough to Ohsweken that the drive is a couple of hours rather than a couple of days. Apartment and condo addresses are common here, so it is worth making sure the buzzer and unit number are on the shipping line of the order.
Southwestern Ontario. London, Windsor, Sarnia, Chatham-Kent, Woodstock, Stratford and the smaller centres through Middlesex, Elgin, Oxford and Essex. This is the other direction out of Ohsweken along the 401 corridor, and it is still comfortably inside the near end of the national range.
Eastern Ontario. Ottawa, Kingston, Belleville, Cornwall, Brockville, Peterborough and the counties through the Rideau and the St. Lawrence. Ottawa and Kingston are the two centres we send the most to out east. The trip is longer than a GTA run but it is still an in-province delivery rather than a cross-country one.
Northern Ontario. Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay and Timmins, plus the smaller communities off the highway network beyond them. Northern Ontario is where in-province stops meaning short. Thunder Bay is further from Ohsweken than Winnipeg is, and the northern communities that are not on a year round road run longest of all. The published national range of 2 to 5 business days covers most of Canada, and remote destinations take longer than that. We would rather set that expectation here than have you counting days against a number that was never meant for a fly-in address.
Anyone ordering to a northern or remote Ontario address should read shipping to northern and remote Canada before placing the order.
What a Carton Costs at Absolute Smokes
| Item | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cigarette carton, standard | $45.00 | Tax-free carton pricing. Canadian, BB, Playfare and the rest of the main lineup. |
| Cigarette carton, Crush flavoured line | $65.00 | Cherry, Grape and Tropical Splash. |
| Nicotine pouches | $20.00 | Pablo, White Fox and Happy Dad. |
| Shipping, flat rate | $25.00 | Per order, any size. Same rate to Toronto as to Thunder Bay. |
| Free shipping threshold | $450.00+ | Ten standard cartons at the standard rate. |
Two things worth doing the maths on before you check out. First, the threshold is a hard line at $450, and ten standard cartons lands on it exactly, so a nine carton order pays $25 that a ten carton order does not. Second, a carton is a very different unit from a pack, and if you are used to buying by the pack it is worth reading our post on how many cigarettes are in a carton so the order size you pick actually matches what you get through in a month.
Why Ontario Smokers Order From Six Nations
The honest answer is proximity and price, in that order.
Proximity is real and it is specific to this page. Ohsweken is on Six Nations of the Grand River, inside the Golden Horseshoe, minutes from Brantford and a short run from Hamilton. Ontario orders do not cross a single provincial border. For the large share of Ontarians who live in the horseshoe or the GTA, the shop is closer to them than most of the province is.
Price is the flat structure. Cartons at $45, Crush at $65, pouches at $20, $25 to ship and nothing to ship past $450. A Toronto customer and a Kenora customer pay the same shipping, which is unusual and is worth saying plainly.
The rest is the ordinary stuff we do the same for everyone: a stable catalogue you can reorder from, plain unmarked packaging with nothing on the outside identifying the contents or the store, and a tracking number by email rather than a guess.
