Quebec smokers outside Montreal and Quebec City order cigarettes online for the same practical reasons as everyone else: a lower price per pack, carton pricing that beats a corner-store run, a wider brand lineup than most local counters carry, and delivery to the door instead of one more stop on the way home. This guide is written for the province’s second cities — Laval, Longueuil, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières and Saguenay — along with the smaller Quebec metros that get deliveries every day.
Everything below is practical: how to order, what a carton costs relative to a pack, which brand fits which routine, and how delivery and payment work from the moment you check out. If you already know the brand you want, skip to the shop and order directly. If you are still deciding, the city-by-city and brand sections below are the fastest way through it.

What Actually Changes When You Order Online in a Second City
Four things change compared with buying locally, and all four are worth understanding before your first order.
1. The price per pack is lower
Online pricing on BCO starts at $6 a pack, which is the main reason most customers switch. The gap widens further once you move from single packs to cartons — see the carton price comparison guide and the province-by-province breakdown in store prices vs online prices.
2. The brand lineup is deeper than a local counter
Most depanneurs in a mid-size Quebec city stock two or three brands and only the top-selling variants. BCO carries the full lineup — BB Cigarettes, Playfare, Canadian Classics, Classics, Canadian Cigarettes, Rolled Gold, Discount, Time, dM, Nexus, Putters, DK’s, Canadian Premium and Canadian Goose — across full flavor, light, ultra light and menthol variants. The complete list of brand families is in the A–Z brand directory.
3. Delivery replaces the drive
Orders ship to your door, which matters most in winter and in cities where the nearest counter is a 20-minute drive. Options, timelines and signature requirements are covered in the shipping options guide and the discreet delivery guide.
4. You can order in French
Quebec customers can shop in French. The French-language pages mirror the English ones — for example acheter des cigarettes en ligne à Laval and acheter des cigarettes en ligne à Montréal — and the product catalog is the same either way.
City-by-City: What to Know Before You Order
Laval
Laval is the easiest Quebec city to serve online because it sits inside the Montreal delivery ring — orders placed in the morning typically land the next business day. If you live in Chomedey, Sainte-Dorothée, Vimont or Duvernay, there is no reason to drive into Montreal for a carton. Start with the Laval ordering page.
Longueuil
Longueuil covers a wide stretch of the South Shore, from the old city core out through Saint-Hubert and Boucherville. Delivery is straightforward and the same next-day pattern applies. Details are on the Longueuil ordering page.
Gatineau
Gatineau is the one Quebec city where local pricing is most directly compared with Ontario, since Ottawa is across the bridge. Customers in Hull, Aylmer, Buckingham and the Plateau generally order cartons rather than packs because the per-pack saving is what justifies the order. See the Gatineau ordering page and, if you cross the river regularly, the Ottawa guide.
Sherbrooke
Sherbrooke and the surrounding Eastern Townships towns are a two-to-three day delivery zone. Ordering by carton makes sense here because a single delivery covers weeks of smoking. The Sherbrooke ordering page has the specifics.
Trois-Rivières
Trois-Rivières sits on the same corridor as Montreal and Quebec City, so shipping is quick and predictable. If you are restocking a household rather than a single smoker, plan the order around the free-shipping and free-item tiers described below. See buy cigarettes online in Trois-Rivières.
Saguenay
Saguenay — Jonquière, Chicoutimi, La Baie and the Lac-Saint-Jean corridor — is further north, so a carton order beats a weekly pack run on both cost and time. Delivery details are on the Saguenay ordering page.
The smaller Quebec metros
The same ordering flow applies in Saint-Jérôme, Drummondville, Châteauguay, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Shawinigan and Rouyn-Noranda. The only variable is transit time — everything else, from pricing to payment to brand availability, is identical across the province. For the far north, the northern Canada ordering guide covers the longer lanes.
What You Pay: Packs, Cartons and the Math Behind It
The single biggest lever on your monthly cost is order size, not brand. A pack is a convenience purchase; a carton is the value purchase. Before ordering, work out your actual consumption — the cigarette math guide walks through packs-per-day to cartons-per-month, and the monthly supply guide turns that into an order plan.
Two rules of thumb hold across every brand on the site:
- Carton over pack — the per-pack cost drops as soon as you buy by the carton. Compare tiers in when bulk makes sense.
- Stack the free-item tiers — cart totals that cross the promo thresholds add free product. See bundle deals and free shipping planning.
Value brands and premium brands differ less than people expect once you are buying cartons. The cheap vs premium comparison and the budget brand guide lay out both tiers side by side.
Choosing a Brand: Match the Variant to Your Routine
Full flavor
If you smoke one or two cigarettes and want them to count, full flavor is the tier. The deepest lineups are Canadian Classics Original, Classics Full Flavor, BB Full Flavor, Playfare Full Flavour, Canadian Full, Putters Full Flavor, Nexus Full Flavor, dM Original, DK’s Full, Discount Full Flavor and Canadian Goose. The full-flavor guide ranks them by body and draw.
Light
Light is the most popular tier in Quebec and the one with the most options: Canadian Lights, Canadian Classics Silver, Classics Lights, BB Light, Playfare Light, Rolled Gold Light, Time Blue, dM Smooth, Putters Light, Nexus Light, Discount Lights and DK’s Light. See every light brand compared.
Ultra light
Ultra light suits smokers who want the ritual without the weight. The main options are Playfare Ultra Light, Canadian Ultra Lights and Classics Extra Lights. The light vs ultra light guide explains the difference in draw.
Menthol
Menthol stock moves fastest in the smaller Quebec metros, so order a carton rather than packs if it is your regular: Canadian Menthol, Canadian Classics Menthol, Classics Menthol, BB Menthol, Playfare Menthol, Rolled Gold Menthol and Discount Menthol. Full breakdown in the menthol buying guide.
Quick Matching Guide
Use this table to shortlist two or three brands before you open the shop. The written variant name on the product page is always the authority — pack colours are only a browsing shortcut, as explained in the pack colours guide.
Routine / preference | Start with | Also consider
-------------------------+------------------------+-----------------------------
Full flavor, strongest | Canadian Classics | Classics Full Flavor
| Original | BB Full Flavor
Everyday light | Canadian Lights | Playfare Light
| | dM Smooth
Mildest draw | Playfare Ultra Light | Canadian Ultra Lights
Menthol | Canadian Menthol | Playfare Menthol
Cheapest per pack | Discount Full Flavor | dM Original
Simplest lineup | Canadian Goose | Time Full / Time Blue
Pouch alternative | ZYN Peach Bellini 9mg | ZYN Spearmint
Order Sizes: Pack, Carton, Sampler and Free-Item Tiers
There are five order shapes on BCO, and most customers end up using two or three of them depending on the month.
- Single pack — useful for trying something new. See the guide to reading product listings first so you order the right variant.
- Carton — the standard repeat order for a regular smoker.
- Mystery cigarette pack and mystery cigarette carton — multi-brand samplers. The sampler pack guide explains how to use them to test brands before committing to a carton.
- Spend $80, get a free pack — the entry free-item tier.
- Spend $240, get a carton and spend $480, get two free cartons — the tiers most household orders hit.
If you are ordering for more than one smoker, or mixing brands for different times of day, the multi-brand order guide shows how to build a cart that clears a free-item tier without buying product you will not smoke.
Delivery, Tracking and Payment
Checkout on BCO takes three decisions: how fast you want it, how you want to pay, and whether you need signature delivery.
- Speed — free, expedited, Xpresspost and priority options are compared in the shipping options guide, with provincial transit differences in delivery by province.
- Payment — Interac e-Transfer, credit card and crypto are all supported. The payment guide covers each one step by step.
- Tracking — every status your order passes through is explained in the order tracking guide, and you can check progress any time on the track order page.
Planning a Quebec Supply Run
The most common reason a Quebec customer comes back to BCO is planning, not price. Three habits keep the cost down and remove the emergency pack run:
- Order on a schedule. The restock schedule guide maps orders to how you actually smoke.
- Buy the month, not the week. Carton orders placed monthly beat pack orders placed weekly on both price and shipping.
- Keep one brand as a backup. Stock gaps happen in every metro. The brand substitutes guide lists the closest match for each popular brand.
If you are unsure which brand to settle on, the self-assessment guide and the switching brands guide both work through the decision in a few minutes. The variant lineup guide is useful if a brand you are considering has two, three or four variants and you want to understand the naming first — including the similar-sounding families explained in Canadian vs Canadian Classics vs Classics and the simpler lineups in two-variant brands.
Ordering Mistakes to Avoid
Most first-order problems are avoidable and have nothing to do with the product:
- Ordering packs when a carton would have cleared a free-item tier — see 12 checkout errors to avoid.
- Choosing a variant by pack colour instead of the written name. Colours are a shortcut, not a spec.
- Not checking the delivery window before a trip or a weekend away.
- Letting a regular brand run out before reordering instead of keeping a carton ahead.
