Canadian Premium has a compact lineup: two products rather than a long list of strength and flavour variants. That makes the brand easier to browse, but the names still leave an important buying question: should you choose Original or Special? This guide to Canadian Premium cigarettes Canada compares the two listings directly, explains what the product names do and do not tell you, and places both choices beside clearly labelled full-flavour and light alternatives in the Buy Cigs Online catalogue.
The main point is simple. Canadian Premium Original is the core named option, while Canadian Premium Special Cigarettes is the distinct Special option. Neither product name includes Light, Ultra Light, Full Flavor, or Menthol. Buyers who need one of those clearly marked categories should compare the labelled alternatives linked throughout this guide before adding a carton or pack to an order.
Canadian Premium Cigarettes Canada: The Two-Product Lineup
BCO currently lists two published Canadian Premium products:
This is a smaller lineup than brands that divide their catalogues into full-flavour, light, ultra-light, and menthol products. For example, the Canadian Cigarettes range has separate Canadian Full Cigarettes, Canadian Lights, Canadian Ultra Lights, and Canadian Menthol Cigarettes listings. Canadian Premium instead asks the buyer to choose between two named blends.
That distinction matters when shopping online. A product name can confirm a clearly labelled tier when words such as “Light” or “Full Flavor” are present. Canadian Premium Original and Special do not use those labels in their titles. Avoid treating either one as an automatic replacement for a light, menthol, or full-flavour product based only on pack colour or assumptions about the word “Premium.” Use the two Canadian Premium product pages as the source for the available format and current order options.
Canadian Premium Original: The Core Choice
Canadian Premium Original is the straightforward starting point for this brand. The word “Original” identifies it as the baseline Canadian Premium option. It is the logical first product to consider if you are new to the brand, already buy it by name, or want to establish a reference before trying the Special listing.
Original does not mean light, ultra-light, full-flavour, or menthol. It means the Original product in the Canadian Premium range. That may sound obvious, but it prevents a common online buying mistake: translating a general product word into a strength claim that the listing itself does not make. If strength terminology is your deciding factor, compare Original with products whose names state the tier directly.
For a clearly labelled full-flavour reference, look at DK’s Full Cigarettes, Putters Full Flavor, or Playfare Full Flavor Cigarettes. For a clearly labelled lighter reference, compare DK’s Light Cigarettes, Putters Light Cigarettes, or Playfare Light Cigarettes. These names provide a more direct strength signal than “Original.”
Canadian Premium Special: The Alternate Blend
Canadian Premium Special Cigarettes is the second option. The useful buying distinction is that it is a separate Special listing rather than simply another package size attached to the Original name. It gives returning Canadian Premium buyers an alternate product to compare without leaving the brand.
“Special” is also not a standardized strength tier. The product title does not call it Light, Ultra Light, Full Flavor, or Menthol. Choose it because you want the Canadian Premium Special product, not because you assume the word Special guarantees a particular draw or strength. This is especially important for buyers moving from brands with explicit colour or strength ladders.
If your current order is based on an exact tier, use a clearly labelled comparison. Rolled Gold Full Flavor Cigarettes and BB Full Flavor Cigarettes state their full-flavour position. Rolled Gold Light Cigarettes and BB Light Cigarettes state their light position. Canadian Premium Special is best treated as its own named choice.
Original vs Special: Direct Buying Comparison
The most reliable comparison uses the information visible in the catalogue rather than adding unsupported flavour descriptions. Both products belong to Canadian Premium. Both have their own published product page. Original is the baseline named product; Special is the alternate named product. Neither title declares a conventional strength or menthol tier.
QUICK MATCHING GUIDE Buying priority Start with Core Canadian Premium option Canadian Premium Original Alternate within the same brand Canadian Premium Special Clearly labelled full-flavour tier A product named Full or Full Flavor Clearly labelled light tier A product named Light or Lights Clearly labelled ultra-light tier A product named Ultra Light Clearly labelled menthol tier A product named Menthol Unsure between Original and Special Add both to a comparison order
The practical advantage of a two-product brand is that a direct comparison is manageable. You do not need to sort through four or five similarly named variants. If neither name answers your preference, the wider cigarette catalogue provides products with more explicit labels.
How to Choose Between Canadian Premium Original and Special
1. Start with the name you already know
If you have bought Canadian Premium before, match the complete product name rather than relying on the brand name alone. “Canadian Premium” does not distinguish Original from Special. Check the product title in your cart and order history so the intended variant is clear.
2. Use Original as the baseline when new to the brand
For a first comparison, Original is the natural baseline because it is explicitly the Original listing. Once you know whether it fits your order, the Special product becomes an easy second point of comparison. This approach is more useful than trying to guess the difference from product names alone.
3. Choose Special when you specifically want the alternate listing
Special is appropriate when you already know that product, want to compare both Canadian Premium options, or want a second Canadian Premium product in a mixed order. It should not be selected as a substitute for a labelled light or menthol product unless that is what you have independently decided from the product details.
4. Check the available package option before checkout
Online product availability and selectable package options can change. Open the current product page, review the available selection, confirm the quantity, and then add it to the cart. This is more reliable than using an old screenshot, remembered price, or past order as a statement of what is available today.
5. Compare both in one mixed order if needed
When the product names do not settle the choice, ordering both creates a direct brand comparison. Keep the quantities modest on the first order if your goal is evaluation rather than restocking. Record the full product names so the preferred option is easy to reorder later.
Clearly Labelled Full-Flavour Alternatives
Some buyers reach the Canadian Premium pages while searching for a full-flavour product. Because Original and Special do not state that tier in their titles, it is useful to compare products that do. BCO currently publishes several direct options:
- Classics Full Flavor Cigarettes
- Nexus Full Flavor Cigarettes
- Discount Full Flavor Cigarettes
- Rolled Gold Full Flavor Cigarettes
- BB Full Flavor Cigarettes
- Playfare Full Flavor Cigarettes
- Putters Full Flavor
- DK’s Full Cigarettes
These links do not imply that every full-flavour product is identical. They provide a catalogue filter based on explicit naming. The full-flavour cigarettes guide offers a broader brand comparison, while the cigarette strength levels guide explains how the catalogue’s named tiers fit together.
Clearly Labelled Light and Smooth Alternatives
If the priority is a product explicitly sold under a lighter or smooth label, the catalogue offers several alternatives whose names make that position clearer:
- Classics Lights Cigarettes
- Classics Extra Lights Cigarettes
- Nexus Light Cigarettes
- dM Smooth Cigarettes
- Rolled Gold Light Cigarettes
- BB Light Cigarettes
- Playfare Light Cigarettes
- Putters Light Cigarettes
- DK’s Light Cigarettes
The same rule applies: product naming is a useful first filter, not a claim that all products within a tier are interchangeable. Buyers comparing multiple brands can use the light cigarettes Canada comparison to review more of the available light-labelled catalogue in one place.
When a Menthol or Ultra-Light Label Is the Priority
Canadian Premium’s two product titles do not include Menthol or Ultra Light. Buyers who use either label as a firm requirement should move to a product that states it directly. Examples include Canadian Classics Ultra Blue, Canadian Ultra Lights, Playfare Ultra Light Cigarettes, Classics Menthol Cigarettes, and Discount Menthol Canadian Blend.
This does not make those products better or worse than Canadian Premium Original or Special. It means their catalogue names answer a different buying question. When a specific tier matters more than remaining within the Canadian Premium brand, explicit labels reduce uncertainty.
Building a Useful Canadian Premium Comparison Order
A comparison order should answer a clear question. Adding many unrelated products can make the result harder to interpret. Start with Canadian Premium Original and Special, then add one labelled reference only if it helps define what you are looking for.
- Add Canadian Premium Original.
- Add Canadian Premium Special Cigarettes.
- If needed, add one clearly labelled Full Flavor or Light product you already understand.
- Confirm each complete product name and package selection in the cart.
- Save the preferred exact product name for the next order.
For example, a buyer who normally chooses full-flavour products might add Nexus Full Flavor Cigarettes as the labelled reference. A buyer who normally chooses lighter listings might add Nexus Light Cigarettes. The reference is not there to predict Canadian Premium; it is there to keep the comparison tied to a familiar catalogue tier.
How Canadian Premium Fits the Wider BCO Catalogue
Canadian Premium occupies a simple place in the catalogue: one Original listing and one Special listing. That is different from multi-variant families such as Playfare, Canadian Classics, Canadian Cigarettes, or Classics. It is also different from one-product listings such as Canadian Goose Cigarettes.
The benefit of this structure is faster brand-level browsing. The limitation is that the product names do not create a clear strength ladder. Buyers can resolve that in one of two ways: compare Original with Special directly, or choose a different brand whose listing uses the exact Full Flavor, Light, Ultra Light, Smooth, or Menthol term they want.
For a directory view, use the Canadian cigarette brands A–Z directory. It is useful when the brand name is less important than seeing which product families and variants are currently represented across BCO.
Online Ordering Checklist
Before completing an online order, run through a short product-focused check. This avoids most preventable variant mistakes without turning checkout into a research project.
- Confirm the full title: Canadian Premium Original and Canadian Premium Special Cigarettes are separate products.
- Confirm the product page: Use the live listing rather than a search snippet or an old bookmark with incomplete details.
- Confirm the package selection: Check the currently available option before adding it to the cart.
- Confirm quantity: Review the cart line before checkout, especially when comparing both variants.
- Keep labelled references separate: A product called Light or Full Flavor is a comparison product, not proof that Original or Special belongs to that tier.
- Save the exact preferred name: This makes the next reorder direct.
When ready, browse the complete BCO shop or go directly to the cigarettes category. Both Canadian Premium products can be opened from their individual links in this guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Canadian Premium cigarette variants does BCO list?
BCO currently lists two published Canadian Premium products: Canadian Premium Original and Canadian Premium Special Cigarettes.
Is Canadian Premium Original labelled full flavour?
The published product title is Canadian Premium Original. The title does not include “Full Flavor.” If that exact label is required, choose or compare a product whose title states Full or Full Flavor directly.
Is Canadian Premium Special a light cigarette?
The published title does not include “Light.” Special identifies the separate Special product; it should not automatically be read as a standardized strength tier.
Does Canadian Premium have a menthol product?
Neither of the two current Canadian Premium product titles includes Menthol. Buyers looking specifically for that label can browse products such as Classics Menthol, Discount Menthol, Playfare Menthol, Rolled Gold Menthol, BB Menthol, Canadian Classics Menthol, or Canadian Menthol.
Should a first Canadian Premium order include Original or Special?
Original is the clearest baseline for someone new to the brand. A direct comparison order can include both Original and Special when the goal is to decide between the two products.
Where can I compare more Canadian cigarette brands?
Use the cigarette category for live product listings and the Canadian cigarette brands A–Z directory for a broader brand map. The full-flavour and light comparison guides are better starting points when strength terminology matters more than brand.
Final Choice: Original, Special, or a Labelled Alternative
Canadian Premium keeps the decision focused. Choose Canadian Premium Original when you want the brand’s baseline named option. Choose Canadian Premium Special Cigarettes when you want the separate Special product or already know it is your preference. Compare both when the names alone do not settle the decision.
If your purchase starts with an exact Full Flavor, Light, Ultra Light, Smooth, or Menthol requirement, use a product that states that term in its listing. That is the most direct way to turn a broad search for Canadian Premium cigarettes Canada into a clear catalogue choice. Shop all available products or open either Canadian Premium listing above to review the current order options.
