Discount cigarettes have carved out a clear niche in the Canadian online market: a no-frills, value-priced lineup that delivers the same king-size format and the same three strength categories as the major brands, without the premium packaging tax. For shoppers who care about what is in the pack and not what is printed on the foil, the Discount brand is one of the easiest picks to make on the BCO shop.
This guide walks through every Discount SKU available on BCO, what each variant is actually like to smoke, how Discount compares to the rest of the value tier, and where it fits in a Canadian buyer’s rotation. By the end you should know which of the three Discount variants matches the kind of smoke you want and be ready to add a carton to your cart.
What the Discount Brand Is (and What It Is Not)
Discount is a Canadian-blend cigarette brand offered by Buycigsonline.co in three variants: Discount Full Flavor, Discount Lights Canadian Blend, and Discount Menthol Canadian Blend. The brand sits in the budget tier of the catalog, alongside Putters and the lower-priced SKUs in the DK’s and BB ranges.
A few things Discount is not:
- It is not a “light” brand by default. Only the Lights SKU is light; Full Flavor is a full-strength tobacco smoke.
- It is not a flavoured brand. There is one menthol SKU and two tobacco SKUs. No capsules, no click-balls, no flavoured options beyond menthol.
- It is not sold in slim or 100s formats. Every Discount SKU on BCO is a standard king-size soft pack.
If you want a flavoured capsule smoke, look at brands that offer them. If you want a slim or a 100s, see the pack sizes guide. Discount is for the buyer who wants straightforward king-size cigarettes in one of three classic strength categories, at a price noticeably below the catalog average.
The Discount Lineup at a Glance
Here is the full Discount family in the order most buyers explore it — start with the strength you smoke now and go from there:
SKU Strength Format Best For Discount Full Flavor Full Flavor King Size Smokers who want a rich, classic tobacco smoke Discount Lights Light King Size Smokers who prefer a smoother, lighter draw Discount Menthol Menthol King Size Smokers who want a cooling, fresh finish
All three are Canadian-blend SKUs, which matters if you are used to American-blend cigarettes from a US trip and want to know what to expect from a domestic Canadian option. Canadian blends tend to run a little milder in the tobacco character and a touch smoother on the draw than American blends — see the Canadian native cigarettes guide for the broader comparison.
Discount Full Flavor: The Anchor SKU
Discount Full Flavor is the brand’s anchor — the SKU most Discount buyers start with and the one most frequently reordered. It is a full-flavor king-size cigarette with a fuller tobacco taste, a noticeable body on the draw, and the kind of throat hit a regular full-flavor smoker expects.
Compared to the catalog’s other full-flavor kings, Discount Full Flavor comes in at a noticeably lower price point. If you currently smoke Canadian Cigarettes Full Flavor, DK’s Full Flavor, or Rolled Gold Full Flavor, the Discount version is a meaningful step down on price for a similar king-size format. The trade-off is on packaging presentation — Discount packs are plain and functional rather than glossy or foil-heavy.
Who Discount Full Flavor is right for:
- Regular full-flavor smokers who want a price-stable, king-size alternative to the mid-tier brands.
- Buyers stocking up multiple cartons and looking for the lowest per-stick price in the full-flavor tier.
- Smokers who want a Canadian-blend full-flavor option that is not one of the named “premium” brands.
If you have not smoked Discount before, a single carton is the lowest-risk way to test it against your current brand. Cartons give you enough sticks to get past the first-pack adjustment and into a fair comparison. See why bulk makes sense for the math on carton pricing in general.
Discount Lights Canadian Blend: For the Smoother Draw
Discount Lights Canadian Blend is the light-tar, light-taste option in the brand. It is a king-size cigarette with the smoother draw and lighter tobacco character most light-cigarette smokers expect. If you currently smoke Canadian Cigarettes Lights, DK’s Light, or any of the light variants in the Classics family, the Discount Lights SKU is the same category at a lower price point.
The “Canadian Blend” suffix on the SKU is worth pausing on. It signals a domestic-blend tobacco profile rather than an imported American-blend. In practice this means the Lights SKU has a slightly cleaner tobacco character on the inhale and a softer room note than an American-blend light. That is not a value judgement, just a description of what most buyers notice when they switch between blends. The light cigarettes Canada guide covers the wider category comparison.
Who Discount Lights is right for:
- Smokers who already prefer a light cigarette and want the most budget-friendly option in that category.
- Buyers transitioning down from a full-flavor who want a smoother everyday smoke.
- Anyone who smokes a light in a social setting where a lighter draw is preferable.
Discount Menthol Canadian Blend: The Cool Option
Discount Menthol Canadian Blend is the brand’s only flavoured option. It is a king-size menthol cigarette with the cooling sensation and the fresh finish most menthol smokers look for, again at the lower end of the catalog’s price range.
If you currently smoke BB Menthol, Rolled Gold Menthol, Canadian Cigarettes Menthol, Classics Menthol, or Playfare Menthol, the Discount Menthol SKU is the price-down alternative in the same category. The menthol effect is comparable — a noticeable cooling character on the draw and the exhale — and the tobacco base is the same Canadian blend used in the Lights SKU.
For a full walkthrough of menthol as a category — how the cooling works, what makes a menthol cigarette different from a flavoured capsule, and how Discount Menthol fits with the broader menthol lineup — see the menthol cigarettes Canada guide.
How Discount Compares to Other Budget Brands
Discount is one of three brands in the BCO value tier, alongside Putters and the lower end of the DK’s range. Knowing which one is right for your rotation comes down to three things: which strengths the brand offers, how the tobacco character compares, and which packs you find easier to find in the wild.
Discount vs Putters
Putters has two SKUs: Full Flavor and Light. Discount has three SKUs (adding Menthol). If you want a menthol option, Discount is the only choice between the two. If you only smoke full-flavor or light and you are price-shopping within the budget tier, both brands land in the same general price band — the right pick usually comes down to which pack you prefer and which you find smoother on the draw.
Discount vs DK’s
DK’s has two SKUs: Full Flavor and Light. DK’s is a step up from Discount in packaging and pricing — both still in the budget tier but DK’s commands a small premium. If the price is the deciding factor, Discount is the cheaper of the two. If you have smoked DK’s and prefer its tobacco character, the small price difference may be worth it. The DK’s brand spotlight covers the comparison in detail.
Discount vs the Rest of the Catalog
Outside the budget tier, the rest of the catalog — Canadian Cigarettes, Canadian Classics, Playfare, Rolled Gold, BB, Time, and so on — runs in the mid-tier price band. The differences between budget and mid-tier are packaging polish, brand name recognition, and small tobacco-profile nuances. The format, the king-size spec, the strength categories — all of that is the same. If the price matters more than the pack, the budget tier is a smart place to be. The cheap cigarettes Canada guide walks through the budget tier more broadly.
Which Discount Variant Should You Buy First?
If you already know what you smoke, the choice is simple: pick the matching variant from the lineup. If you are new to Discount or switching over from another brand, here is the shortest possible decision tree:
- You currently smoke a full-flavor king-size. Start with Discount Full Flavor. It is the brand’s anchor SKU and the closest in category to what you already smoke.
- You currently smoke a light king-size. Start with Discount Lights Canadian Blend. The smoother draw is the point of the SKU.
- You currently smoke a menthol king-size. Start with Discount Menthol Canadian Blend. Same menthol category, lower price than the mid-tier menthol brands.
- You smoke flavoured capsules or slims. Discount does not make those. Look at the broader catalog — see the pack sizes guide for slims and the most popular brands list for capsule options.
Buying Discount Cigarettes Online from BCO
All three Discount SKUs are available by the carton directly from the Buycigsonline.co shop. The first-time buyer’s guide covers the ordering process end to end if you have not ordered from BCO before, and the bulk buying guide covers how to stack savings when you are buying more than one carton at a time.
Two practical notes on ordering Discount specifically:
- Carton pricing is the move. Every Discount SKU is cheaper per stick by the carton than by the pack. If you are already considering switching to Discount as your daily smoke, the carton math pays off within a week.
- Mix and match across variants. The full discount applies to a mixed-variant carton order, so you can build a three-SKU rotation (Full Flavor + Lights + Menthol) in a single shipment.
Where Discount Fits in the Canadian Online Catalog
Looking at the broader BCO catalog, Discount is one of three brands specifically positioned at the budget buyer:
Brand SKUs Strengths Flavoured? Discount 3 Full Flavor, Lights, Menthol Menthol only Putters 2 Full Flavor, Light No DK's 2 Full Flavor, Light No
Putters and DK’s run a little smoother on the draw for some smokers; Discount has the menthol option the other two budget brands lack. None of the three are flavoured beyond menthol — for capsule or fruit-flavour options you have to step up to the mid-tier brands like Playfare or Time.

Final Word
The Discount brand is what it says it is: a no-frills, king-size, three-strength Canadian blend at a budget price. Discount Full Flavor is the anchor for full-flavor smokers, Discount Lights Canadian Blend is the smoother everyday draw, and Discount Menthol Canadian Blend is the budget menthol option. All three are available now by the carton at the BCO shop.
If you have smoked Discount before and have a preferred variant, go straight to the product page and add a carton to your cart. If you have not, pick the variant that matches your current strength category and try a single carton. Most buyers reorder.
