Victoria pays BC's tobacco tax plus the cost of getting everything across the strait, and cartons at retail land around $150–$185. Ours start at $17.25 and the ferry is our problem rather than yours — shipping is the same flat rate to the Island as to downtown Toronto.
Canada Post typically takes 5–7 business days to Victoria and the southern Island — Saanich, Sidney, Langford, Duncan, Nanaimo — a little longer than the Lower Mainland because of the crossing. Free over $250 and tracked the whole way. BC's legal tobacco age is 19, verified by photo ID at delivery.
We are a real storefront at 7147 Indian Line Rd on Six Nations of the Grand River — not a drop-shipper. Every brand on this page is stocked on our own wall and sent out from the counter.
A carton at a Victoria retailer runs about $150–$185 once British Columbia tobacco tax is on it. Every tier on our wall comes in under that — including the premium brands — because no provincial tobacco tax is applied to a sale made on Six Nations territory. Here is the same carton from us:
| Tier | Brands | Carton |
|---|---|---|
| Value cartonabout $1.73 a pack | Canadian, Canadian Menthol, Playfare's, DK's | $17.25 |
| Mid cartonabout $2.30 a pack | BB, Canadian Goose, Pop n Smoke | $23.00 |
| Flavoured cartonabout 20¢ a cigarette | Canadian Crush — Cherry, Grape, Tropical Splash | $40.25 |
| Premium cartonabout $7.00 a pack | Oakdale, Putters, DK's Premium | $70.00 |
Prices rotate with the shelf — the live cigarette page is always current.
Flavoured smokes ship too: Canadian Crush in Cherry, Grape and Tropical Splash, $40.25 a carton of 200 — the crush-ball flavours Victoria can't buy at any store in town. Plus Canadian Menthol at $17.25 a carton — still legal to buy on territory after the 2017 retail ban.
How much is a carton of cigarettes in Victoria?
At a Victoria retailer, roughly $150–$185 once British Columbia tobacco tax is applied. From our counter on Six Nations territory, cartons start at $17.25 for value brands, $23.00 mid-range and $70.00 for premium brands like Oakdale and Putters — the same two hundred cigarettes either way.
Do you ship to the smaller Vancouver Island and Gulf Island communities?
Yes — anywhere Canada Post goes, including Port Alberni, Campbell River, Courtenay, Tofino and the Gulf Islands. Expect to add a few days beyond the Victoria estimate, and on the smaller islands the parcel often waits at the local post office for pickup rather than coming to a door. Same flat shipping rate regardless; only the timeline moves.
How long does delivery to Victoria take?
5–7 business days is typical for Victoria and the wider Vancouver Island area, by tracked Canada Post. Orders over $250 ship free, and there is a paid Xpresspost upgrade at checkout if you need it sooner.
Is it legal to buy native cigarettes in Victoria?
Healing Room is an Indigenous-owned retailer operating on Six Nations of the Grand River territory, where the Haudenosaunee tobacco trade has run for generations. We sell to adults of legal age — 19+ in British Columbia — and Canada Post verifies government-issued photo ID at the door.
Can I buy menthol cigarettes in Victoria?
Yes. Menthol left mainstream Canadian retail in 2017, but the ban does not reach sales on Six Nations territory. Canadian Menthol is $17.25 a carton and ships to Victoria like anything else on the shelf.
