Yellowknife carries some of the highest tobacco prices in Canada — territorial tax plus air and winter-road freight puts cartons at roughly $190–$230 at retail. Ours start at $17.25 and ship at the same flat rate we charge to Toronto. As with the Yukon, treat the local retail range as approximate; territorial pricing is not published the way provincial rates are.
Canada Post takes about 7–14 business days to Yellowknife, longer in deep winter. Free shipping over $250 makes bulk ordering the sensible approach this far north. The NWT's legal tobacco age is 19, confirmed by government 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 Yellowknife retailer runs about $190–$230 once Northwest Territories 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 Yellowknife 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 Yellowknife?
At a Yellowknife retailer, roughly $190–$230 once Northwest Territories 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.
Can you ship beyond Yellowknife into the smaller NWT communities?
Where Canada Post has a route, yes — Hay River, Fort Smith, Inuvik, Norman Wells and the fly-in communities. Timelines get long and genuinely unpredictable: two to four weeks is realistic, and a weather delay can add to it. We will ship it and track it, but we will not promise a date. For anywhere off the highway system, order well ahead and order plenty.
How long does delivery to Yellowknife take?
7–14 business days is typical for Yellowknife and the wider Northwest Territories 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 Yellowknife?
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 Northwest Territories — and Canada Post verifies government-issued photo ID at the door.
Can I buy menthol cigarettes in Yellowknife?
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 Yellowknife like anything else on the shelf.
