10 Good Cheapest Cigarette Brands

  • 1. Lucky Strike

    Price: $49.55

    Lucky Strike's roasted tobacco blend delivers caramelized notes with hints of coffee, a legacy of its 1916 production method. The brand remains a value staple despite 2024's industry-wide price hikes.

  • 2. Newport

    Price: $54.40

    Newport dominates the menthol category with its signature icy flavor. Reynolds American's 2015 acquisition solidified its market position, though prices rose slightly this year.

  • 3. Marlboro Gold

    Price: $57.86

    Marlboro's mid-tier Gold variant offers classic flavor at a lower cost than premium Reds. The brand implemented a 3% price increase early 2024 but remains competitively priced.

  • 4. Winston

    Price: $70.15

    Winston's additive-free formula appeals to health-conscious smokers. Its global popularity offsets declining U.S. sales, keeping prices stable despite BAT's financial restructuring.

  • 5. Pall Mall

    Price: $70.57

    Known for extended burn time, Pall Mall costs $1-1.25 less than premium brands. RJ Reynolds' distribution network helps maintain its budget-friendly positioning.

  • 6. Camel

    Price: $73.85

    Camel's traditional blends offer consistent quality. The brand absorbed a 15-cent/pack wholesale increase but remains a top value choice internationally.

  • 7. Nat Sherman

    Price: $74.17

    Now produced by Phillip Morris USA, these formerly premium cigarettes became more accessible after Altria's 2020 restructuring.

  • 8. Liggett Select

    Price: $74.17

    Liggett's deep-discount brand saw an 8-cent increase in 2024 but still undercuts major competitors. Its 2017 redesign maintained cost efficiency.

  • 9. Kool

    Price: $79.28

    This historic menthol brand retains loyalists despite Newport's dominance. BAT's portfolio adjustments haven't significantly impacted its pricing.

  • 10. L&M

    Price: $83.89

    Phillip Morris International's second-best seller globally, L&M gained U.S. traction as a budget alternative. Recent Latin American demand helps stabilize prices.
