Brand Player's (Canadian versions)


Cigarettes P

In Canada, Player's cigarettes (formerly manufactured by Imperial Tobacco in Montreal) have been among the most popular brands of the past half-century. The brand started out with Player's Medium and Player's Mild (both unfiltered); Player's Filter was introduced in 1962 in regular size (75 mm), and in king size in 1966. Around this time, the name of Player's Mild was changed to Player's Plain.

Player's Medium was discontinued sometime in the mid-1970s. The brand family was expanded by the introduction of Player's Light in 1976, and with Player's Extra Light in regular and king size in 1980 and 1983, respectively. A new version of Player's Medium (filter tipped, and with a "tar" rating falling between the Filter and Light varieties) was rolled out in 1988.

Smooth Player's Light (reputedly smoother than Player's Light) debuted in 1992, followed by the introduction of Player's Premiere in 1997. The latter brand had a chamber in the filter tip which contained seminola and charcoal granules; it did not last for very long. Player's Silver was introduced in 2003; it was named "Silver" (instead of Ultra Light) since there was discussion by the government at that time about banning light/mild discriptors from cigarette packaging.

The above-mentioned banning of light and mild discriptors occurred in 2008, which led to a substantial pruning of the Player's brand family. Player's Filter was renamed Player's Original Flavour, Player's Light was renamed Player's Rich Flavour, and Player's Extra Light was renamed Player's Smooth Flavour. Player's Medium, Smooth Player's Light and Player's Silver were discontinued. Also of note in 2008 was Imperial Tobacco's ceasing of Canadian manufacturing activities; today, all of Imperial's brands (including Player's) are made in Mexico and shipped to Canada for sale.
