LD (Liggett Ducat) Cigarettes

LD, which stands for Liggett Ducat, is a prominent international cigarette brand. The product shown features branding and a Canadian UPC (060100) indicating it is intended for the en-CA market. The packaging identifies JTI-Macdonald Corp., located in Montreal, as the entity responsible for the product in Canada. LD was originally established in Russia in 1999 following the acquisition of the Liggett-Ducat factory by the Gallaher Group.

Today, the brand is part of the extensive portfolio of Japan Tobacco International (JTI). While the brand has global origins, the specific units sold in Canada are manufactured domestically by JTI-Macdonald Corp. at their production facilities in Montreal, Quebec. The ultimate ownership lies with Japan Tobacco Inc., a global tobacco leader headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, which operates its international division through JTI.
