Cardiaque is a tobacco and alcohol brand in the HD Universe.
Description[]
Cardiaque products can be found for sale in 24/7, Rob's Liquor and Limited Service convenience stores around San Andreas.
Their alcohol is marketed as a five star "Fine Napoleon Brandy" on the label. Cardiaque Cigarettes are also a sponsor of Arena War events, where (like Redwood Cigarettes) they advertise their cigarettes as alternatives to vaping. Judging by the company's name and the Napoleon reference, it's very likely a French company.
In Grand Theft Auto Online, as part of The Contract, Lamar Davis wears a dark Cardiaque branded shirt. This shirt contains new info on the brand, revealing its likely founder at the top, Maurice Cardiaque, the year of establishment, 1734, and also that the drink is produced and bottled in Mexico.
The brand is possibly based on Davidoff, a Swiss company which produces tobacco products and cognac.
