GLENVIEW, Ill. -- Republic Tobacco L.P., the nation's largest roll-your-own and make-your-own distributor is introducing OCB Premium Cigarette Papers to select markets. OCB is the best-selling premium cigarette paper brand in Europe.

Redesigned for the American market, OCB will initially be available in the most popular 1-1/4 size. Geared toward the contemporary adult market, the new OCB packaging has an edgy and modern look.

Brand manager Jessica Bickett characterized the new OCB paper by saying, "With a series of six different booklets appearing at random in each [image-nocss] boxfeaturing three striking models and six fun phrasesOCB Premium is sure to get attention at retail."

The paper is all natural, made with pure cellulose and natural Arabic gum. It is ultra thin, giving smokers a slower-burning, ash-free and full-bodied cigarette.
