Introducing OCB Organic
Republic Tobacco, the nation’s largest RYO/MYO
distributor, has introduced OCB Organic Hemp
Cigarette Papers nationwide. The paper is chlorine-
free and 100 percent organic, with 100 percent natural
Arabic gum. It is ultra-thin, giving smokers a slower
burning, full-bodied cigarette with minimal ash.
Packaging is printed with vegetable inks on recycled
cardboard. Available in 1 1/4 inch, single wide and
king size slims, 24-leaf booklets will initially be offered
as a 99 cent pre-priced consumer offer.
OCB Organic Hemp Cigarette Papers are packed 24
booklets per box with 40 boxes per case. A three-tier
counter display is available for merchandising, as well
as prepacked bowl displays. POP support includes
door decals, posters and corrugated signs. Republic
