Since the introduction of OCB Virgin Slim Paper & Tips to Tesco in May, sales of the brand have experienced substantial growth. The product's unique proposition lies in providing consumers with an all-natural rolling paper for a smoother smoke. OCB Virgin Paper is an unbleached paper with a natural brown colour and offers the highest level of rolling paper quality. OCB is made from 100% wood and manufactured to the highest standards to offer a silky touch, lightweight feel, and premium quality rolling paper. Each leaf is gummed with OCB natural acacia gum and is sustainably sourced from African acacia trees. This gum is 100% natural, vegetarian, GM-free, and renowned for its effectiveness.
Priced at €2, the product contains 32 Virgin Paper slim sheets and 32 integrated cardboard cigarette filters. The filters are pre-cut and perforated, ensuring a convenient rolling experience and allow smokers to effortlessly roll filter cigarettes without the hassle of multiple boxes. Every sheet in the range maintains incomparable quality, featuring natural acacia gum and a watermark crafted with special care to guarantee the best transparency.
Distributed in Ireland by Ampersand since November 2012, the OCB brand has experienced significant sales growth over the last few years particularly since the launch of OCB Virgin as consumers actively seek out more natural and sustainably sourced products and the best possible rolling experience.
