Revised RYO Portfolio

08/26/2009

In light of the recent tax increases on tobacco products, Commonwealth Brands, Inc., an Imperial Tobacco Group company and the fourth largest tobacco company in the U.S., has announced that it has revised its portfolio of finely crafted loose tobacco. The brands, McClintock, Rave and Premier, have all undergone a modification to offer consumers the best value for their money at this crucial time. The improved tobacco provides MYO/RYO consumers a greater cost saving by allowing them to make more cigarettes per ounce than they would with traditional loose tobacco. "Commonwealth Brands recognizes the effects customers and consumers are feeling from the tax increase," says Tim Jones, vice president of marketing for Commonwealth Brands.　"Our new, enhanced tobacco consistently performed better when tested against other tobacco brands and is sure to be eagerly welcomed among MYO/RYO consumers." Commonwealth's existing Premier, McClintock and Rave brands will be offered in Full Flavor, Light Taste and Menthol flavors; Rave will be available in Menthol Light Taste and Ultra Light Taste.　Each of the brands is available in medium and large bags.　Each brand also offers tubes that are available in varying styles.
