Following the launch of Lambert & Butler’s first dip into the roll-you-own (RYO) category, Imperial Tobacco has introduced a new combi pouch for Riverstone.

Riverstone Combi Pouch comes with 30g of tobacco, 60 papers and 60 filters and has an RRP of £11.

As value for money continues to be a focus for many smokers, the economy RYO segment continues to grow and now accounts for 45% of fine cut tobacco sales, compared to 38.3% last year.

Chris Street, market manager at Imperial Tobacco, said: “The handy box formats currently available on the market tend to compress the tobacco inside, making it difficult to separate and roll.
