I'm very skeptical of Natural American Spirits. With their "organic" tobacco, how does one know how it is certified? Sure, it may have been grown without pesticides/fertilizers, etc, but is it chemically dried like other tobacco? How is it processed? In my state (maybe even the US), cigarettes are required to be flame retardant so this automatically says that there is some kind of chemical in their cigarettes. I think a lot of people think these cigs are better for you because they taste "less harsh" but in my opinion, this is only because the cigs are packed so tight. If the tobacco is more loose, it is a lot more harsh.
Sorry there really was no point in this post, I just wanted to rant about about Natural American Spirits. It pisses me off how they market their products as "natural" and "organic". If anyone has anything to say to back up these cigarettes, I'm all ears.
As for organic tobacco, this is something I'm interested in finding as well. Its just so hard to find "organic" tobacco because there is no way to certify it like the usda does with produce.
mescaline-man, thanks for the info on that tree tobacco. I really need to quit smoking, I just need to find the motivation to lol.
