Is there such a thing as a premium, great tasting cigarette that isn’t made with chemicals and additives? I wouldn’t mind smoking 1-2 on the weekend as a little treat.

Balkan Sobranie and/or Dunhill but we’re about 40 to 60 years too late. ?
Nat Shermans but I think those are done too.
Sadly, this thread is against the terms of the website. I feel your pain but such is the wish of our magnanimous overlord.
EDIT: Never mind. I re-read the rules and as it is, this is not banned.

My wife loved Davidoff Magnums but you have to order them from overseas and it takes 6-8 weeks.
Gawith and Hoggarth do some good RYO tobacco in the UK. They do a variety of strengths/blends.
If I were to roll my own, I’d probably use Le petit robin or something from d&r
Edit: I just remembered that SG Grousemoor bulk is a really fine cut. I’d use that. ?

My buddy still gets dunhill cigs from a local B&M. I tried one and the retohale tasted just like dunhill flake.
I haven’t smoked them in almost a decade, but I’d vote Davidoff. If they weren’t taxed beyond comprehension I still would. From my recollection they were a good quality bright virginia, smooth smoke. YMMV of course.
My other favourites were Camels unfiltered, which were polar opposites to the Davidoff’s of course.

among US Cigarettes my favorite were Lucky Strike unfiltered and Old Gold straights
Ahhh yeah Lucky’s, used to buy them for $7 something or other back in the day. I enjoyed them, but i really was drawn to the brand and packaging style to be honest
Now we have plain packaging for some reason ?
Anybody remember the old Lucky Strike slogan... “LSMFT.....LSMFT! Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco.” (They used to do this bit on the Jack Benny Program?)
This may be a dumb question, is smoking a pipe tobacco going to wreck my lungs / throat?
Does smoking cigarette tobacco?
If you want some old cutter top tins of great cigarettes between 50 - 70 years old I know a fellow with a carton of John Player Navy Cuts (12 tins of 50 cigarettes each). I have several other kinds but was thinking of trying the Players.
Before cigarettes became a pre-rolled commodity, men without enough time to smoke a whole pipe would roll their tobacco into a French paper. Tobacco was tobacco. But, I'm not sure when inhaling the smoke was started as an encouragement.
RYO bagged tobaccos, labelled pipe tobacco, like OHM and D&R, are natural leaf.
American Spirits are also a natural tobacco also.
The main difference between pre-rolled cigarettes tobaccos and all other tobaccos is that the cigarette manufacturers have to control nicotine and tar content as per government regulations, so they press the juices from the tobaccos, reformulate it and then rehydrate the cellulose of the leaf back with the mixture.
So, tobacco is tobacco, period. But, whether you want to delude yourself into thinking that any tobacco inhaled directly into your lungs is better or worse... is your call. I think we've learned from the vape industry that there is no safe alternative when it comes to your lungs.
