Absolutely. I smoked American Spirits before I went back to ryo, because I can't stand the packaged brands other than Dunhill International and the Rjr nonfilter offerings, which use the original blends and high quality tobacco. You have to roll them in your fingers to loosen them up to improve the draw cause they're so stuffed. I do this trick with my ryo too, because my Powermatic has a tendency to inject too tight. Scissors, cutting up the baccy helps beyond measure. American Spirits are the only cigs that are ryo or myo quality, and the Blacks and Blues are fantastic, but my Vengeur and Windsail Platinum are fantastic affordable options for us. Vengeur matches the US oriental vabur blends that were so popular in the Golden daze of bacco.
We did smoke Winston's which are touted as additive free but taste foul and my gf reported side effects when she had to get a few packs when Windy Shi**y Cigars dropped the ball on shipping our order promptly.
In 1913 Reynolds made the first modern cigarette, Camels.
After the break up of Duke’s monopoly in 1911, leaf prices rebounded to about ten cents a pound, which would be just over $3 a pound today.
The big tobacco companies could take 30 cents worth of leaf and roll out a thousand cigarettes that sold for $4.75 per thousand retail.
And then along came an advertising genius, Edward Bernays.

Over time, brands like Player’s were no longer major players.

We pipe smokers are collateral casualties in the do gooder’s war against Big Tobacco.
But Little Tobacco can still supply the original aged leaf, thanks in part to the “deeming rule”.
Many of the value brands wear old brand labels.
