Classic Additive Free Hand Rolling Tobacco is a traditional blend of American Virginia tobaccos, grown under completely natural conditions by American Indians. Like all tobacco, this high-quality blend contains natural nicotine. However, the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides is not permitted during the growing and harvesting of our tobacco leaves. This philosophy is maintained during the manufacturing process. They do not add moisture retainers, preservatives, or other chemicals to Pueblo's fine-cut tobacco. Additive-free tobacco contains nicotine but none of the other chemicals that you may find in your standard packet of cigarettes.
