Tobacco brands/recommendations?

I'm not here to start a debate on smoking health or if organic tobacco is safer etc, I'm just looking for something relatively "additive free" like American Spirits or Northfields (Canada companies) mainly for taste reasons. Don't know if I trust "additive free" written on the boxes here.

Never bought smokes here before, see a million choices, don't know where to start. Don't mind buying dried leaf and paper and rolling my own too.

Smokers, thank you in advance

I don't smoke but I'd say that stuff the locals smoke must be pretty natural. Sold in the markets for around $10 per kg.
Smoke it wrapped in banana leaf or leaves of certain trees (don't know their names).
It might kill you but it won't bankrupt you.

I'm actually trying to use it on the altar in place of incense near the door for some mosquito repellent because I can't stand the smell of incense or those Raid coils. Hate the smell of commercial cigs too, that's why I was looking for just regular leaves.

Couldn't find anything "additive free" in a box so I bought some Cambodian stuff at a local market, have to admit it didn't taste or smell that good in comparison to smokes I've had way back when. Oh well, $5 for a bag and some rolling paper, can't complain, smells better than incense and it's keeping the bugs at bay so far.

I tried one of those locally rolled cigarettes once and nearly choked to death.

It's been the space of two decades since I've lit up so I didn't want to say anything definitive, but my first thoughts were along the lines of "This shit seems awful..."

Took a single hit to taste and thought the same thing... Guess I'm not alone.
