It is important to understand exactly what you want from consumption. For those who just like to taste the taste of tobacco smoke, budget versions of the product are suitable. If you are looking for relaxation, then you can try a more expensive option with strong tobacco. In case you prefer fruit, berry, coffee or chocolate flavors, it would be wise to choose a flavored version.
The Dangers of Flavored Tobacco
It is difficult to assess the harmfulness of cigarette tobacco with different flavors. The compositions of flavors are the know-how of manufacturers and their composition is not disclosed to consumers. Therefore, the buyer can only rely on the strength of his health.
But not all companies use chemistry in cigarette tobacco production. Natural tastes, such as apple or coffee, can be recreated using natural extracts. If naturalness of flavorings is important for you, then look for the inscription Nature or Organic on the package.
Consumer opinion
Choosing such an unusual product, you should first familiarize yourself with consumer reviews. Cigarette tobacco of different types leaves buyers with a completely different impression. This is a very individual thing. To some, a separate brand may seem tart and fragrant, while others will feel bitterness and excessive strength.
If we talk about special cases, then the tobacco brand "Samara Makhorka", according to reviews, is an inexpensive product with tolerant quality, but each package is filled with a third of dry tobacco stems that can not be used in cigarettes. Or German Ashford, which is a premium product, is often overdried, forcing customers to moisten it with a spray bottle.
How not to buy a fake?
Manufacturers are constantly fighting counterfeit products. But fakes still penetrate the market. Remember that you can’t buy a package if there is no excise stamp on it.
It is important to know that eminent manufacturers protect their products with special holograms. An example of this is the Danish cigarette tobacco manufacturer Mac Baren.
Summing up, we can conclude that this product is suitable for connoisseurs of smoking culture, as well as for consumers who value the individuality of the product.
