Patricia, if you ever travel to the USA, you are allowed to bring back tobacco. If I had the $ to travel to a large city there, I would do so, and bring back a year's supply of my lovely, pure tobacco cigs. Because it is just a matter of time before the bureaucrats who control this country will make it illegal to do so. If you have never smoked additive-free tobacco, you will notice the difference, though they do require getting used to, I'm told. Additive-free were the first kind I ever smoked and then when I tried the regular kak, I simply couldn't smoke them. But the reverse is not true.
