1/2oz Mapacho

Origin: Native to the lush Amazon rainforest and the Andean highlands, Mapacho is the ancestral "Grandfather" tobacco of South America. Unlike commercial tobacco, it is a wild, organic species (Nicotiana rustica) containing up to nine times more nicotine and a rich complex of harmala alkaloids, making it a potent "Master Plant" in the eyes of indigenous traditions.

Traditional Use: For over 8,000 years, Mapacho has been the primary tool for Amazonian shamans. It is rarely inhaled like a standard cigarette; instead, it is used as a ceremonial smudge or offering. The smoke is blown over the body or around a room to clear stagnant energy, create a protective shield, and carry prayers to the spirit world. It is considered the ultimate "grounder"—the medicine that anchors the soul back into the body, sharpens focus, and provides a direct line of communication with the forest's wisdom.
