Natural American Spirit

Do any of you guys like Natural American Spirit smokes?
They are 100% Additive-Free Tobacco and claim to have 25% more tobacco in each cigarette/pack. I have heard people say they burn slower too. ![:shrug: :shrug:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/shrug.gif)
Today I bought my first pack of American Spirit and I bought a pack Menthol Mellow taste due to the recommendation from the girl behind the counter. She said the other menthol flavors are really strong, and are too strong to a lot of people, and she was flirting a bit so I said fuck it and took her advice.

The smoke is really nice, maybe not as strong of a buss as other brands but they are very relaxing and fun. I do think I would enjoy a stronger menthol taste though, but the mellow one is nice.
I just like to smoke cigarettes when I am very stoned and/or on benzos or something else ![:feelsgoodman: :feelsgoodman:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/feelsgoodman.gif)
Or I enjoy a smoke after jerking it or a big meal.
The only downside about this great brand? ![:aliceshocker: :aliceshocker:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/aliceshocker.gif)
![:aweshit: :aweshit:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/aweshit.gif)
They are a couple bucks more expensive.
But I did get a sticker in that pack that says it is good for two free packs of Natural American Spirit for only 2$ Seems too good to be true

If I smoke they're my go to. They definitely last longer than 99% of cigs out there. I don't smoke the menthols though

Oh yeah? That's cool. I guess they really do burn slower, didn't notice it as much since I was smoking Pall Mall Menthol 100s and I don't think any American Spirits are 100s.
What are you up to?
Might have to go for a cig in a bit now.

Nice!
I had a few more cigs and couple bowls. I like this brand but I wish they had a stronger buzz. Maybe I just need to get used to the lower nicotine level.
Or maybe some of the additives in other cigarette is what causes some of the dizzy buzz
GOT to sleep now. Have to smoke another bowl first it looks like.
Goodnight.

I'm trying to sleep to, kind of. I don't get a buzz from cigs. That ended a very long time ago.

Unfortunately in the US of A (God Bless),
all cigarettes including American Spirits are fire-safe, and therefore are not completely "additive free."

I used to buy camel crushes because I love love strong menthol. The only place to get smokes around here are stores run by the Indians so they don't sell branded cigs anymore. I might snag a pack of these today if they're cheap enough.

From what I learned when I was rolling my own, American Spirit tobacco has about 36% freebase nicotine whereas typical brands are from 1% to 9% What's funny is "To freebase nicotine, cigarette companies add ammonia, usually in the form of diammonium phosphate. The addition of ammonia, a base, de-protonates nicotine, making it cross through membranes in the body much more easily. This makes the drug more "bioavailable" to the lungs, brain and tissues. Because ammonia is also a base (negatively charged), it strips away protons from nicotine, turning it into "freebase" form. Scientists have collected the nicotine in cigarette smoke with filters, exposed it to ammonia, and measured how different concentrations of ammonia affect the ratios of protonated to "freebase" nicotine in cigarette smoke. Studies suggest that adding ammonia has a substantial effect on the amount of freebase nicotine contained in cigarette smoke." So it's strange that American Spirits are so strong.

Nah, I'm pretty sure that's not true. The cigarette companies were ADDING chemicals to keep cigs burning. My additive free cigs have always stopped burning on their own if I stopped smoking them. Nat Shermans and Natural Spirit.

It's strange because other companies use additives to make freebase nicotine so it's odd that the additive free brand has the most freebase nicotine of them all.
