so i have a had theory on dutch tobacco (the tobacco, you usually throw away, that you gut from a cigar, to roll weed in). now i always hear people say that it is bad tobacco, or that is has pieces of card board in it, etc. but obviously, since the tobacco is sold in a cigar to smoke (and not to gut for weed) the tobacco inside cant possibly be any worse than your average cigarette. so i hate waste, and i happen to love smoking my weed with tobacco, so i always felt bad when i would through away dutch guts just to later gut open a cigarette when i wanted to roll a spliff. so since i came to the conclusion that dutch guts cant be any worse than cigarettes, i now smoke the guts i usually throw away, and no longer even buy cigarettes (was never a fan of smoking tobacco alone). this has saved me a lot of money, since i smoke my fair share of blunts.
now the point of this thread is that i have done some thinking. to my knowledge, the reason the government is allowed to tax cigarettes so heavily is because of their "recipe". the government cant tax just rolled tobacco, because its a man made consumable, so they put in all kinds of chemicals so they can. in turn these chemicals make the tobacco in cigarettes a hundred times worse. now convenient store cigars, of any brand, aren't more than a dollar or 2 and are taxed normally (7 cents on the dollar). so by this logic wouldn't that mean that dutch guts have less if not none of the chemicals cigarettes have. they sure do taste and smell much fresher (in mine and many others i've asked opinion) than cigarettes, and i've noticed their much less messier and don't leave as much residue as cigarette tobacco, now (if you couldn't tell by my constant using the word dutch) i really only smoke dutchmasters (palma to be exact) and i notice that the dutchmaster guts are very leafy and full looking, they have a lot of stems and veins, and they feel and "break-up" more "natural" where as cigarette tobacco (along with some other convenient store cigars) are shredded, no organic signs (like stems and veins), and feel and smell very artificial.
now, don't get me wrong, smoking tobacco (smoking anything) isn't good for you. tobacco especially, smoking WILL give you cancer, damage lung tissue and brain function etc. i know all that. however what i want to know is if convenient store cigar guts (dutchmaster especially) are any better or worse than cigarette tobacco. by better i mean health-wise, weather it has less chemicals, if it is more natural or of a higher quality, or if it is actually worse in some way, basically give me any advantages/disadvantages of smoking dutch tobacco vs cigarette tobacco
