No Additive, Tribal Owned Tobacco? (lemm.ee)

Any recommendations for additive-free and tribal owned tobacco to look out for?

Much of the native and tribal owned brands I've found don't specify no additive, as far as I was able to see.

Any suggestions or direction is appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Both are Native-owned, but I don't know anything about additives and their websites don't seem to have any details:

Signal Tobacco

King Mountain

I've never tried either, though. Signal Tobacco has a decent selection but King Mountain is just cigarettes. Maybe someone else knows about the additives situation.

If you want just pure cured leaves, one non-Native tobacco business I do patronize is Whole Leaf Tobacco. Their stuff is about as unprocessed as you can get. They're also the only place I've found online that actual carries traditionally made & sourced perique. The only downside may be that they sell in kinda large quantities (I think my smallest order was 4 oz).

Hm. I came across both of these. I might just need to contact one or more of these Tribes and ask there if no one is quite sure.

I haven't seen Whole Leaf Tobacco before. I was hoping to find something at a shop nearby. So, was just going to keep an eye out for whatever suggestions I got.

Crossing my fingers for a late commenter to save the day.

Thank you for all your help. If I end up ordering online, I'll look at Whole Leaf. It sounds interesting. I really appreciate it.
