Shag tobacco is much better. Also decreases the chance of a hot piece falling out and burning a hole in your shirt or couch.
Tobacco and weed is a European thing. We don't pollute the holy herb with that in America lol. When I think of tobacco I think of ciggerets. I've smoked some joints like that and the high is different but I think of my nurse mother. I already make her sad enough with the weed smoking. I can't smoke cigarettes too. Hash is sprinkled into a bowl of weed in my world. The bubble hash or whatever you want to call what is not butane hash. Hash that is extracted with natural methods.
Cig tobacco can hardly be called tobacco anymore. Tear up a cig and compare it to the tobacco in a bag of Drum for example. You'll understand right away
