Mapacho Tabaco
This is the pure Mapacho powder, made from traditional "Mapacho masos", which are tightly bundled fermented dark leaves from the jungle in Iquitos, Peru. Juicy and fresh, are Mapacho Masos. It is an ellaborate and patient process to produce an absolutely dehydrated fine (100 micron) powder. The fresh and juicy masos were cut into small pieces, sundried, crushed, dehydrated, deveined, and then ground and sieved multiple times, to obtain the finest powder. This sacred, wholesome plant can bring profound clarity and help to remove negative energies. Mapacho is made from Nicotiana rustica, which is about 20 times stronger than our traditional Tabaco, Nicotiana tobacum (Stanfill et al. 2010). Indigenous tribes use Tabaco in ceremonies, to predict good weather, fishing or harvest, and for spiritual (e.g. vision quest, trance etc) and curing purposes (Wilbert 1987), but rarely for smoking. It is one of the oldest and most potent curing plants known to indigenous tribes. This powdered Mapacho is perfect for using in personal preparations. Mixed with ashes it becomes a powerful but stable Rapé similar to other traditional types produced by the indigenous tribes of South America. Perfect for those wishing to explore the possibilities of blending their own varieties, or to add a rounded and grounding twist to your favourite grey Rapé.
