All South American shamans have an intimate relationship with Tabaco, and consider it a very sacred, wholesome plant that is deeply entrenched in their culture and rites. Tabaco consumed in high amounts has strong psychedelic and hallucinogenic effects, as it contains two alkaloids, harman and norharman, which are closely related to harmine and harmaline (Janiger et al. 1973). These two beta-carbolines inhibit monoamine oxidase (Herraiz et al. 2005), leading to antidepressive and uplifting effects (Farzin 2006).

​In addition to Ayahuasca rituals that are combined with Tabaco snuffs, there are even shamans that specialized in Tabaco healing, called tobaqueros (Jauregui et al. 2011). When used in shamanic rituals, Tabaco is assumed to protect, cleans and re-align energies, thereby bringing profound clarity and healing (Jauregui et al. 2011). Furthermore, South American shamans, commonly use Tabaco smoke to blow it over the person to be healed with the intention to bring their energies into equilibrium and clean out all negativity and anxiety (i.e. ‘sopladas’ – the healing energy of blowing) (Jauregui et al. 2011). Thus, Tabaco in the shamanistic culture has a potent function of cleansing, bringing clarity and focus, and for allowing strong visualisations.

Juicy and fresh, are Brazilian "Tabaco de Moy" Maso, when they arrive. It is an elaborate and patient process to produce an absolutely dehydrated fine (125 micron) powder.

The seeds of this special kind of Tabaco have been passed down from father to son over generations and it belongs to the widely known species of Nicotiana rustica. Yet there is no commonly known name attached to it, but it could be compared to Mapacho, for it looks very similar.

The "Tabaco de Moy“ maso is longer than the Mapacho maso and also it is much more dense in its structure. The leaves appear to be a bit darker as well as they have been put through the process of fermentation. It has been organically grown in the jungles of Brazil. Chemicals are not necessary as Tabaco itself is a great fertiliser and commonly used insecticide among the farmer communities.

After the harvest the largest veins of the leaves are removed, then dried and rolled up. The farmers then wrap the bunch of Tabaco leaves up with a strip of natural latex or rubber and these bundles will then be left for half a year up to a whole year to mature and ferment. This way of storing and keeping the Tabaco is very specific for the area of Acre in Brazil. In other regions the farmers use ropes to tighten the bundle of Tabaco leaves together. This Tabaco is traditionally used for Rapè, as in the ranges of Acre there is a lot of cultural background for the use of Rapè.
