I use Mapacho I have grown myself. I also use Singado which is a medicine of mapacho tea up the nose.
My homegrown organic mapacho through a pipe far surpasses even additive-free cigarettes for me.
Very easy plant to grow by the way.
Drop seeds on dirt in spring, grows like a weed.
wait for leaves to turn yellow when winter kills plant.
hang leaves to dry in a warm, moist place.
Fuck dependence on corporations,
which sell a botched, disgraced "tobacco" product tainted with greed.
Common tobacco or N. Tobacum can produce a dizzing, disorientating buzz if smoked too fast.
Mapacho probably could too, if overdone, but I have not experienced it.
Although Mapacho is said to have way higher quantities of nicotine, it is not a physically harsher experience.
It has a deeper, more centered, longer-lasting buzz for me. It is like a clear-headed high. A sort of glow.
It is also said to be higher in harmalas. I think this balances out the buzz. helps make it stronger, deeper medicine.
If you are going to use tobacco may I recommend you read the first 2 posts here:

The strongest effect is the sense of CLARITY after use. Some Singado reading here:

Use through the nasal passageways is a potent route of administration. Even stronger if swallowed. Tread consciously.
