Has to be 100% pure leaf tobacco. None of that cancer shit.

Yes, organic as well. I read that even pure leaf gets treated with ammonia.

I have stopped smoking cigarettes about a decade ago, but now seeing all the potential health benefits of tobacco, I'm thinking that smoking a cigar or two a week might not be a bad idea.

Grow your own tobacco. Grow your own kinnikinnik.

Now I get where my extra rone comes from the chewing of my baccy and the pack I smoke on top

Prolly not.

Thus, the objective of the present study was to examine the associations of smoking status and number of cigarettes smoked per day with total and free testosterone levels

[...]

Smoking men had 15% higher total and 13% higher free testosterone levels compared with men who never smoked.

Testosterone tends to increase risk driven behaviour and such which I think is the reason behind the correlation (not causation) between smoking and testosterone levels. Men smoke more than women.

Don't smoke, nigger faggots.

It goes deeper:

Smoking-attributed nicotine is known to inhibit aromatase enzyme activity, which catalyzes the conversion of androgens into estrogens [10].

Naturally, it makes it bad for women.

Less estrogen = more testosterone.

I haven’t really done a deep dive on this, so there may be conflicting sources, but quitting smoking apparently lowers testosterone for a period of time. If this is true, it gives credence to the OP

Although the study in the International Journal of Andrology notes a small drop in T in men who quit smoking, Brahmbhatt points out that the positive impact of quitting vastly outweighs this short lived side effect (1).

“If a man quits smoking he may have a slight drop in T levels— SLIGHT,” he says. Meaning: not enough to make a difference in his mood, libido, ability to build muscle, or energy levels.

Where would one get 'organic' tobacco without all the bullshit?

Somewhere like that or call around local shops and ask?

Probably best idea to call your local shop, or order online. I would message the online shop as well just to conform.
