Mirage of the Mind tobacco (Brazil) 🇧🇷

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share some pictures of a Brazilian rolling tobacco I’ve been trying: Mirage of the Mind.

It comes in a resealable zip-lock pouch, which is a nice touch for storage. The tobacco looks fairly fine-cut, with a light to medium brown color and some variation in the strands. I’m using Smoking Slim Long filters (22 mm).

After trying it, I found the aroma to be mild and slightly sweet, with a subtle earthy note. The tobacco feels reasonably moist without being overly wet, making it easy to roll and helping it burn at a steady pace. The draw is smooth, and the smoke is relatively light, with a balanced flavor that does not feel too harsh.

On the palate, I noticed gentle woody and toasted notes, followed by a faint sweetness. The finish is fairly clean and short, without an overly strong aftertaste. It is not an especially intense tobacco, so it may appeal to people who prefer a milder, more straightforward smoke.

Cheers! 🌿

Best RYO tobacco brands to buy in Chicago?

Hey everyone,
A friend of mine is traveling to Chicago soon, and I’d like to ask him to bring me some rolling tobacco.
I’m looking for brands that are either hard to find outside the US or simply offer great quality and value. I usually enjoy smooth, flavorful tobaccos, but I prefer dark ones and I’m open to trying stronger blends as well.
What brands would you recommend? Any hidden gems or must-try options available in Chicago tobacco shops?
Also, if there are any specific rolling papers or filters that are worth picking up while he’s there, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
Thanks!
