Two tobaccos: moi and corda
The supplier names two types of Nicotiana rustica, a tobacco species of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). Moi is grown by families in the forest region and cured by traditional methods; the supplier compares its appearance to Peruvian mapacho. Corda, Portuguese for “rope”, is also called string tobacco because it is rolled into dense ropes. It comes from Arapiraca, a region in north-eastern Brazil with a long history of growing rustica tobacco.
Eucalyptus in a Brazilian rapé
The third component is eucalyptus. The supplier does not name the species and notes that eucalyptus is not native to Brazil but has entered rapé blends in recent years. The genus Eucalyptus belongs to the myrtle family (Myrtaceae); the World Checklist of Vascular Plants gives its native range as Australia, New Guinea and neighbouring islands of Indonesia and the Philippines. The Caboclo range includes another blend with eucalyptus, Caboclo Eucalipto.
Other Katukina blends
The Katukina category groups the blends from this people. Lady of the Night uses the same two tobaccos, moi and corda, together with murici bark ash and a night-flowering cactus.
Rapé: what is known
Rapé (also spelled hapé or rapeh) is the name for Amazonian snuffs, most often made of finely ground tobacco, usually Nicotiana rustica, mixed with bark ash or other plants. In Portuguese, rapé simply means snuff; the word comes from the French “râpé”, grated. There is no single recipe: the blend changes with the people, the region and the purpose, and tobacco-free rapés also exist.
Among several peoples of Acre, including the Huni Kuin, the Yawanawá and the Noke Koî (Katukina), rapé has a ritual role. It is blown into the nostrils with a tepi, a long pipe handled by another person, or with a kuripe, a V-shaped applicator used on one’s own.
| Known compounds | Nicotine, in very variable amounts: 0.6 to 4.8% in the rapés analysed by a US CDC laboratory. Alkaline ashes make the nicotine easier to absorb (Stanfill et al. 2015). |
|---|---|
| Reported effects | Brief burning in the nose, watering eyes, runny nose; dizziness, nausea and sometimes vomiting, which practitioners call a “purge”. Rapé is not psychedelic. |
| Traditional use | Shamanic and communal use among the Huni Kuin, Yawanawá and Noke Koî of Acre, often in ceremonies where ayahuasca is also present (ISA; Faria 2016). |
| State of research | Chemical analyses of commercial products, with no clinical study of rapé itself. Health data come from studies of smokeless tobacco. |
Good to know
- Rapés with tobacco contain nicotine, which is addictive and speeds up the heart; they are not suitable during pregnancy or for people with heart disease.
- The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies smokeless tobacco as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
- Nicotine is toxic to children and pets: keep rapé out of their reach.
- Do not share an applicator: traces of blood can remain on the tips.
Storing rapé
Keep rapé in a tightly closed container, dry, away from light and heat: the powder takes up moisture and clumps quickly.
