A whole roll of Peruvian mapacho leaf
Maso is the name under which this mapacho is sold: leaf of Nicotiana rustica, wrapped into a single long roll and supplied from Peru. The supplier lists the plant part as leaf and the product form as a bundle. Mycotrop offers the whole roll only, as one unit without size options. In our Mapacho category it is the one product from Peru; the other rolls and powders come from Brazil. Like everything in the shop, it is sold strictly as a collectible or souvenir item.

Nicotiana rustica and Peru
Nicotiana rustica L. is an accepted species of the nightshade family, Solanaceae, in the GBIF backbone and in the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) from Kew. WCVP records Peru as its only native region and lists the species as introduced in many other parts of the world. In English it is also called Aztec tobacco or wild tobacco; mapacho is one of its Spanish names. It is a separate species from Nicotiana tabacum, the plant usually meant by tobacco.
Roll or powder
The Maso roll keeps the leaf in one piece. If you prefer a roll from Brazil with a choice of size, the Mói mapacho rolled leaf bundle comes as a half or a whole roll. The powdered forms are listed in the Mapacho category.
Mapacho: what is known
Mapacho is the Amazonian name for Nicotiana rustica, a tobacco species in the nightshade family, distinct from common tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum. Its leaves are much richer in nicotine. In Brazil it is sold under local variety names such as Mói, Sabiá, Arapiraca or Tauari, as rolls of twisted leaves or as powder.
According to the anthropologist Johannes Wilbert, who studied some 300 South American societies, tobacco there is closely tied to shamanism. It is smoked, snuffed, chewed, drunk as a juice or licked as a paste: the ambil of the peoples of the north-western Amazon.
| Known compounds | Nicotine: 4 to 9.5% in dried N. rustica leaves, against roughly 1 to 3% for N. tabacum (PROSEA; Laszlo et al. 2022). |
|---|---|
| Reported effects | Those of nicotine: faster heart rate, higher blood pressure; at high doses, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. |
| Traditional use | Shamanic and ceremonial use among many South American peoples, in several forms: smoke, snuff, juice, paste (Wilbert 1987). |
| State of research | The effects of nicotine and the risks of tobacco are very well documented; few studies deal with N. rustica specifically. |
Good to know
- Nicotine is addictive and speeds up the heart; tobacco is not suitable during pregnancy or for people with heart disease.
- The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies tobacco smoke and smokeless tobacco as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
- Nicotine is toxic to children and pets: keep tobacco out of their reach.
Storing tobacco
Keep rolls and powders in tightly closed packaging, away from light, heat and moisture.
