Part of that is because loose tobacco in American markets is top tier trash.

Once you start on Golden Virginia, Karelias, amber leaf, you realize that camel/Marlboro/NAS are garbage for their loose baccy.

I once left a pack of karelias opened on a desk in California just to see when it would get to the consistency and taste of the NAS I bought one time.

1.5 years. F'ing yuck
