In my usual order, just in time for the evening snack, I checked my email to see whats new. Mr. Zaya had sent the official White pepper from El Septimo and I couldn’t stop reading. Things I’ve never read or known before, facts I don’t think many others know. The information i got, read it here below.

I. INTRODUCTION — WHY THIS REPORT EXISTS
For over a century, the world has made the critical mistake of grouping premium natural cigars together with chemical cigarettes, assuming they are biologically identical because both contain tobacco.
That is false — scientifically, chemically, and medically. Cigarettes are a synthetic nicotine delivery system, engineered with over 7,000 added chemicals, ammonia accelerants, and designed specifically for deep lung inhalation and instant brain spike addiction.
Premium cigars — especially at the El Septimo standard — are 100% natural agricultural products.
No chemicals. No inhalation. Slow biological absorption through the oral mucosa — the same delivery pathway as sublingual pharmaceutical therapy.
This white paper exists to correct the false narrative that has gone unchallenged for decades. Cigars are not cigarettes. And natural nicotine is not the enemy. Now let’s find out the truth about benefits of natural nicotine found in premium cigars.
II. WHAT NICOTINE & ALKALOIDS REALLY ARE
Nicotine is not a synthetic drug created by the tobacco industry. It is a natural botanical alkaloid — found in the same pyridine alkaloid family as:
Tomatoes
Eggplants
Green peppers
Potatoes
Cauliflower
These are consumed safely by humans every day. Even more importantly:
✅ Nicotine Is an alkaloid.
✅ Cigars contain multiple natural alkaloids — not just nicotine (nornicotine, anatabine, myosmine, anabasine).
✅ These alkaloids exist naturally in the leaf — not “added” — not “engineered.”
The human body contains dedicated receptors such as α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, designed by biology to interact with natural alkaloids — just like plant polyphenols, caffeine, theobromine, etc. Natural nicotine is not the problem. Chemical manipulation and inhalation are the problem.

El Septimo Scientist have discovered that the health benefits of Pyridine Alkaloid in human body is significant and directly benefits the following:


Conclusion:
Cigars — especially El Septimo — are not a smoking product in the sense cigarettes are. They are a botanical alkaloid experience, absorbed orally, never entering the lungs, never chemically manipulated.
IV. HEALTH BENEFITS OF NATURAL NICOTINE & PYRIDINE ALKALOIDS
This section now includes the full alkaloid research you requested integrated professionally. Modern research has confirmed that pyridine alkaloids — when delivered naturally and not inhaled — may support:
✅ Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant
Suppresses TNF-α, IL-6, NF-KB inflammation markers
Supports arthritis, inflammatory bowel conditions, and immune balance
Neutralizes free radicals — improves nutrient bioavailability
✅ Anticancer Potential
Natural nicotine under non-inhaled conditions can inhibit tumor proliferation
Triggers apoptosis (self-destruction) in breast, colon & lung cancer cell lines
Industrial cigarette data does NOT apply — due to chemical combustion
✅ Antidiabetic & Anti-Obesity
Slows glucose absorption
Improves insulin sensitivity
Reduces fat accumulation in liver & muscle tissues
✅ Neuroprotective / Cognitive
Modulates acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine
Protects brain function — studied in Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s
May reduce seizure activity
✅ Antimicrobial & Antifungal
Attacks bacteria & fungi, including drug-resistant strains
Supports oral microbiome balance
✅ Natural Analgesic (Pain Relief)
Reduces pain signaling — mild opioid-like effect WITHOUT addiction mechanics
Historically used for rheumatism & joint inflammation
✅ Digestive & Cardiovascular Support
Strengthens stomach lining (gastroprotective)
Supports healthy cholesterol processing
Natural expectorant & airway support
