That is also one of no doubt many reasons why cigar manufacturers are fighting FDA oversight in the USA - they will have to declare what is in their cigars other than tobacco, i.e., what is in their 'bethunes' or 'secret sauces' if they use them. (AFAIK, only Padron claims to use only water.)

Drum has burley and Virginia - I just finished off a pouch a couple weeks ago.
