It's a blend of plants and other ingredients.
"Cutler cites Edward S. Rutsch study of the Iroquois, listing ingredients used by other Native American tribes: leaves or bark of red osier dogwood, arrowroot, red sumac, laurel, ironwood, wahoo, squaw huckleberry, Indian tobacco, Jamestown weed, black birch, cherry bark, corn, mullein; along with muskrat glands or oil, and other animal oil or rendered fat."

"Indian Tobacco" is a common name for Kinnikinnick, which is a leafy groundcover plant that was smoked by Indians/ mountain men.

I will have to snap a picture.

If it is what I think it is, it has a fuzzy surface like a peach.

Kinnickinic is generally bear berry (A. uva-ursi) and was mixed with tobacco to smoke. Interestingly the root of it was smoked by the Ojibwe as a deer attractant. Kinnickinnic is actually an Ojibwe word meaning "to be mixed"... or something like that. Many other things were used as well as bear berry. I grow a historic strain of tobacco and mix with bear berry, red willow bark, and a bit of sage (and if I have it, sassafras root bark)... or anything else that sounds good to put in it. That is my personally enjoyed blend.
