"Named after the year that Samuel Gawith first began blending fine tobaccos in Kendal England..."
Since tobacco is a living plant and mutates and evolves as all living species do, as does each different strain of tobacco, and since soil and climate change as well, and probably sourcing itself changes over time, the blend can only be consistent to a degree. Just like coffees, teas, maize and potatoes, and everything else plant or animal.
It's called '1792' because it takes 1792 years for that awful tonquin flavour to disappear :rofl:

Dec. 12, 1792: Beethoven gets his first musical lesson from Hayden. Or June 1st, Kentucky becomes the 15th US State.
