Did the Founding Fathers Smoke Pipes?

I know Washington order a large quantity of Lavender scented snuff. I assume he used it but it was part of his written down expenses.
p.s. the pipe tobacco named after them is a favorite aromatic.

George Washington was a Burley/Virginia blend that I wouldn't consider an aromatic even though it had a molasses topping. I've always thought it was similar to Carter Hall.

My grandfather smoked George Washington until he could buy it anymore. I think it was discontinued around 1974. I still have four or five ounces from a 14 oz. tin I bought from Pipestud in 2017. I pull it out for a bowl every now and then.

Beer wasn’t a massive thing until T Jefferson brought many hundreds of brewers from Europe to the US. He was a smart gent, beer was better for fighting soldiers than the hard stuff.

I can’t find my glasses but this looks like a pipe being held on the $2 bill??
