oldest pipe tobacco still being made?

What is the oldest pipe tobacco brand that's still being made today?

Google your question. There are old threads on the subject.
Edit: It's a rule to use capitals for each word in the title of a thread.

Damn Stan, why take the time to shame a guy when it would take the same amount of time to either link a thread or answer him, or even less time to ignore.
If you are looking for a blend 1792 flake, Cotton Boll and any of the Gawith ropes will get you close to the genre of what was smoked. However, sun cured Maryland leaf will get you closest to what the early Euro settlers cultivated in the early days in America.
What the Native Americans smoked is another rabbit hole. Information is out here if you choose to delve a bit.

I'll guess Capstan.

It's a shame that all grammatical rules for capitalization seem to be out the window. Capitalizing articles and prepositions is ugly and wrong in most cases.

What about tobaccos around 1890's?

What about them?
Here's a LINK to some history of commercial tobacco in the US.

Grousemoor claims to be a 200+ year old blend.
From the review page.

Unless my memory has completely abandoned me, I believe the "all caps" rule (Rule 9) was modified couple of years ago. We are advised to pretty much follow the rules we follow the rules we were taught, may be not learned, in Junior High?, Senior High? somewhere in there. Think book titles, headlines, etc. No longer required to capitalize each word in the title.
I believe we have fordm60 to thank for that modification back in December of 2014.

That was difficult to read!

No pipe tobacco blend currently available is the same as it was 20 years ago, let alone 200 years ago. Tobacco plants change, availability of select types change, production methods change, consumer tastes change, formulas change due to a multitude of reasons, ...nothing stays the same.

Prince Albert (tobacco!) that old? No: Dates to 1907. Prince Albert himself would be older....

 

[warren]

He's asking for the oldest "brand" not blend. Or... is he? Oldest brand being made today? Could be blends he's asking about. A combination of both? Neither?
So, that parsed here, apropos of possibly nothing, is my response. Kapp Brothers, precursor to Kapp & Peterson were tobacconists in 1865. Might be the oldest brand. Unknown if any blending recipes made it into the 20th Century, much less the 21st.
Tom: I didn't bother deciphering but, it could have been attempt at being humorous. Rebellious? Ah, who cares!
