Oldest Tobacco blend In Continuous Production?

[Auxsender]

1792 was named for the founding of the company. The blend dis not exist in that year, or the year after.

Yeah. You’re right. It was called Cob Plug and it was originally made much later.
My mistake.
I’ll take 5 demerits.

I hope this was intentional . Either way, made me laugh!

What?

Guys keep mentioning Samuel Gawith as an old maker. You would think that after all these years they could produce a good blend, but after buying and smoking some of their "Balkan Flake" I'm not so sure.

Somebody, somewhere, thinks that it’s the absolute best blend ever I’m sure.

You're probably right.... That person should be neutered

Gawith & Hogwarts lol

@didimauw : Thats what I call the stuff these days since I swear some of their gear is blended by Professor Dumbledore's minions!

They lost 0-1 to Liverpool today.

The Crystal Palace dates back to 1851 and was constructed in 39 weeks, chiefly owing to the adoption of Whitworth threaded standardized bolts.

Only to be replaced by UNF and UNC

This gent had been smoking the same stuff that Neanderthals used to sniff at since they came out of the cave. Pretty sure it's no vegetative matter since no one saw the drawing of flowers on the wall.

They did up until 2018 and then.......

I've seen pics of this character before. He is gone now, but supposedly he was the dirtiest man in the world and had not bathed in decades. p.s. Cool pipe. Looks like he is trying to keep the worms from crawling out.

Yupe. He died soon after taking the bath. Decades of his immune protection was washed a way by do good people ending in his early demise.

Capstan has been around a long time. A huge quantity of it was loaded onto the Titanic, almost certainly not in tins. 500 pounds comes to mind as the amount, but it could have been more.

I have no clue what the oldest tobacco would be, but I do agree that what we're smoking today is not the same as what was being produced from long ago. Like Sablebrush said, it's clones of clones and the long standing tobacco's are in name only.

By my (unreliable) memory of "Making Tobacco Bright" by Barbra Hahn - branded tobaccos of consistent recipes did not appear in America until after our civil war.

Previous to then, local farmers or the small trading post/general store closest to them produced ropes and plugs for sale locally.

The whole leaf commodity crop bound for refining in England and Europe is more likely to yield the answer to the OP's question.
