I went for an outing yesterday and sat on a hill in the high plains enjoying a smoke after a well deserved lunch convinced I was miles from another soul. What tobacco species did American west settlers likely smoke? I had a bowl of Burley Morning Pipe thinking those big balled travelers could have never imagined someone riding a bike out here for entertainment. 37 miles round trip nothing but me and the cows excluding one guy out scouting for game.

I know they used tobacco products as barter and in some cases saving the hair on their heads. What was commercialy available in the early 1800's?
