Since the 230th anniversary if our independence from England and George III is upon us, I wondered what tobacco was like in 1776. Pretty rough, or not so bad?

Re: Revolutionary Tobacco
And from what I hear, some of the descendent's of those revolutionary war families have been aging some of the tobacco for the last 200+ years...must be some good chit buried away somewhere...sorta like all that pre-embargo Cuban stuff they use in the Pinars...
