George Washington's pipe found?
George Washington's pipe found?
According to AP/Yahoo, archaeologists have found Washington's boyhood
home in Virginia. Among the artifacts:
"They also discovered a well-used pipe bowl, blackened from smoking,
that was marked with a Masonic crest. Washington joined the
Fredericksburg Lodge of the Masons in 1753.
"While we can't say that this was George Washington's pipe, we can
wonder about it," Levy said.
The full story is at:

I wish they would analyze the tobacco in the bowl. Did he smoke
Virginias or Burley?
Happy Fourth of July!

Wouldn't it be great if they did and it was determined to be Lane's 1-Q?

Virginias. Burley is a mutation that did not exist until
long after George's death.
Light one up in honor of our Independence day!
