In the colonial period until 1800, the pipe was the most popular form of tobacco

consumption. Nasal snuff also became very fashionable in the upper classes at this

time, while chewing tobacco led all modes of consumption form 1800 to 1900. Cigar

smoking had a period of great popularity also in the mid-1800's, where it almost

equaled chewing tobacco.

"Until the mid to late 19th century, tobacco was consumed almost entirely by pipe

smoking and snuff." Snuff was thought to be a "sovereign remedie for the dripping and

clogging of ye nose."
