Ah, you have hit on one of my pet projects. This has been a quest for me for
some time and I am still working on it. For us this question (including
Velvet and other popular and less expensive tobacco brands) has been quite
important for some time considering that many sites we encounter have few temporaly
sensitive artifacts present. If someone does have some information to bring
forward, I too would be very appreciative. In the meantime, I will continue my
quest.
