The term pigtail appears in English in the American colonies in the 17th century to describe a twist of chewing tobacco.One of the steps in processing the tobacco was to twist a handful of leaves together to form a compact bunch that would then be cured (dried, either with or without smoking). The term pigtail was applied to the bunch based on its resemblance to a twisted pigs tail.
