Gurthang has just left Hobbiton.
Pipe Lighting up...

Why do you think Tolkien included pipeweed in the stories? The hobbits seemed to be the only producers, although the weed was widely distibuted. It also seemed to be kind of an addiction to the shire folk; they always tried to carry some, and were very happy to see it when they hadn't had a smoke for a while.

Or maybe they just had fun blowing smoke rings...
