The LOTR Movie Site December 24, 2000 Pipesmoking and Hobbits As you all may know Tolkien invested one his earthly
pleasures of smoking a pipe into his characters, mainly the hobbits. As I wandered into my
favorite tabac and pipeweed store here in the East Village of Manhattan I stumbled upon a
magazine entitled 'Pipes and Tobacco", and who was the cover art and feature? None
other than JRR Tolkien. I bought it and WOW!, it speaks of Tolkien and the ways he
included pipe smoking in the Lord of the Rings and how they will incorporate it into the
movies. It has pics of him smoking his pipe and insight into his favorite tobacco. For
anyone interested in reading this magazine, you can find it in a tobacco store usually or
online at |
