Pipeweed

Pipeweed was a plant, usually smoked in pipes, that produced a feeling of calmness. In Airspur, pipeweed was called tabac and was often flavored and smoked in water pipes.

Varieties

 * West Fennet Number Three: This left a bitter aftertaste but some users, like Farmer Snaggard of Ghars, Cormyr, had a liking for it. The tobacconist in Ghars circa 1367 DR refused to stock it, so Snaggard grew a small plot of it for personal use each year on his farm.

Availability
Circa 1364 DR, a rich farm that grew pipeweed could be found to the south of Mosstone, Tethyr. The farm was said to offer a good price for wild elf slaves.

Behind the scenes
Pipeweed was created by J. R. R. Tolkien In his Lord of the Rings trilogy. In the novels pipeweed is a herb widely cultivated by the hobbits of the Shire, and smoked in pipes. Though Hobbits were the primary consumers, other characters such as Aragorn and the wizards Gandalf and Saruman, also enjoyed the habit.
