ALL THAT GANDALF CRAP

There's always someone who wants to indulge in hobbit fantasies, but is averse to tobacco, because tobacco is evil. Or from the dark side, big business, non-natural, not organic, and generally speaking something that interferes with their pure natural yoga-filled lifestyle.


"Are there any smoking mixtures without tobacco?"


Whenever I hear that question, I know that the person asking it owns a churchwarden pipe. And has read Lord Of The Rings. Religiously.

I'd like a bacon cheeseburger, hold the cheese, I'm lactose intolerant.

You could crumble up a clove cigarette to smoke.
Oh wait; that does include tobacco.
But it smells like hobbit.
Many "normal" LOTR fans bite the bullet, and find the mixture popularized by a now defunct tobacconist to smoke in their churchwarden pipes, often while playing Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and role playing games.
Others enjoy(?) it while engaged in "intellectual" pursuits.
Honestly, I cannot say anything bad about it.
It remains deservedly popular.
