烟袋叶


    抽烟袋的艺术还是源于霍比特人，把烟袋叶放入土质或木质的烟锅里燃烧，通过一根长管子吸入烟雾。这种乐趣，广为流传在矮人，人类，甚至精灵巫师那里，并且一直流传至今。

    烟袋叶最著名的就是梅里雅达克·烈酒鹿的《夏尔药草录》中的记载，烟袋叶是一种烟草类植物。这种植物不是中土的本土物种，可能是由努曼诺尔人从海的那边带来的。在刚多地区大量生长，尽管它因芬芳和烟草的形象被人类所知，但是人类并不感兴趣。无独有偶的烟袋叶往北传入绿道，并且种植在了布里镇上。布里的霍比特人便首先用烟袋吸食上了这种烟草，并且跃马酒店发展成了烟鬼们在布里的交流中心了。

    托伯·吹号者是第一个种植烟袋叶的人，大概是2670年，他首先弄到了这种烟草，并播种，夏尔南部的长底区，日照充足，气候温和，非常适宜这种植物生长。在夏尔最受欢迎的就是“老托比”这个品种了，这个就是因他而命名的。其它的还有“长底叶”和“南部之星”，“赛林奇”则是广泛种植的品种。

    在漫长的护戒之旅中，护戒队的成员可是广泛使用过烟袋叶的哦。我们的神行客登场的时候不就是叼着大烟袋么。在莫利亚矿井里，甘道夫也是借助吸烟来回忆正确的路线。山姆则是在护戒队离开瑞文戴尔的时候还不忘去把烟草打包（尽管他忘了绳子）；后来，快到魔多的时候，他还做梦找自己的烟管却发现自己没有烟叶了。

    梅里和皮聘则是在艾辛格的一个储藏室里找到了长底叶并且大肆的补给了一番。并且把他们的发现告诉了抓住他们的三个士兵。第一次和希优顿王见面的时候，梅里还承诺要告诉他关于烟草的事，虽然最后没有机会说。佩兰诺平原大战后，希优顿牺牲了，梅里还在叹息他没有机会再抽烟了，阿拉贡劝告梅里只要每次吸烟的时候能想起希优顿王就是对他对好的祭奠。

    艾辛格发现烟草的诡异事件在这些霍比特人回到夏尔后才揭开谜底：萨鲁曼曾经和罗索·塞克維尔巴金斯做过买卖。罗素为了扩大利益出售了他南区土地所有的烟袋叶。不久夏尔的霍比特人自然就没了烟抽。一些人类来买走了烟草，后来萨鲁曼也来了。但是在夏尔平乱之后，即夏尔历1420年，夏尔终于烟草大丰收，回到了正常光景。

原文：
The art of smoking pipe-weed was invented by Hobbits. Pipe-weed was put in the bowl of a clay or wooden pipe with long stem through which one inhaled the smoke of the burning leaves. This custom spread among Dwarves, Men, and even Wizards, and it is still practiced today.
[size=-1]Most of what is known about pipe-weed comes from Herblore of the Shire by Meriadoc Brandybuck. Pipe-weed is a plant of the genus Nicotiana. The plant was probably not native to Middle-earth and may have been brought from over the Sea by the Men of Numenor. It grew abundantly in Gondor, though it was known mainly for its fragrant smell and the idea of smoking it apparently did not occur to Men. The plant was probably carried north up the Greenway, by accident or design, and came to grow around the village of Bree. The Hobbits of Bree may have been the first to smoke the plant in pipes, and the Prancing Pony in Bree became a center of the art of pipe smoking. [size=-1]The first true pipe-weed was grown by Tobold Hornblower, who most likely obtained his first specimens from Bree around 2670. He bred and cultivated the plant, which flourished in the warm, sheltered climate around Longbottom in the Southfarthing of the Shire. One of the most popular varieties of pipe-weed, Old Toby, was named after him. Longbottom Leaf and Southern Star were two other popular types of leaf of the Shire, while Southlinch was a variety grown in Bree. [size=-1]During their long journey, the members of the Fellowship frequently took comfort in smoking pipes. Strider the Ranger was smoking a pipe when Frodo first saw him. Gandalf smoked to help himself think when he was uncertain of the way to take in Moria. Sam remembered to pack pipe-weed when the Fellowship left Rivendell (though he forgot rope); later, near Mordor, he dreamed he was searching for his pipe and realized he had no weed left. [size=-1]Merry and Pippin were able to replenish their supply from a cache of Longbottom Leaf they found in the storerooms of Isengard. They shared their discovery with the Three Hunters, who had at last caught up to them. At their first meeting, Merry promised to tell King Theoden about the history of smoking, but he never got the chance. After the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, where the King was slain, Merry thought he might never smoke again, but Aragorn told him to have a pipe in memory of his liege. [size=-1]The mystery of the pipe-weed found at Isengard was solved when the Hobbits returned home: Saruman had been dealing with Lotho Sackville-Baggins. Lotho had begun by selling pipe-weed from his lands in the Southfarthing but had expanded his business interests. Soon there was no leaf to be had by Hobbits in the Shire. Rough-looking Men started to take over and then Saruman himself arrived. But after the Scouring of the Shire, in the year 1420 S.R., there was a bountiful pipe-weed harvest and things returned to normal. [size=-1]Names & Etymology:
