Попытаюсь всё же направить топик в нужное русло.
You shall have it, if there is time,' said Merry. 'But first - if you have finished eating - you shall fill your pipes and light up. And then for a little while we can pretend that we are all back safe at Bree again, or in Rivendell.'
He produced a small leather bag full of tobacco. 'We have heaps of it,' he said; 'and you can all pack as much as you wish, when we go. We did some salvage-work this morning, Pippin and I. There are lots of things floating about. It was Pippin who found two small barrels, washed up out of some cellar or store-house, I suppose. When we opened them, we found they were filled with this: as fine a pipe-weed as you could wish for, and quite unspoilt.'
Gimli took some and robbed it in his palms and sniffed it. 'It feels good, and it smells good,' he said.
'It is good!' said Merry. 'My dear Gimli it is Longbottom Leaf! There were the Hornblower brandmarks on the barrels, as plain as plain. How it came here, I can't imagine. For Saruman's private use, I fancy. I never knew that it went so far abroad. But it comes in handy now!'
'It would,' said Gimli 'if I had a pipe to go with it. Alas, I lost mine in Moria or before. Is there no pipe in all your plunder?'
'No, I am afraid not,' said Merry. 'We have not found any, not even here in the guardrooms. Saruman kept this dainty to himself, it seems. And I don't think it would be any use knocking on the doors of Orthanc to beg a pipe of him! We shall have to share pipes, as good friends must at a pinch.'
'Half a moment!' said Pippin. Putting his hand inside the brew of his jacket he pulled out a little soft wallet on a string. 'I keep a treasure or two near my skin, as precious as Rings to me. Here's one: my old wooden pipe. And here's another: an unused one. I have carried it a long way, though I don't know why. I never really expected to find any pipe-weed on the journey when my own ran out. But new it comes in useful after all.'
He held up a small pipe with a wide flattened bowl, and handed it to Gimli.
Добрый моментик.
А теперь вопрос. Судя по тексту табачок был из Шира (Длиннохвостья). А кто нибудь что знает о нём?
(I changed picture on original text. (As Alena asked.))

Лютеранство – это доброта и оптимистичность духа, ясность разума,
