Go the pipe-weed!!! I think of the LOTR characters smoking pipes like you have old, comfortable-ish people sitting down to something enjoyable (to them). How Tolkien describes smoking it's like an art; living may be hazardous to your health but no-one is going to give that up. (ps, this discussion reminds me of an essay-ish thing that J.B. Priestley wrote, he's quite an old author but the essay is pretty damn cool)

Some people prefer cupcakes. I for one care less for them.
