Sir,
As a pipe smoker, and since I know you are one too, I have this simple question for you: what is your favorite brand of pipe tobacco?
Thank you in advance for your highly anticipated answer,
F. Smith

Dear F. Smith,
There are a lot of tobacco brands, some better than others (Van Rossem's brand is not bad). But of all the ones I know, I am tempted to say that my favorite should be one of the varieties grown in the Southfarthing of the Shire, like the Longbottom Leaf. But I am sure that no man will ever surpass (nor equal) the Hobbits in growing pipe-weed, which finally leaves us only dreaming about it!
Sincerely,
JRRT
Надо бы найти и распробовать этот самый Van Rossem's brand, голландский кавендиш.
Кристофер вроде как раньше курил Navy Cut, судя по рассказам интервьюеров - у него дома видели банки.
