Here's what's important to know about the pipes in the story:
* Pipeweed: This is a special type of tobacco that hobbits grow and smoke. It's described as having a calming and relaxing effect.
* Longbottom Leaf: A specific type of pipeweed that Bilbo particularly enjoys. It's known for its soothing and pleasant qualities.
* Pipes: Hobbits often use elaborately carved pipes made from wood, sometimes with intricate designs.
While the pipes are a part of Bilbo's character and hobbits in general, they don't play a significant role in the plot of The Hobbit. They do, however, contribute to the overall sense of comfort and familiarity within the hobbit world.
