Concerning illegal selling of pipe-weed

As all hobbits know, there has been a unexpected shortage of pipe-weed in the recent years. Our very reliable sources from Bree say they heard whispers of our treasured Longbottom leaf is being hustled off to Nicenguard or someplace such. This sounds like some nasty business.

Sharkey initially refused such claims, but eventually under Treebeards long interrogation and admitted that he did indulge under the pressure of Gandalf the Shady. And then he turned to the dark side. And swore fealty to Sauron under the substance: "As high as honor, I was feeling".

That's how we found out where our Longbottom leaf was illegally shipped to Isengard.

"Saruman initially criticized him for this, but eventually took up smoking himself. After the destruction of Isengard, pipe-weed was found among its stores, but the hobbits Merry and Pippin failed to realized until later the implications of the discovery of Saruman's commerce with the Shire." - Wikipedia (the great library of knowledge in Rivendell)

We call upon all Hobbits that feel their rights to being high on homegrown pipe-weed are compromised, to storm Isengard with us and claim the weed back from those gross Uruk faced men!
