I find Facebook to be where thinking goes to die. I am not on Facebook. But my research found this interesting bit of LOTR history.....

@ghostsofpompeii , yes, watching LOTR or the Hobbit today is a must, after enjoying a good pipe of course

Son of JRR Tolkien (Christopher-95) has passed. He was JRRs 3rd son and was responsible for editing and publishing  "The "Silmarillion and "The Fall of Gondolin". 
I will do a bowl in his honor tomorrow...

Sorry to hear that, @KA9FFJ.  We owe Christopher a lot.

Was watching the biopic “Tolkien.”  Nicholas Hoult, playing Tolkien, smokes a pipe in a few scenes.

Is Hobbit “pipe weed” really cannabis?

Rest in peace Christopher Tolkien. Your father would've been proud at how you took care of his legacy.
