Drying the Pipe-weed  

'Now that the leaves are sorted, the next step is to dry them. The longer the pipe-weed dries, the stronger the taste becomes. It also darkens the colour of the smoke.

'Once it's dried, we'll blend different amounts of dried and fresh pipe-weed to make some unique flavours. That's how you get the best out of the plant.

'The drying racks are just around the corner to the north-east, and there's already some pipe-weed on it. Add what you've sorted to the racks.'

Pipe-weed is something hobbits take very seriously. A market would never be visited unless it had a suitable supply and variety.
