Cost/weight for pipes and tobacco

Post by garhkal »

In several ADND novels and such, we often see someone wrote that "they are smoking on a Tobacco pipe", Especially Elminster!. BUT ive not seen anything from 1e OR 2e, that even lists how much Tobacco is, Let alone a pipe... Have any of you guys seen anything??

I even looked in Aurora's whole realms catalogue and saw nada...

So has anyone seen prices on them??

AD&D/D&D? Not that I know of. MERPS didn't cover this nor HARN? I wonder if there was a netbook?

i'll look at this:
https://pdfcoffee.com/book-of-pipe-weeds-pdf-free.html

I wonder if any of the products covered this. There should have been a supplement on Recreational Substances & Activities.

bah..NO!

I swore there was something.

Never broken, he'll be back for more
Proven under fire, over trench and wire
No fear of death, he's unshakeable
Forged for the war, he's unbreakable

Hmmm. No, I never have, now that you mention it! I was about to check Aurora's Catalog as well, until I saw you did. Hmmm. I'd assign them different values based on the material. Cheap wooden pipes perhaps a few coppers, bone pipes a silver piece or two, fancy ones with gold accents and what not a whole gold piece.

I would imagine the tobacco (pipe weed) being sold at the farmer markets to be just a few coppers. As for pipes I imagine for uniqueness that most would whittle their own or buy some from the local scrimshaw dealer for a silver or two.
