Smokes

Thanks are due to Aspects for giving over his lungs for smoking science!

Sold out of gold? Try dulce!

All tests were done by a maxed human ficer (level 21 I think?) before traits were available.

All pipe smokes lasted 1 min 45 seconds, while cigars lasted around 3 mins 30 seconds; an exception is the firedrake cigarette, lasting 1 min 45 seconds.

The following were tested with finely carved pipe.

Type of tobacco        hp/sp       cost      how many smokes you get
Hobbitat Gold          57/62       650         5
Arcadian Red           32/36       300         5
Neville Blend          28/33       175         5
parkraz                45/50       450         5
tabaq                  52/56       600         5
Iceforge pipeweed      45/50       200         5
ranger pipeweed        24/28       free..      5
dulce (from Gwot)      54/59       650         5
royal select cigar     52/63       500         5
salamander cigar       32/40
firedrake cigarette    13/17

I've heard the quality of ranger-foraged pipeweed can vary. If anyone smokes a few different clumps and tracks the numbers, please let me know.

Aspects also tested pipes using hobitat gold

finely carved pipe      57/62
pipe                    56/61
hookah                  57/62 

Aspects summarizes: so to sum up use finely carved pipe or hookah pipes for max heal cigars if bashing and dont require a large heal and order of heal best are gold, dulche, tabaq but best value...specially good for lower lvls is iceforge pipeweed by a long shot.

Tinuviel notes that cigars are weightless (once you ditch the boxes) and, being a weak half elf, prefers them to juggling pouches and packets and pipes.
