One of the most notable varieties of the plant known as pipe-weed or Halflings' Leaf, grown in the region around Longbottom in the Shire's Southfarthing. It took its name from the famous old Hobbit who introduced pipe-weed to the Shire, the original 'Old Toby', Tobold Hornblower. This connection with Tobold Hornblower implies that Old Toby was one of the oldest varieties being grown in the Southfarthing, perhaps by Tobold's own descendants. Though the details are unclear, we do know that Old Toby was considered among the best of the pipe-weeds to be produced in the Shire.
