Tobacco is in the Realms; see Aurora's Catalog and many other references.#Realmslore

I figured, just couldn’t find the word ‘tobacco’ for some reason 😂 Many references, due to halflings selling it locally, are to "pipeweed." In the Realms, for some reason, the collective term is rarely used; instead, folk speak of a specific blend they're smoking or want to purchase or sell.#Realmslore

Ah that explains it! Thanks! Anywhere noted for growing it in particular or widespread throughout Faerûn? Tobacco grows best in sandy soil (poor for most other crops), in warm climes that get a lot of sun. So: near The Dun Hills and The Bandit Wastes (easternmost Lapaliiya) and Unther and Mulhorand…but there are "good" microclimates in many locales across Faerûn.#Realmslore
