I'm sorry to be that guy, but in the prologue to the book, theres a whole section titled "Concerning Pipe-weed", where Tolkien talks about how the plant spread around middle-earth, and specifically mentions it's a type of tobacco.
Isn't it more fun and whimsical to imagine something else though? That's the great thing about fiction: it can be whatever you want it to be.
thats why i was sorry ;)
