I think it's logical that this item is only found in the Shire, but a crafting recipe would be nice actually, using a Hobbit CT, as well as the ability to reforge/repair using clay bars. Yes, Aragorn and Gandalf and Saruman and possibly Blue Mountains Dwarves all smoked, but they had traveled and had dealings with the Shire, as mentioned above, so I don't think it can be argued from lore. Just because something is difficult to obtain if you are from an enemy faction is not a valid argument to change that. FT cooldown times are a function of your personal activity, and not an argument for making an item easier to obtain. Otherwise we should make everything spawn everywhere and not have faction-specific or biome-specific items.
