Dale is a no go for pipes, as are Gondor, Rohan and Erebor. I agree, this is the best option. After doing further research (finally got around to it, I'm dumb lol) I found out pipeweed does only grow in the Shire. So I think it should be:

Faction-specific pipes in Blue Mountains, Dunedain, and Hobbit

And keep pipeweed in the Shire. I over generalized by saying everyone smoked. What I meant was that a lot of LotR characters smoked, but, as S'moregoth pointed out, they all had links to the Shire.
