I would like to try collecting all of the pipes from The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings. I know the pipes from The Lord of The Rings were made by Vauen. I am having a bit of difficulty finding who made The Hobbit pipes though. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated and will help me make sure I am not getting a fake.

Probably the same maker. Vauen ran into some legal trouble marketing the LOTR pipes and changed to the Auenland (Shire) line.
All I could find about the two hobbit pipes (Gandalf and bilbo) is that they were made/releases by “the noble collection” and licensed by Warner brothers.
you could get them cheaper than here, but this shows you what’s legit:

this website has some good information, and if you’re willing to sell a small organ they still have an original Aragon in stock.

Of interest, @americaman has both an official LoTR Gandalf by vauen and an offical LoTR Gandalf released on the Italian market by mediaevo and new line cinema.
Make sure you only smoke Stokkebye Nougat like they did on set.
Out of curiosity, was there a backstory behind just smoking Nougat?
I'm curious why they didn't switch it up, experiment, or each enjoy different blends.
This is true. Almost bought an Aragorn as well, but the guy was asking too much.
Here’s the bit of pipes magazine lore on nougat:
Lord of the Rings :: General Pipe Smoking Discussion
I watched the LOTR trilogy this weekend and all it made me want to do was smoke my pipe, drink beer and hit something with a sword. unfortunately the last one tends to be less socially acceptable. Watching this movie again reminded me of how much i enjoyed reading the books as a kid, and of how...

I bought a smooth Vauen Auenland Doran a few years back. They are nice pipes; the Doran was the one that appealed to me most.
I don't own a lot of churchwarden type pipes, maybe 6-7. I only smoke them occasionally, but I do enjoy them.
If I was in the market for an Auenland, I'd check these out... Vauen - Auenland

Likely very few of them were actual smokers. I myself primarily only smoke two blends anymore and could easily settle on either of those as my only tobacco smoked.
