Aragorn’s habit of smoking his pipe in a cheap inn epitomizes his humble ranger lifestyle. Despite his royal lineage, he chooses the company of common folk and the simplicity of modest establishments. In The Fellowship of the Ring, Aragorn can be found smoking his pipe in the Prancing Pony, a humble inn in Bree. Surrounded by villagers and travelers, he blends in as just another weary ranger rather than the future king.
