Good catch. Nobody really is a funny guy. I guess I'm ready to look this board over for new interpretations and then see the movie again. Want to add that this is the most respectful board I've found for any movie, actor, director, or writer. That alone indicates to me something profound about the value (or values) of the movie.

It was mentioned that tobacco is a sacred plant, but the line is used for foreshadowing and humour.
Its not obvious on first viewing to some people that he's on his Journey so when Nobody asks him for tombacco, they think he wants a smoke We "whities" may make that mistake when we first see the film The irony, and the humour is that Nobody doesn't want a smoke - he's collecting it for the offering to guide the boat safely to the spirit world. The repetition makes it funny. -
