Hear Tolkien speak about tobacco

The British Library is trying to digitise its collection of recordings. Follow the link and you can hear a conversation with the Professor about tobacco. It's the third one down.
Here.

I admit I passed over this thread before thinking tobacco wss boring, but then it finally sank in - Tolkien's actual voice. How cool is that?!
I was a little confused though. Was he the main speaker or the "customer"? The description says the audio clip "contained" Tolkien's voice which could imply that his was not the featured voice.
Either way, it's still fascinating! But if he is the featured speaker, his rolling r's are adorable. 
Thanks for posting this!

Great find. Loved in account of how old Toby was purchased in the old days.

He was voicing the parts from what I understand.
