Do you know any tobacco pipe smokers??

I work with a guy that smokes a pipe now and then, not often

My grandpa did. All his shirts had little burn holes in the back because he'd smoke it while riding his motorcycle and the embers would blow out and hit his back

I smoked a pipe off and on 40-45 years ago and enjoyed it. I accumulated a nice collection. My father was a pipe smoker, too. I enjoyed using different tobaccos with different aromas. The only real setback to pipe smoking is having to lug all the paraphernalia needed to smoke and maintain it (multiple pipes, tobacco, filters cases, etc.).

If you've learned how to leave the pipe in your mouth while using your hands, be careful not to let it give you a sore jaw....it'll feel like somebody nailed you.

I had a similar experience. Had an extensive collection of some pretty good pipes, mostly Charatans. Quit smoking them, Too much bother fooling with paraphernalia and buying good tobaccos outside of big cities. Gave my pipes, humidors, etc to an old friend. He returned most of them 20 years later. I quit smoking cigarettes about a year and a half ago, and every now and then think i would enjoy lighting up a pipe and relaxing with a glass of good whiskey. .

I bought a corn cob pipe after college. I was never a cigarette guy and liked pipes better than cigars. It was also a good conversation starter. I lived in Nashville (making no money). I went downtown to Printers Alley to hear some blues music. Cover was $20. Since I made little money, I sat in alley and smoked pipe. Bouncer comes over to me and says “love the pipe, Cover charge on me if you want to come in”.

My brother smoked a pipe . He's 50 and it looks weird ...

ummm, as long as you refer to it like that in the “tobacco shop” you will be fine.

I found my dad's old pipe the other day. Been a long time. Like you said, smelled incredible. Nothing like it. Have no idea what brand he used.
