Only about 14 mos (I smoked my fist pipe over 30 years ago but it didn't take at the time). Never have I taken up a new hobby with such zealousness before.

About 16 years total, but regularly for about 11. It gets better as you go...

I began smoking a pipe in 1959 as a freshman in college. I smoked it steadily until 1975 when I stopped for 15 years.
Then around 1990, I hauled out my pipes, cleaned up my collection, and began adding both pipes to that collection and tobacco to the cellar. Been going strong ever since and loving every minute of it.
I might say the highlight of my day is time spent with my beautiful pipes and on this wonderful, informative forum.

I bought my first pipe in the early 1990's. Very occasional smoker for the next two decades. Pulled out the stops around 2010 and got into the hobby full bore as I discovered the online pipe/tobacco world. :puffy:

I started smoking cigs 14 years ago at the tender age of 17. I first picked up a pipe 2 months ago and am in love with the hobby.
Still smoke cigs though. :oops:

Bought my first pipe in 2006 or 2007. That would put me at 6-7 years. However, for most of that I wasn't smoking the pipe. I smoked it for about a year, then I put it down when I picked cigarettes back up. Was smoking cigarettes from 2008-2011 and then I kicked that habit again. Picked the pipe back up about 5 months ago now.

Bought my first pipe - a bend billard and a bag McBaren Mixture - when I was 15. I had been facinated of pipes as long as I remember (proberly "bad" influence from both my grand dads who was pipe smokers) so it was a big day whenI got my own. It is about 30 years ago now. Never smoked more than 3-5 bowls a week. Most people dont even know about it. I like to have it as my own little secret and never smoke in public :)

Will be 10 years this year I think, Started with a basket ITALY pipe (still have) and a blend from the local shop called Upland Days. Still smoke it at least once a year, I am sure its some Lane renamed thing. Smoke about 2 packs of cigs a week when time or wind does not allow for the pipe at work.

Still nobody who has been smoking for 60 years or more. What does that say about our prospects for longevity?
