So, after a recent post where I stated that my father and uncle were both encouraging in my pipe smoking endeavours, I can now say that I have finally convinced them to join the ranks!
My uncle had promised (before I started) that if I learnt to smoke a pipe, he would join me, smoking a pipe that was gifted to him years earlier. He has finally made good on that promise, and is bringing his pipe the next time we see each other.
My father was certainly intrigued by my pipe, but showed no real interest to start... Until a friend of his, also a pipe smoker, sat him down and introduced him! He loved it, and I think I'll surprise him with a pipe for his birthday later this month...
Perhaps this means I'm allowed to pull the trigger on a pipe I've had my eye on too (in celebration)? ::
