Is pipe smoking in the DNA?

I've just drove two hours to visit my awesome Granny. Grandma Bev is 80 yrs young. She is quick to make a young man blush with a joke. She is church going. Yet she makes homemade moonshine whiskey infused drinks. And tells dirty jokes and gives multitudes of wisdom too.
My father is the youngest if four boys. His daddy died when my dad was 10 and my granddad was 32. Growing up I've heard many stories of my Grandma raising four boys. Until recently when I smoke a bowl in front of my Grandma Bev did she mention my grandfather smoked pipe. She didn't like the English I started out with while smoking on the deck. So I started a bowl Black Berry Brandy. She the went on how my pappa Donny smoked about a dozen pipes ranging from stinking.to berries,and chocolate.
She then said she's glad I'm smoking pipe and not cigs. She said to try to acquire my granddaddy pipes from my uncle that has about a dozen pipes stored away and likely never smoked since the early 70's. So I'm on a history mission.

Yes the title was meant to be a joke and get attention Mr. Jud. It should also be noted I'm aware my punctuation and grammar sucks. It shall also be noted I composed this thread after returning home from Gramma Bevs and consuming a couple drinks each of her flavored moonshine she sent home with me.
What I find most interesting is that I stop at a crappy smoke shop to buy a carton of Amercan Spirits for $80.90! Gotta love the tax increase to support a losing Viking team and their new stadium with hired thugs for players...ideology for another day aside.
So I have an impulse buy of a Dr.Grabow Freehand and a pouch of CBW one day...The rest is history! I find this intuitive forum loaded with helpful gents such as your selfs. I don't really care for CBW after a few bowls. I go to a cigar geared B&M and the pipe tobacconist is there. Jackpot baby. He offers free smells of the house blends and offers free samples if I brought my pipe. I didn't bring my pipe. So I purchased my first MM Cob and sampled 4 free Bowls of different bacci. I played it safe and got a couple oz of Aro. Though he did point out his favorite house blend of "965" he dubbed the "big boy stuff". I later got an oz of "965". It was what I've expected from a pipe smoke from the word go.
Needless to say I've embraced Engish blends and starting Virginia blend like Stokkbyes Luxury Navy Flake.
Upon proof reading I've become sidetracked. I guess it's easy to do when index finger punching a phone keyboard.
In short I'm happy to have discovered that my granddad smoked pipe. Even more excited that I may be able to acquire a dozen pipes that are at least 50yrs old.

I'm named after my grandfather Donald whom I mentioned died when my dad was 10 yrs old.my dad wanted me to be named after Donald. My mom said no. How about Donavan instead? They agreed. Thankfully my mom is Irish and she got what she wanted. As I was growing she never allowed people to call me by Donny or Don. It's Donavan lol!
There is only one individual whom calls me Donny and that's my nephew Gavin. It should also be mentioned Gavin has always called me Uncle Donnysince he could speak. Never Don, Donny, or Donavan . Just Uncle Donny! My sister, Gavin's mom swears he just started asking about Uncle Donny one day. So he's my only exception.
