Exactly the same for me, except it's an old cabbies mixture tin.
And, when I'm feeling adventurous, I even put a bent pipe cleaner into the CM tin.

Wow! How impressive!You are such a macho man!
And if that doesn't work cosmicfolklore's mother will cuss you out!
I'd likely just ignore you.
Oh back to the thread subject..
Maybe three.. during my time in Cowra (NSW, Australia) in the past decade.
All three gentlemen were in there 60's, one fellow I'd seen with one of those fancy Porsche pipe's.
Every now and then I'd catch a tall, handsome man with a solid build,
smoking a pipe around town until I realised it was just my own reflection.

The last pipe smoker besides myself that I saw in public was an old guy at a rest stop somewhere way out in Kansas. That was a couple of years ago.
I smoke a pipe in public mainly when I'm riding my motorcycle somewhere. I puff a cob while checking the chain and tires, cleaning the visor, etc. Lots of people come up and talk. Nobody ever says anything about the pipe. When I'm moto-camping, I often have a smoke in the campground or the site. People will come up and talk. No one says anything about the pipe. Often enough they light a cigarette.
I see many, many cigarette smokers, and we chat. I see many cigar smokers too, but not the ones y'all usually talk about here. I mean people who smoke swishers or black n milds, for a low tax nic hit, or to keep the mosquitoes away.

I've maybe spotted 5 or 6 pipe smokers "in the wild" in the past 20 years. I too saw them much more frequently when I was a child, but even at that, they all seemed to be my grandfathers age. I don't recall seeing many my fathers age.
Also, by "in the wild" I mean just out and about, not at a pipe club, show, or at/near a tobacco related shop. (It's a term my wife came up with)

Ha ha, hell, when Hoos and I get together, we've been know to clear out a whole barroom full of hippies with just a fart and a pool cue.
NYC has been my home for 22 years and throughout this period spotted only 7 pipe smokers out in the wild.
One rarely sees any cigar smokers around here these days.

In Ohio I see pipe smokers quite frequently. Either in their car or walking. I saw one lunting with his pooch a couple of weeks ago.
They do notice and they do care, but they won’t say anything, but they’ll gossip about you when you’re not around.
What kind of bravado is that? I was hoping to at least get a slap in the face with a hankie.
I know you're just joking, but I have seen so many posting about Hoos being a tough guy.What kind of bravado is that? I was hoping to at least get a slap in the face with a hankie.
I think Brobby boy used to call him terminator, but really if you've ever met him, he is really the nicest laidback guy. Of course, this will probably piss him off so that he tries to suckerpunch me next time we meet up, ha ha.

I have, of course, met several pipe smokers in tobacco shops. In the street, not so much. Over the last 10 years I would say I have bumped into 5 or 6 pipe smokers either on a sidewalk or saw them in their car.
I always bring pipes and tobacco with me when I step out of the house. I always smoke my pipe in the car and sometimes, I will step out of the car and continue smoking as long as the wind is not too strong. I have walked in stores holding my pipe in hand or in my mouth (unlit) and never has anybody said anything to me.
I have never had anybody make disrespectful or inappropriate remarks about pipe tobacco or pipe smoking. I have had only positive comments about family memories, how it smells so good, etc. And a lot of smiles.

I am definitely just joking. I've been making a living by being able to tell who is a real tough guy and who isn't for 40 years. The internet did make it more difficult..... but usually, the ones that make the most noise are the ones that carry the smallest stick and are the most fun to have that beer with. That's not a bad thing.

If we meet sometime face to face, you may get your wish and more if you have the same smart ass mouth. Be careful what you wish for.
Be careful. Dude makes a living figuring out if you’re tough or not.
Well it may just be the internet... But I don't find you humorous.
You are not only a funny wanna-be but you are proving my point and I thank you for that. I find that those that talk big are the ones that end up ducking when I go to scratch my head. ?
God, doncha just wanna hug him, ha ha. Actually, it’s not you, he just loves to prove me wrong, ha ha.
