[St. David Pipes]

How old were you when you started smoking a pipe?
I was 14 but did not seriously start smoking a pipe until 16 to the amazement and mocking of my peers! Lol

My dad smoked Granger all my growing up years, but after the usual childhood adventures with cigarettes when I was about six, and a bit in high school, and a few Havatampa cigars in college, I didn't take up the pipe until I was into my thirties.

Then some years later I quit in solidarity with my late wife who quit a multi-pack a day cigarette habit. I got back to pipes some years later.

It’s harmless. The mistake was when @metalheadycigarguy mentioned the point system for your little title under your name. After that, the floodgates opened. I guess he thinks there’s some type of credibility associated with the title. I’m loving proof that it means absolutely nothing.

Well, so far this thread kills our theory that kids aren't out there picking up pipes. The feds may be right after all...
