I’ll be thirty-one in august. I started pipe smoking during undergrad since my friends and saw how much cheaper good pipe tobacco was compared to a good cigar. Thankfully we also had a great B&M around to. These days I still have a friend or two who do, but I’m the only one who does with regularity.
I was grabbing a lot of tit in ‘72…. Son?
They were 75 cents a pack in ‘83 when I quit the disgusting things.
These are the sorts of facts that define generations.
Sure. I used to pay under five bucks for a carton! I also remember the president of my university smoked, and made a public deal out of quitting.

I’m absolutely a Boomer.
Everyone wants to be a boomer...lol!
I’m mid century modern

How do you figure? Attitude? Outlook? Personal choice?
'Cause you're way outside the range of those born immediately after WW II.

It’s much deeper than that. A personal connection with the moniker, if you will. I embody the title. In fact, most people I know would willingly state that I’m a Boomer and that they know me as nothing else. I try not to let chronology get in the way of things like this.
Plus, on the tectonic timescale, anyone born after WWII is born immediately after WWII, so it boils down to semantics.
Well, Unfortunately, I am a Millenial(29) and I smoke both Cigars and Pipes. About 7-10 years back, a lot of hipsters were smoking pipes, most of whom are Millennials, then they switched to those vape pen things. They are the main reason why I put my pipes away until quite recently. Been smoking Cigars since I was 18, never stopped, pipes started around 19, stopped around 23 then picked up again last year.
I think newborns get a lot as well for a year or two :P
Well, for many people, in many parts of the world it was quite a golden age.
If you were white, male and straight in the US these years were probably the best anyone ever had it, ever.
I mean even looking at my parents, born in '49 (dad) and '52 (mother), leaving aside the fact Greece had a dictatorship 1967-1974, they had it great. Everything was dirt cheap, it didn't matter if you were borderline illiterate or university-educated (both mine are), there were more jobs than people to do them, and they were well-paid.
We’ll stated. My post was meant to be sarcastic.
I just don’t like generation bashing.
My children and grandchildren are just wonderful.
Ah no, no generation bashing here!
It always feels weird to me being a millenial when I was a kid they said I was the tale end of Gen X having been born in 81. Then as a adult they started saying millenials so I dont know anymore what generation I am a part of.
Probably, not a good smoker. But it's all good. More tobacco for the rest.
For something resembling authoritative info/research on the generational boundaries, these are worth looking at:

And apparently boomers are the only group "officially" defined by the census bureau...so the others may yet be revised further I suppose:
Well, those first two don't agree between themselves either. ?For something resembling authoritative info/research on the generational boundaries, these are worth looking at:

I reckon it's not just the (not so) clear cut timeline, but an attitudinal issue as well. Some might throw me in the millennials category based on their years table but I see millennials and how they are and I know I don't fit in that category at all (thank God).
Yeah, that's one reason I included both of them...different perspectives, yet at least based on some amount of research.
There will always be the individual identity vs the group. Just as you say, "I see millennials and how they are", you're making an observation based a perception of the group identity, but no doubt there are many within that range like yourself that don't really identify with it.
