I'm an Old Folk and the remarks I get from young people when I am puffing is " Wow,you smell like my grandpa " I take that as a compliment.Keep on puffing Uber :puffpipe:

When ever I get a look from an older person who sees me with a pipe in my mouth,it is usually accompanied by a smile. As if seeing an older guy with a pipe brings back a memory of a pipe smoker they knew.

I can't believe you went to a car show and didn't take any pictures for us old ..old car enthusiast's. :crying:

 

[bubbadreier]

Yeah the only time I get bad looks is from younger (20-40) folks.

i didnt think to post pics because to me it isnt that exciting because its pretty much the same cars every year

Car guys are very accepting of others as long as you respect their hobby. I show my 1976 MGB so pipes at a British car show are always present. Makes for a great day.

It's rather nice getting compliments on the pipe and/or tobacco. Last week, I'd smoked a couple of pipes coming to work and 4-5 of the new people we hired had grandparents or themselves that used to smoke pipes. One lady has her grandfather's or father's pipes (60+). She said she "might" bring a few for me to see.
It's fun having conversations with people about pipes. Even if they don't fully understand them, most admire and respect pipes and those who do smoke.
