I was in line at the grocery store and a fella was in front of me, burly older guy with thick sideburns..looked like he could be a poster man for some pipe company, first thing I thought was this guy looks like he smokes a pipe. so I pack my things and head out the door. lo and behold he is paused outside the door packing a pipe. I told him I knew he smoked a pipe by looking at him. He chuckled and did not say much. He was nice though, you could see it in him. But, sometimes speaking someone elses language in a thick American accent makes them shy or a little nervous to talk. Have to agree with what others have already said, Big difference between us hobby smokers and those that think nothing of it besides a means for inhaling tobacco. Then theirs the guys that are just going thru a short fad.
