For fucks sake. Codgers don’t have internet, and they sure as hell aren’t on pipe forums talking about being codgers.
Isn’t it time for another Art of Manliness thread?

Oh man, Hadde’s Best Irish isn’t talked about enough in my opinion. That’s stuff is amazing! I’m glad to hear you are enjoying it!
This is pretty true! I don’t think a true codger even knows what the term “codger” means in the way we use it on the forums. It’s something to aspire to I guess but I’m happy to say, I’ve got years to go before I reach that state of being.
Zen and the Art of Pipe Smoking. One can only become a codger by not caring about being a codger.
I beg to differ. You can be a codger and be technologically savvy at the same time.
Different kind of codger than I’m around.
These boys are suspicious of phones that don’t have cords. To a fault.
Codgerness aside, those match blends listed above by the OP are some of the best things on the market at the moment
I feel the same way sometimes, I'm selling off a ton of my higher end blends since I find myself to enjoy captain black, Carter hall, and Prince Albert. Funny how tastes change.
I think I’m heading that way. Mildly eccentric? Yes. Elderly? I hope not at 50-something. I do seem To enjoy almost everything I stick in a pipe lately. Don’t chase unicorns and don’t need another pipe. And for the first time ever I seem to think I’d be OK with just a few blends and don’t need that library of 70 or so. Tho... I’ve never smoked an OTC!
Definition be damned. Can we just agree that being a codger is not always about age? The eccentricities of being a pipe smoker in this day and age scream codger. (or future codger if you must)
Amen sir! Up until 5 yrs ago was embedded with a unit overseas. Was the subject matter expert on their unmanned aircraft systems (drones) and not the little controlled with your iPhone kind! Hardware, software, RF and SATCOM.....yeah, don’t know nothin bout them interwebs. An art of manliness thread would be welcome! I’m aware of your background, so I feel where you’re coming from
Does a codger have to be somebody who identifies as a male by default? What about lady smokers who just can’t get enough of the prince? The term “cougar” doesn’t seem to work here...and what about half and half codgers? Fans of the blend I mean...
Phhht, a real codger doesn't give a crap what other people think. If you want to be a codger, just be a codger. I wear my cargo shorts, sandals with black socks, whatever the hell I want, because I like it. Hip young turkeys can just go jump in the river with their quipt judgemental attitudes. No one can tell a codger thay aint a codger.
It's all about attitude!
Nah, if you read further up in the thread.....it was mentioned that internet and forums were far from the knowledge and grasp of someone who could be deemed a codger
Codgettes, what else...
Yeah......what @cosmicfolklore said!
Lol I agree with @cosmicfolklore entirely, even his fashion sense...however his reply does seem like a nonsensical rant - a sign that he truly is a fellow codger
