Pretty much. Two blends though, and a handful of pipes.
I have one pipe with a piece of electrical tape on the stem, so I guess that makes me an official codger too. 
What about true codgers---I'm 68---who have 100+ pipes and keep several dozen types of tobacco at hand?
I find the presumptive dismissiveness happening in this thread to negatively impact the cosmic-connectedness perception I have of my Life Journey and thereby lessen my self-image, as well as profoundly damage my public credibility.
To such a degree, in fact, that I'm going to open a TikTok account and rage and cry at the camera non-stop for fifteen minutes. I'm also going to set up a GoFundMe account to hire a team of psychiatric professionals to help me rebuild my psyche. self-identity, and self esteem.
Your heartlessness is beyond description. My disappointment is boundless...

Tom Waits took up serious codger culture when he was in his twenties, assuming a codger slurred growl in his speech, and otherwise taking on the look and sound of a bowery elder. Asked what persuaded him to do this he said it was because the crotchety geezers got to wear all the cool hats. Having postponed my inner codger until an appropriate age, I will admit I think I have a good supply of cool hats. At a certain age, any hat you decide to wear is ex-officio, cool.
Shouldn't it be black electrical tape?Yes. Yes it is.
If he's like me, very little social interaction. This is how populated my work is and I'm there 12+ hours per day, seven days per week.And yet here you are.
My guy, I haven’t visited this forum even once, (after being an active member for quite some time), in probably five years.And yet here you are.
Mmm.. no, I don’t interact socially a whole lot. I work with my brother and my uncle, and an unrelated guy my brother knows.
I really just watched myself literally bandage my pipe that just broke and thought it would be worth my time to share the event with people I figured could relate.
Other than my wife and kids, the only person I see is the lady at work that hands me my paycheck on Friday before she leaves.
and that's how you lose your Hermit Union card.
Well if you were able to remember your password you're not an old codger yet... Gotcha!
