Turning this around to when I was a kid all the men in my extended family were pipe smokers, but the one who fascinated me the most was an older woman who was a sister-in-law to my grandfather. Of a night when her days work was done, she would sit on the porch and smoke a small Devil Anse-like pipe that she carried in a pocket on her apron. She probably smoked when she took a break in the privy too, back in her earlier day. She was of the generation born about 1900, I would guess.
This is no big deal just surprising to me -
I saw my 21 year old niece the other day(whom I see very rarely) and she said, “hey, when did you start smoking a pipe? ... pretty cool”.
I was surprised that a young woman like her would think a pipe was cool. Then again she may have said it was cool for lack of anything else to say?

That or she might be friends with a few moustache twirling Hipsters.
I was recently given a small danish freehand, almost a squashed blowfish like shape with a really curvy stem - the first thing my daughter said was “finally papi! You have a lady’s pipe”.
not surprising at all. It is not uncommon for people her age to shout out about your pipe when you're smoking. I find people mostly respond positively to pipes except in certain areas like indoors or where people are waiting.
It wasn't when dad told me I would turn out to be nothing or when he asked why they didn't put a bow in my hair after getting a haircut. Dad could be alright sometimes, to others.
good to know other people had crappy parents too.
Here’s my story about my pipes and fatherhood, a picture is worth a thousand words:
Yes, and some of the ones who had "great parents" managed to turn out worse.
He just inspecting that pack, and the dryness of that tobacco pops
My honorary Father & Pipe story is this pictured churchwarden. With no pipe making history whatsover, my Dad crafted and gave it to me this past Christmas. It's made from the burr of a Whitetail antler he took in Michigan back in the 80s or 90s. From the opposite antler, he made my brother a similar pipe. It became an instant heirloom the moment he gave it to me. Smokes great, too!
“When daddy smokes a pipe it reminds me of Christmas.”
I get that as I ramp up in the fall and winter months. Kinda thought the same with my dad.

My youngest loves his two MM minis. He likes to sit outside with me while I smoke. He'll even ask for his corn pipe, which I keep in my prep tray..
Anytime that happens, I smile.
