Thanks so much, I just felt my arteries get harder ?.
I wish I could remember, not because I'm old and forgetful but I just can't recall exactly when I bought that basket briar and started the journey. Maybe 10-13 years ago or so.
Irregular use about 35 years, more consistent, 25 years.
Around 48-49 years. Finally starting to get the hang of it.
10 months. I'm 50, smoked cigarettes for 35 years. Chewed off and on since probably 10 years old or so. Piping FINALLY destroyed my nicotine addiction, and I tried everything. I now very rarely intentionally inhale. I certainly was not expecting that when I started! I hated cigarettes, now I love to puff a pipe.
coming up on a year
Question for you guys who have been smoking decades. Has your palate become more or less refined over the years? Are you able to pickup on the nuances of the smoke better then when you first started smoking? Or has your palate dulled down over time?

Only 3 years or so on pipes. Had great practice smoking with cigarettes for 38 years or so prior to that.
One of the appealling things when I started was recognizing a lifetime of learning!
4-5 years.. don't know exactly. I do know that I enjoy it more today than yesterday.
I'm 40. Cigars off and on since I was 15, bought a pipe when I was 29, smoked it even more occasionally than the cigars (couple of times a year), then became an (almost) every day pipe smoker about 18 months ago.
I got my first couple of pipes when I was 14 in 1978 and got the collecting bug around 1984 about the time when The Ultimate Pipe Book came out. ?
I smoked my first pipe when 15 years old. I started smoking a pipe somewhat seriously again around age 24 through 28. Back to cigarettes until around age 42 at which point I acquired quite a number of beautiful Castello pipes and bought 5100 5 lbs at a time. After around 9 years, in 2008, I quit cigarettes and haven't smoked one since. Smoked 5 to 6 cigars per day until 2017 when the pipe bug hit hard. Still smoke some cigars, especially when playing golf. 5 to 7 bowls of pipe tobacco most days though.
3 years. Off and on closet cigarette smoker since high school. Never had nicotine addiction, but the habit, psychology, hand to mouth whatever it is, I’ve always enjoyed it. I quit all smoking for 11 years or so ago (when I gave up golf and started riding again)
I like pipes and now learning to like some cigars, and not inhaling. I ride bikes and play drums as my other hobbies. One of which is not conducive to inhaling cigs!
