I'm 68 tomorrow, first real smoke of a pipe was 60 years ago thanks to a 'progressive' Grandfather and 32 more years will see me break even on my pensions contributions and start making a net gain. Another 2 years and I'll have start planning for retirement.

Aging is so different among people. Some are set and settled at thirty. Some people evolve and are signing up for dance lessons at 93. My dad died at 89 licensed to drive without glasses and never drew a dime on his long term care insurance. My late wife died in full bloom and mid-career at 52. Time is a rascal.

Sorry about your wife MSO, even if some years must have passed. Time certainly is a rascal.

28. Smoked my first pipe when I was 18 fresh at college and didn't know what I was doing.

Picked it back up again this March when I realized I had tucked away a pipe my mother sent me through the mail that I left at her house when I was back in the USA for vacation. It happened to be my first pipe that I bought in college.
If not for my mother sending me it, I probably would be writing this. Momma knows best!

Now there's good fortune for you -- you've got good karma; don't blow it.

I turned 47 today! And that is apparently old enough that I had to scroll thru the first 2 pages of this to make sure I hadn't already posted...
:rofl:

 

[bnichols23]

Well, happy b'day, "kid."

 

[jcsoldit]

Turned 61 earlier this year, smoked my first tobacco pipe summer of 1974. ::

 

[bryguysc]

I'll be 40 in 7 days!

I need to dig around in my cellar to find something special to open up!

Young enough that my pipe smoking seems to amuse my peers as well as anyone of any generation that doesn't currently smoke a pipe. So 23. It's interesting to see people's reactions at times but in the end it's sad to see some who look at you like your doing something wrong...then again my age and the general feelings towards smoking some of the public holds explains that. I did see a kid a few years younger than me at a cigar a pipe store in PA last week asking the clerk for advice on what pipe to buy. I didn't hear or see what he decided on though. I hope this wasn't too long.

Whenever I think of age, Peter Ustinov's line as the Old Man in Logan's Run comes to mind -- "Well, I'm as old as I am, I suppose."

I'm 58.
Took up a pipe about the middle of my undergrad career, so ~1980.

davek, I'm old enough to be your six year older brother.
As for rejoining the brotherhood when in your sixties, I agree with darthpipe.

28. First tried a pipe about 2 years ago. Picked it up seriously about 2 months back. I'll third feeling awkward piping around my peers due to my age.

30 years old. Picked up my first pipe at 18 as a freshman in college. Bored and too young to buy beer I guess :roll:
