I registered just so I can respond: I can confirm you're not the only pipe smoker in North Dakota. I'm 37 and smoke a pipe in Fargo and can confirm my dad is also a pipe smoker on this side of the state. I have a few buddies who will do an occasional cob, but they stick to cigars mostly. I also run into a high school buddy who is a regular smoker. Based on this formal census, there are 4 and a half of us.
Welcome aboard withthegrain! Thats cool to hear. Any places to buy pipe related products in Fargo? Williston has nothing!
I believe that the pipe will continue to gain popularity the more the government continues to tax cigarettes and make them even more expensive. Hipster or no hipster, young people who want to enjoy tobacco are realizing the pipe is the way to go and a bonus of the pipe is that woman dig a man who smokes a pipe.
Now regarding hipsters, in my day you were either cool or you were not. I was and will always be cool no matter how old I get. You either have the cool gene or you do not. Now my good buddy peck never had the cool gene and will forever be known as a pencil necked geek, it is his lot in life, but it does not preclude him from having the best pipe and tobacco collection of anyone I know personally, which is why I give him the time of day and allow him to be part of the gang. :nana:

Well, I'm not from Montana but have been there a couple of hundred times while I was working. We have a talc processing plant in Dillon so I got to know the area around there, Butte, Bozeman, etc.
While I was usually the only guy with a pipe in Dillon nearly every man had that faded circle in his rear pocket from the dip can. Glad to hear that things may be changing.

Any of you Montana folks heard of a guy named James Willard Schultz, a prolific author who
grew up from teenage living with the Blackfoot, hunted and fought on their side, married a
Blackfoot woman and had a son. I think he was born in about 1865 and died in 1947 (I think).
He was an Indian Agent and proponent of Indian nations and voting rights for Indians. Was
married for a time to my great aunt Celia, and later to a younger woman who was a scholar of
Indian culture. He published a shelf of books for young adults on his life with the Indians and
Indian people. Much of his life was spent in Montana, and Arizona, and he was active in naming
a lot of the mountains and areas in Glacier National Park. His son was an artist and widely acclaimed.
Although my aunt couldn't quite keep up with his wild west way of life, she always loved him, I do
believe; I knew her when I was a child and she was in her late eighties and nineties. I think James'
family sent him west to keep him out of the hands of the law. When disciplined in school, he beat
up the school master. He was suited to the Blackfoot way of life.
