Not necessarily. With estate and secondary markets, there's likely several decades or more worth of pipes and tobacco out there.

Hell Cap, I've seen your posts. There's likely several decades or more worth of pipes and tobacco in your cellar alone!
You're not wrong.
The pipe number has been steadily going down though.
and more business interests to protect and get funding from

Hey TrainPipeMan. I hope that fellow calls you. I would love to have someone here to have a quiet smoke with, I’m in a small town in NZ, so very unlikely. Do you work on the rail?
I think it may depend on how flirty he came off. Which could go either way. I mean if a guy gave me his number and wanted to talk pipes sometime I might assume things.
True. And I practically jumped the guy I saw, and I think there might have been a moment where he was like is this guy trying it too, so I might just be projecting my own experiences.Come on Bob, I thought it was kinda sweet
And being a person is funny. We do all these little signals that either are super natural (not supernatural though) or just a bit off and easy to miss the mark.
Though my honest not joking thought is that it's a busy time of year and a real chance they'll get to hang out sometime in a month or so when there is more down time.
Throw a rock at him next time. Maybe write your phone number on the rock.
I see a few older guys from time to time where I live with a pipe near our local grocery store usually smoking their pipe in their vehicle or bench outside the store. Never really stopped to talk to them, but that’s usually because I’m in a hurry or don’t want to bother them.
I don’t usually smoke in public because my wife isn’t a fan of the smell of smoke in a vehicle or because I just don’t want to have a lighter, a pipe, tobacco and whatnot to keep up with because I’ll lose something along the way
I do smoke my pipe around friends during a poker night or bonfire get together. They all enjoy using one of my cobs from time to time, but they’re mostly cigar smokers because “Pipes just seem too complicated compared to cutting the end of a cigar and lighting it.”
To each their own though.

I once saw a mannequin, smoking a pipe, he was in the winter fashion section. In the commercial center of the town. I asked him what the fuck he was smoking, but it must have been good tobacco, because he didn't say anything, he just looked to the side. The tobacco had to be strong with nicotine, because the mannequin was yellow as a candle. In the end I decided to buy some panties for my mother-in-law, for her birthday.
I have chatted a bit with Ahi Ka, and met up with one other piper, but both of those lads are 5 hours from me……so a long way to go for a social smoke!
I love smoking while driving!!! It’s the perfect time to enjoy it!
I have not yet run into a pipe smoker in the wild, but I look forward to it. Not for validation or justification of what I enjoy, but rather to strike up a conversation with someone that has a shared interest/passion. I get tired of the same ol' "whats the weather like there, did you hear what John and Jane are doing/going?, you should try eating xyz as it helps with xyz..." As the years pass I just find it harder and harder to feign interest or pretend. Nowadays, I'll just fire up my pipe and "listen" but really I'm just deep in thought or trying to understand how Jiminks can pinpoint so many details in tobacco . Because I'm a clencher, the pipe also serves as an excuse as to why I'm only offering an "mmmhhmmmm" or "ah" response.
It's why I've always loved forums, people care about something enough to communicate and share their opinions over a passion. Sharing that passion in person, just adds to it for me.
