I’m 85. I have 7 pipes that I smoke. One is a cob. None of them are very valuable. I don’t plan on buying any more. I generally smoke one bowl a day in 2 or 3 sessions. I have a few pouches of tobacco, none of them expensive. I’m happy with them. My favorites are Sutliff J4 Burley and SWR. Am I a codger? Are you a codger?

Yessir, I'd say you are the very model of a Modern Codger Pipesmoker. 
I suppose you are if you want to be. I'm not normally one who labels others but, in this day and age, use any pronoun you wish I guess. You can even be a codgeress or, ette if you want. Kinda your choice these days. 
If you yell, "Get off my lawn", even if you don't have a lawn, you're a codger.

I was a codger, but I got younger when my preferred blend was fiddled with and I needed something new.
So long as your blends stay the same and available, yessir, you're a codger.

Well, I have yelled "Get out of my tree." Dang kids.
I think you have to have one relative that believes the only reason you're alive is that the grim reaper doesn't want to deal with you.
I think part of it is a type of terminal stubbornness.

Ha, this is a great thread with some very clever responses. I love it.
Thanks for posting, Wheels..........
Oh, and I consider myself a codger.
Some might even say a cantankerous prick.........

Are you a Party member? When I lived and worked in Russia I was haughtily advised only members used the term with each other.
You gotta be a curmudgeon.
There's a codger above.. I ain't calling no names.
You also have to be kind of lovable, to be a codger, otherwise you're just an old asshole.
I was born old, which could be confused with codgerness, it's not the same condition though.
Codgers eat sardines, and shit with the bathroom door open.
They sneak Fago soda into the football game.
They have ear and nose hair issues.
Hell, I knew a codger with nose hairs growing on the outside of the nose.

Funk, I laughed until I almost pissed myself at your description of a codger.
Man, I am all the way there.
I'll take it one step further...... I like my sardines on a saltine cracker with some hot sauce. And, to achieve perfection.... I wash it all down with cold buttermilk!
I know someone out there is gagging right now..............ha.
I am a party member of the CPUSAAre you a Party member? When I lived and worked in Russia I was haughtily advised only members used the term with each other.
It's a person. There is no political symbolism in it. The hammer and sickle are not shown. Lenin was an avid cigar and pipe smoker.
Well, that's not entirely true. "Tovarisch" (comrade) was what any man (or even a woman) used to be called - like sir or ma'am in the US.Are you a Party member? When I lived and worked in Russia I was haughtily advised only members used the term with each other.
When were you in Russia?
