Mine always joke about it as well, but I got them into pipe smoking already.

My interests started in my early 20's as well (that's about a decade ago).
In some ways I feel like it's preparation for the future, someday I will look like Gandalf, so I may as well get used to acting the part.
Tobacco pipes are an exploration of our history, you get to live a slice of daily life just as people had going hundreds of years back, up to half a millennia if you venture into Clays, I had one of the 15" tavern pipes but as one might expect that pipe met an unfortunate end on a cement floor. It's always tempting to get more: 15" Colonial Tavern Pipe - Penn Valley Pipes - https://shop.pipeshoppe.com/product/15-colonial-tavern-pipe-new/

34 here and started smoking a pipe around 2/3 years ago.
I was a longtime cigarette (and other combustible weed) smoker before that and the pipe satiates my need for smoking without the all consuming need for cigarettes. I can easily not smoke for a day or 7 these days.
My grandad was a pipe smoker but mostly before I can remember. Certainly not an affectation or attention seeking endeavour as I mostly smoke in private.
what was the question? ?

I started chewing tobacco at 13 when I left home and picked the others up along the way. Took up pipe smoking at 17 and regularly use all available forms of tobacco.
Wow! That's a totally unsupportable generality. I'm an old guy, 74, no other relative I'm aware of ever smoked a pipe. One grandfather gave himself cancer with his cigarettes. Parents were against smoking.
I'm the only pipe smoker in the family going back three generations.
I don't carry a single action but I do have a single action double barrel 410 hand gun. My daily carry is a Ruger .357 1707. I also own three manual shift cars one of them on the column. I don't think I'm old fashioned, I just like things that are reliable in their simplicity.
You, my young friend, are way too rational to be a member of this forum.
Turning 36 later this month. I never liked any form of tobacco other than pipe smoking, which I only got into in 2019. Just enough time to cellar like a madman while it's still somewhat affordable and easy to obtain. Neither of my grandfathers smoked a pipe, nor did my dad; I guess Lee Van Cleef had the greatest impression upon my 10 year old mind in that regard.
I don't feel the slightest weirdness about smoking a pipe at my age. I'm more intrigued with the idea of finally departing the 18-35 demographic I have grown accustomed to for so long. But then again, not nearly as intrigued as I am with the idea of drying acouple few coins of MacBaren Vanilla Roll Cake and spending a little time with "Il Savinelli." It's all relative.

Yes, I would kill for a carbureted or mechanically injected diesel.
Well said. Getting older is exciting anyways. As long as your happy with life that is ?Turning 36 later this month.

Ruger GP100, 3" barrel, fixed sights, compact grips. Great carry gun.
Looks like a beautiful piece, but I'm not much into the revolvers as carry. God forbid you need more shots, but it's nice to have them. I generally carry a full frame beretta with an extra 15 rd mag on my weak side. I'm not one for small and compact either? I genuinely believe open carry is the best carry (if enough people do it).
I've always loved revolvers, but now the simpler the better. The fact that I don't have to deal with safeties, etc is better for us old guys. Aim and pull the trigger is all I have to remember.
Atta boy. My hypotheses is the more people that open carry, the more criminals that will see people carrying, thus a deterrent. While I do understand that it can make you a target, as a criminal if you see 3 people with guns within 10 feet of you, you'll probably think twice.
