[QUOTE="satchmoses, post: 48439, member: 629"] I'm another younger smoker who can attest to the renewed popularity of pipes. I started about six years ago with a Grabow and some drugstore tobacco when I started grad school. It was an affectation at first - an English grad student under the spell of Lewis and Tolkien and their briar love. And somehow, despite a crappy pipe and junky baccy, I kept with it. My collection is still relatively small - only 20 pipes, a percent of some of the guys here - but I have a story behind each one. (Two small children and a grad student's life make restraint necessary.) And for me, it's part heritage - in fact, my parents just came for a visit bringing my grandfathers' pipes - both sides! Drugstore pipes, all of them, but I'm always amazed by what good wood some of those drugstore pipes had in the 40s and 50s. I never smoke in public without someone complimenting me on the smell. So who cares if we're in the minority? [/QUOTE]
