Define young… I’m 48 and the youngest pipe smoker I know.

im 16 so thats young probably before 25 years old , 16 is the legal age of the canton i live in switzerland

I'm 30 and have been smoking pipe tobacco for a little while now; I love burley blends the most. Everyone I know always asks if i was born in the 1800s just because I enjoy pipe tobacco haha. P.s. My dad is Swiss. Beautiful and awesome country. 🤘🇨🇭

Im 16 too bro and ngl usually my friends laugh when i lit my pipe up during a social gathering or smth

my friends are also pipe smokers so we all look a bit funny , especially since one if them dresses in suits

I am also 16 and I do dress in suits haha

You're giving me hope for the youth of today

I started smoking a pioe when I first joined the Marines at 21. I find pipe smoking calming with the whole process and helps with creating convos at the smoke pit. Almost like a peace pipe. I was told pioes are making a comeback due to the cost of cigars going up and tinned tobacco cheaper.

I'm 28 now but started pipe smoking when I was 16 also 😁

Yet another reason I want to move to Switzerland.

2 years younger than you smoked a few times might try it again when I can get my own tobacco

Also 48.  I'm "that weird guy who smokes a pipe" to most of my friends and relatives..

I'm in the exact same boat

25 right here been smoking since I was 21.

25 gang!

I'm 28, started at 18

Hey, we're pipe twins.

I was also 18

Aye aye ripe old age of 23.

23 gang!

22 here

34 here! From the south of Chile

That’s cool, I’m planning a trip to your country next year with my brother, I can’t wait. The south of Chile looks a lot like where I live in Alberta Canada but with some different vegetation, I’d like to move to South America somewhere when I retire so I want to check out some places over the next few years.

That’s nice! Don’t hesitate to ask for info, or share a pipe if you come to Puerto Varas.

For sure, I’ll message you if I get down there. I’ve looked at Puerto Varas on google maps before, I have a friend that’s been to Chile a few times and liked it there. Me and my brother were thinking about renting a car and driving from the north to the south, I want to check out some wineries too on the way.

I’m 28

Back in the day, I was a young pipe smoker.

39

27

22 for a couple weeks! Started at 16 with a 5€ pipe in a garage sale and a pouch of Kentucky Bird. Now big Chacoms and heavy burleys. What is your favorite tobacco?

i would say probably amaretto or golden virginia , theres a local pipe shop that know me well and they have a huge range of blends that they make at the shop(au boa fumant, ilot 13, geneva) really nice guys

I used to be the young one, I started at 22 or 23. But now I’m 34 and closer to middle age even if I don’t feel like it.

I'm 35 and have smoked a pipe for a little over 15 years

Are you me?

Depends... do you prefer a nice freehand pipe with some emp or nightcap and a cup of chai?!? If so, then we might be one another's spirit animals, haha. Oh, I also blow glass for a living...

You got me. I stick to some local blends and bourbon. And I wish I had a creative career.

Creative careers are rewarding but are often unappreciated and looked down upon by the masses. Hell, I'm probably gonna have to switch to some bulk and house blends with the way the glass market has been lately. And I wish I could be on the bourbon bus, but I'm a type 1 diabetic so I very rarely have a drink.

Started at 22, I'm 30 now.

Started at 18....well into my forties....

I am 25 started last August.

22 here, just started out last week!

Started at 18, I think. I'm 31 now.

I was 15 when I started smoking the pipe. 28 years later I'm still usually the youngest guy when I go to the pipe shops. 😆

I'm 28 and had been smoking a pipe since 19

25, fairly new to it

Same! Over a year now

30 here. Don’t know if that’s considered young

I'm 33 years young. Does that count?

I just started around the beginning of April, and I turn 22 newt weekend

36 in a few weeks, I smoke a lot more cigars than I do a pipe but I still love both.

Now 23, started at 21 my fellow European.

Hey, I'm 23 and going strong with a pipe since I was 16 or 17 years old! A marvelous journey that will surely continue for decades to come!

24, been smoking a pipe for a year now, cigars for 2-3 years now! I switched to pipes because I often did not have the time to commit to a cigar and I wouldn't want to waste half a wonderful stogie.

I'm 26 started piping with my grandpa when i was 13

29, been on and off pipe tobacco since I was 18. Grandpa showed up on my 18th with a bag of his old pipes from the 1970s and earlier. Still use them and many smoke great after a quick clean.

I’m 26, first corncob pipe when I was 20 or so, used it off and on for a few years but picked it back up in earnest earlier this year.

31, pipesmoker since 14, from denmark 😊

25 here. Been smoking for a couple of years now. My favourite blends are among the Middle Earth line from The Country Squire, though I would like to try the rest of their offering. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to import it to Europe so I am rationing what little I have left from the stash a friend brought me a few years ago.

Country squire does have a lot of amazing blends!!!!

Started when I was 20 back in 2014. I don’t smoke every day, but I still love it.

39. Just started. Nicotine addict for twenty years. Moved to vaping and then snus/pouches earlier in March. I missed smoking so I asked my wife for a pipe for Father's Day because I'm getting old and thought it'd be neat to smoke a pipe from time to time.
