My Dad used to smoke a pipe, lovely aroma. But no, I don’t know anyone now who smokes one.
DP has always only smoked cigars, small to medium size ones rather than Churchillian type ones.They smell nice too.

Yes, my BIL does. He’s a wannabe old fogey though, with tweed jackets, windowpane checked shirts and corduroy trousers too.

That's an interesting point. I cannot remember seeing anyone smoke a pipe since the 1980s, except on TV or in a film. It was a young fella in his twenties who smoked one. I've no idea if he kept up the habit.

Perhaps someone should make vapes in the shape of a pipe and start a trend.

My husband still smokes a pipe. Been doing it for over 60 years.

One of the last people I know to smoke a pipe died last year, and he was the only person I've seen who smoked a pipe since the nineties. It was nearly as common as cigarette smoking in the sevenries, but then went into a massive decline and a local shop that sold pipes and pipe tobacco closed down due to lack of business.
Anyone still have a partner or friend who likes to puff away on a pipe, or has the habit totally died out?
