The view of pipe smokers today is that of an old man, heavily bearded and sitting in a rocking chair next to a fire enjoying a bowl of something that smells great. This could be said of twenty years ago, of fifty years ago or even one hundred years ago. This is just a common image that would come to mind, and yet this hobby is significantly more diverse in its clientele. There are many pipe sites out there, but I feel like none of them show an accurate depiction of me and my friends or the other hundreds of thousands of young pipe smokers throughout the world. What are the countless traits of this generation of pipers, where do we shop, what tobaccos and pipes do we smoke, what are our hobbies? In short, who are we? We are the generation of the internet and the age of information. We are so diverse in our morals and how we look, act and dress. Yet we all come together under one leaf. We are so diverse and yet we do have many similarities. We typically hide in shops, houses and garages to smoke our wonderful herb because the outside world thinks it's odd. They think this is an old man's hobby and don't realize that it has a massive cult following. We don't have a face.

Not all of us have beards but some of us do. We aren't all Hipsters or Hippies or Yuppies or Preppies or Gentlemen. Some of us are young (18+) and some of us are old. Collectively we are the face of pipe smokers in the digital world.
