Question: are snufkin and moomin the same age?
Answer: Snufkin is a complicated matter. We never get a mention of when he was born during Exploits of Moominpappa but it's widely accepted that he is older than Moomintroll. He smokes a pipe in the books but as the books are written before 1976 when Finland set the age limit at 16, Snufkin can be younger than that.
