As I assume many of you here may have done, I've joined a few different pipe smokers forums.
A couple of weeks ago I came across a Dr. Grabow site...
drgrabows.myfreeforum.org/
Like here, there are a lot of really nice folks that love their pipes.
As it turns out one of the members invited me up to Sparta, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours from here, for a tour of the Dr. Grabow factory. So my son and I are gonna head up day after tomorrow, have breakfast with several of the members and then take a tour of the factory.
I'm really looking forward to this for several reasons, one of which is the fact that I have never been to a pipe factory. Another one is that I'm gonna get a chance to tour the factory where my very first pipe ever was produced, a Bent Bulldog.
That first pipe has been lost to time, so, if things work out maybe I'll be able to replace that lost briar with a new one, from the factory. [
]
I'd be willin to bet, that if anyone here is close to Sparta NC and wanted to join the group, that they'd be able to.
Let me know if you wanna join and I'll reach out to the gentlemen that invited my son and I and get ya on the list.
Cheers
Dino
