As many of you here know, my son Seth and I had the privilege of meeting a dozen or so Dr. Grabow Collectors and touring the Plant in Sparta NC a few weeks back.

As I was on the Dr Grabow Collectors Forum the other day

I ran across this and thought that some here might want to watch it.

Thanks for the link.

Unfortunately for Grabow pipes, I would imagine that most of the people that buy them do so in a store that only carries tongue frying, heavily cased tobacco's that carpet-bomb the taste buds of people wanting to try a pipe for the first time.

Seriously, so far I have only seen their pipes marketed alongside tobaccos that are probably better suited for de-worming livestock with.
