I had already started some minor rim repair before I remembered to get a few before pictures. The Eldorado was only second in grading to the Emperor. It had a rough life but still had good bones and nice grain.

Eldorado Ajustomatic #80.

Make aromatics great again

I have a couple more Grabows in a box that need some serious work. Looking at your restos always makes me want to pull them out and get started

Excellent resto. Pretty pipe. All the smooth Grabow Eldorados I have had have had outstanding grain. And all have had vulcanite stems which I prefer.
