imgur.com/gallery/bm4cYGmI was excited to finish this one and am looking forward to burning something special in it! This is the first commodore I have ever owned, it has an adjustomatic stem type (not push tenon) and stinger (replacement). That blast catches me attention everytime I glance! Hehehe hope yall are having a good week so far!

Displaying fine now. Nice pipe. Commodores were very good pipes and an excellent choice for someone desiring a prime vintage Dr Grabow.

Beautiful Grabow, oldbriarpipes.... and that sandblast is terrific! The old ones are great smokers...I have several and I smoke them before I reach for a newer pipe.

Commodore blasting was done in the Grabow factory by Glen Murphy...his blast work was fantastic. Commodore line ran from 1964 - 1992. Nice example...I have a small flock of Commodores...every one a top shelf smoker.

That looks great. I love old Grabows. And the blast on that one is excellent.

Thankyou all! Commodore blasting was done in the Grabow factory by Glen Murphy...his blast work was fantastic. Commodore line ran from 1964 - 1992. Nice example...I have a small flock of Commodores...every one a top shelf smoker. Thanks for the information! I have been keeping my eye opened for one since I seen some of Dave G's Glen Murphy blasts, I was very happy to find this one! I want to visit the Sparta factory its less than an hour away from my house! Hope your week is going well.

That's a beauty, nice job!
Let's see if the Aromatic Pharts want to field trip up to the plant - been wanting to do this for some time myself.

The Commodores are one of my favorites in the Grabow line of pipes. Those older Grabows are superlative and well deserving of the attention of any piper.
