Along with Peterson's, Butz-Choquins, and a few others, I have several Dr. Grabows that are great smokers. Two I have had for over 20 years and have put a lot of different blends through them with no complaints at all.

I have always been an "inexpensive/cheap" pipe guy. I am more concerned about a well engineered pipe vs perfect grain & no fills etc. I have been enjoying recent purchases of a variety of: Mr Brog pearwood pipes, Dr Grabows, Morgan Bones, Nording Compass & Sailor & Eriksens (which use the Keystones) and of course a whole lot of MM Cobs (always the best smoke around). There are others I have been happy with: Carey Magic Inch as well as Brigham's with Rock Maple filters. So much enjoyment from these "low end pipes". I guess I got friends in low places.

I have a half dozen Grabow briars, but I haven't ever smoked one. I have about 8 Grabow Vikings that I used to smoke all the time. I seem to have forgotten them lately.

I was seriously I impressed and gave it to a forum buddy. |

I have 7 Dr. Grabow pipes and they are all very good smokers, as good as some of my more expensive pipes.

Kevin...the Starfire line represents Grabow well...and many of the Starfire smooth had some terrific graining. I've got Grabows which smoke as good as any pipe I own...and I'm including artisan and pipes with white dots in that statement.

Grabows are an excellent pipe, I have several that are well over 50 yrs old and are great smokers...back then they used excellent briar.
