'New' Vintage Dr. Grabow Pipes
My first pipe was a Dr Grabow Bent Duke, way back in 1966. I still have a fondness for the brand.- terry292

Dr. Grabow Article In NC’s Our State Mag
I took this on a visit to the factory in 2010. It's the watertower at the old Sparta Industries plant. The sign outside the new plant, just down the road from the old one.- terry292

Still Have Your First Pipe? Why or Why Not?
"Great post terry'. I seem to remember that erstwhile nation that's gone. Over time, my boot camp is long gone; my home port is a commercial port; Midway Island where I was stationed was a bird sanctuary and now is a plastic waste vortex usually uninhabited; and my ship was sold to Taiwan and... -

Still Have Your First Pipe? Why or Why Not?
My parents gave me a bent Grabow Duke for Christmas, 1966. Sadly, it disappeared in 1973 somewhere in the jungles of a small Southeast Asian nation which no longer exists. I like to think one of Uncle Ho's myrmidons is still getting some use from it, but it's more likely to have moldered away... -

Ed Jurkieweicz Has Passed Away
Very sorry to hear about Ed's passing. I never met him, but remember when he began making pipes. He wrote about it extensively in the old Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris. I have one of his pipes, a bent billiard, vaguely reminiscent of the Dunhill 120. May he rest in peace.- terry292

Who Was The Pipe Maker ADP?
Thanks for the info, pitchfork. I own a cased set of four ADP silver banded billiards with both amber and vulcanite stems. The bands are hallmarked 1907. Also, the ADP pipe plays a small part in the Sherlock Holmes' story "The Silver Blaze." i'll try to post photos of the set later. Thanks...- terry292

61 Years of Pipesmoking
Most of you are way ahead of me. I smoked my first pipe at Christmas in 1966, just 50 years ago last Christmas. My parents gave it to me mostly because they wanted to keep me from sneaking cigarettes. I still smoked cigarettes occasionally and chewed tobacco, mostly Brown's Mule. I became a...- terry292
