There was recently a discussion over which were better pipes, Kaywoodie or Dr Grabow. Well, I wanted to form my own opinion, but I have never owned a pipe by either maker... until now. I acquired a Dr Grabow Riviera from a fellow forum member, then, today, I picked up a Kaywoodie Standard Rhodesian and a GBD Prince from a local B&M. I haven't smoked the Kaywoodie yet, but after smoking the Grabow, I'd say the KW will be hard pressed to out do it. That Grabow smokes great! I've been wanting to buy some of these older classics for a while now. I'm glad I pulled the trigger. My wife also brought home an old Danmore pipe she found at an antique store. I think I will make it my fist restoration attempt. Wish me luck!
