    Peterson 307 vs 314

    I’m planning on picking up a Peterson system pipe as my next major pipe purchase, and am torn between the 307 and the 314, I want a decent sized pipe but nothing too massive and it’s hard to determine the size difference from pictures online. Those of you who might own both, which do you prefer...

    Thoughts On The Dr. Grabow Omega?

    I guess I’ll look at getting a few balsa filters ordered, they’re not that expensive, especially if I’m not always using them. As for the P-Lip style mouthpiece, I’m not really all that enamored with it either, and have considered actually reshaping it into a more conventional fishtail shape, it...

    Thoughts On The Dr. Grabow Omega?

    Well, I’ve had a chance to smoke the Omega a few times now, and I am quite happy with it overall. However one a couple occasions, I had the unpleasant experience of some moisture building up inside and coming up the airway as bitter tasting ‘juice’, of course this is mainly just because the...

    Thoughts On The Dr. Grabow Omega?

    It seems to be some sort of hard plastic to me, doesn’t feel overly cheap though, if I really end up liking this pipe, I may see about getting a vulcanite or acrylic stem made for it.

    Thoughts On The Dr. Grabow Omega?

    I ended up picking up an Omega at one of the local shops, got a nicely rusticated one. Thoughts to follow once I get to smoke it a few times, but so far I like it, smaller pipe than I initially thought it was, but the bowl is deep. Regarding the military bit, it is one to my eye, with a metal...

    Thoughts On The Dr. Grabow Omega?

    That’s interesting, I was under the impression that the Omega was a true military bit, not just styled to resemble one...... Anyone else care to weigh in on that aspect?

    Thoughts On The Dr. Grabow Omega?

    I’ve been considering a Dr. Grabow Omega, based on that I really like the look of that style pipe, and it being reasonably priced. I’m still fairly new to pipe smoking, but have bought a couple pipes already, my current favorite being a rather heavy no name German basket pipe with a full bent...

    Hello Everyone

    I’m told he tended to favor the typical drug store pipe tobaccos like Prince Albert. Half and half, or bourbon blends.

    Hello Everyone

    See if this works, here’s a picture of my grandfathers pipes when I first was getting them cleaned up. I somewhat favor the straight Rhodesian, so here’s a picture of it more recently in a leather stand I made for it.

    Hello Everyone

    Hello to you all, I’m quite glad to have found this site, what a great resource and community. I guess you’d classify me as an occasional pipe smoker, as I don’t generally smoke on a daily basis, its something I really enjoy when I can though. I was introduced to the hobby when I came across a...
