How close to a 1,000 bowls are you?

I'm at 980 right now. Shouldn't be a problem to get there.

Hitting 1000 bowls on Aug 2 is one of those impossibly frustrating achievements. In a slightly different universe, you could smoke that bowl in front of 1000 members from this forum and literally get a standing ovation.

In this universe, though, you’re going to bound back in the house from your garage tent to celebrate and your family is not going to understand your triumph.

Just caught up on this whole thread. Incredible dedication! Thanks for doing this experiment and sharing it with us.

So, with tomorrow marking the one year mark, are there any activities scheduled? Parades? Fireworks?

I was thinking more along the lines of a meet with a hammer. ?

Wow. I feel like we should proclaim august 2nd “Dr. Grabow Day.” or something to honor this achievement!

We can all post pics of us smoking OTCs (or Briar Fox) in our Grabows.

Last day!!! The pipe made it!

Ditto!!! Except I’ll probably go with Briar Fox ?

Definitely Didi' and Dr. Grabow Day. I'll get out my Royalton bulldog and apple and polish up the heralding virtual bugles.

This thread is the most exciting thing going on in my life right now. Yes, that’s right.

So, Weezell, technically speaking the meer challenge begins on Monday, August 3rd, right?? ????

No Grabow's here but I'll smoke some Chatham Manor in my oldest cob for my morning smoke tomorrow in tribute lol. This will be for the cob that has been "missing" you. CM is about the only Burley(iest) blend I have.

 

[mikethompson]

And you cross the finish line! Congrats @didimauw

I's 7:11 AM. August 2. I've already had 3 bowls of Prince Albert in a Grabow Grand Duke!
Job well done, Mr.Didimauw

 

[kschatey]

I don't have a Dr. Grabow pipe, but I do have a pouch of Carter Hall on hand and will hopefully be able to sit down and enjoy a cob full of that to participate in the celebration!

As promised... not a top ten blend for me but a kudos smoke to didimauw in my well abused Country Gentleman. Congrats sir. Now never do that again. Pipe smoking is to be enjoyed not confining

Congrats, Didi!

Enjoying some Carter Hall in a Dr. Grabow Savoy Textured. One Grabow for one day because you’re an inspiration! I should have planned ahead and cleaned up one of the beat up Dr. Grabow estates I have laying around. Not sure how you did it, I’ve been smoking a new meer exclusively for two weeks and am ready to go back to variety.
