Greetings all,
Just found this clip on another forum site. Seems the Dr. Grabow pipe factory made the news.

Wow thanks for the great link. I have looked over Dr. Grabows for so long. That made me want to go out and buy one.

Cool video. I've never owned a Grabow but this makes me want to go buy one. If anything just to pitch in my support.

As a Grabow freak it was nice to see them in the news. I saw this video a while back,when it was posted at the DGCF.

It would be nice though to see the company make some changes and improvements. I'd like to see them selling pipes via their website and and other online venues, and do some advertising--PM would be a good place to start! Although the way the pipes are made hasn't changed much it seems to me that the newer pipes are just not as well finished as pipes made back 20-40 years ago.They need more shapes and finishes,finishes like the "wirecarved" Viscounts and Starfires used to have,maybe some sandblasts(yes they used to make some). They also need to make some regular ol' push stem non-filter pipes.And put the beads back on the bulldogs!
