Rj McCay and David Bridges have done what no one else,to my knowledge, has done for an American "Drug Store" pipe. No where will you find as much information about any make of pipe in one place. Why Dr. Grabow? Why not! It is probably the largest selling pipe brand in history,millions of them have been produced and are still being produced and I'd venture to say that Grabow is still the largest selling brand out there in the USA. They are a true American icon IMHO.

Grabows are much like Henry Fords Model T, made for the masses. A cheap well made pipe that most anyone could afford .But even a cheap product is not going to be around for over 70 years if people don't like it-- and they are still here.
