Just bought another vintage Grabow, a Savoy with a stinger, off of Ebay. Something I had sworn off. Of course, a vintage Grabow is sort of a dubious description, but hey.
One thing i do know, is that I smoke only the finest of $25 pipes, and anyone who smokes anything else other than *possibly* a beat up Kaywoodie, or off brand beater pipes reminds me of a fishmonger-guttersnipe-jackass. And...don't get me started on cobs or women who smoke $200 pipes.
Oh, and as an aside, I found out that my Mitchel Thomas does NOT have a cracked bowl, only a line across the rim that appears to be one. When it bounced off my primary casing and ontot he concrete it didn't bust! And my Milano Lock Mount appeared in the mail a month late. It must have visited Uncle Arthur at some point in its historied career, as its stinger is circumcised. I may toss it out!
