I’m Ashamed

[Jaylotw]

I’ve been pronouncing it “Gra-BAW” and not “GRAY-bo.”

I watched a video of the Grabow factory and was a little ashamed of myself.

Please hold my pipe-smoker credentials for review.

Thank you.

I once heard a reviewer putting the emphasis on the second syllable when saying latakia.

Stick to typing in the forum. No one can hear you that way....

It's okay. We all fail occasionally. Mine was pronouncing Gay-with Gaw-with. When I first started, I thought Sasieni was Italian! It SOUNDS Italian!

No worries. Only matters that we enjoy smoking them. Love my codger blends in a Grabow.

Just remember that the American (mis)pronunciations are always correct!
