Never smoked a Dr. G before and don't know much about it. Just liked the look and the price was right. Might be a good pipe to keep in the car?

It's surprising that Dr Grabow and some of the other 'drug store' pipe makers are still making. I take a gander at them once in a while and see some real nice looking pipes there on the wall. I always wonder at how they would smoke. "What is the 'Yellow Bowl' all about?"

That is a real nice looking pipe bronxbrier, I hope it smokes well... Enjoy!

Awesome score! I used to collect the Spifires and they were all decent little pipes. Only sold them to fund my obsession with Sav's and Petes :)

I have a Dr. Grabow Viscount author that I bought in the 80's, and it smokes like a champ. I have a Starfire pickaxe that I use for flakes, and a recently purchased Royalton bent bulldog that I dedicated for Virginia tobaccos. Dr. G makes a serviceable pipe, and I like the ones I have, but I have noticed in recent years they tend to be smallish for me. But you should enjoy many, many years of enjoyment from it. I do recommend pulling the stinger out and losing it though, lol.

I have the same pipe but not rusticated. It is quite old an I picked it up on E-bay, unsmoked. I like it but find the bowl too small. I removed the stinger and it smokes quite well.

Hope you enjoy the Dr. Grabow!

Always hear good things about them so I hope you enjoy it just as much as everyone else seems to.

The general consensus seems to be that they are very good pipes for the amount they cost.

I like the look of that pipe and there is no reason why it shouldn't smoke just fine.

Amendment to My Earlier Post: Had a time looking through my old pipes this morning, and I do have a Dr Grabow! One of the pipes I've smoked off and on since '72, but it's a Dr G (I had no idea... just didn't realize).
