I have one of those Dr. Grabow Royalton bulldogs and I really like it. It is designed as a filter pipe, but you can leave the filter out for a nice open draw, or if you like a little more focused, but by no means constricted, airway, you can add a 6 mm no-filter adaptor (Savenelli, or sold by smokingpipes.com and others). It's a nice looking pipe, maybe somewhat better looking that its photo, nicely shaped and durable.
