C&D Bayou Night, a strong English blend, in my favorite Dr. Grabow pipe, a Royalton bulldog, slightly bent. The pipe has no bead lines but is exquisitely shaped; clearly there are some artists on the factory line. It has a light tortoise shell saddle stem. I fantasize that the old timer who shapes these pipes either retired or was off the line for some reason, and someone else had to train to make them again, since they disappeared from the inventory for about a year.Even the stamp is done with surety.
