From Tom Douglas, former Executive Vice President at Dr. Grabow/Mastercraft:
"Every year our President, Paul Fish, would travel to Spain, Italy, and Greece to place orders for the next years briarwood. In 1967 he came back with a funny looking pipe that was just a bowl, aluminum rod, and a cheap plastic bit.
"He put that pipe on his desk and there it stayed till' his death in 1971.
"A few years after his death we decided to copy that 'funny looking pipe'. We decided to make the tube black anodized with a place for a filter, add a carburetor, and make the stem nylon."

I’m currently smoking Gawith Hoggarth’s Bright CR Plug in a “funny looking” Dr. Grabow CDL.
