I'm not ashamed to admit I'm smoking my usual Presbyterian from my beautiful paneled Dr.Grabow Royal Duke. Aside from some cobs, this was the very first pipe I ever bought... and I still love it. The grain is actually remarkably nice for a Grabow Royal Duke. I don't know if it comes through in the picture, but the left side especially has a really beautiful, almost flame grain look. Plus, this guy has a great open draw and smokes perfectly. No matter how many "nice" pipes I get, this guy will always have a spot in my rotation.

Hey now, don’t put down the Grabow down, LOL just kidding.
I love my 1967-1969, Commodore 65 Zulu with a vulcanite stem, metal screw-in tenon, there was no stinger when I bought it.
This thing is a beast, absolutely amazing, rivaling some of the finest in pipes, not trying to toot my own horn, just saying.
So if you have a thing for Dr. Grabow, not sure what you know, be on the look out for the Estates.
