Christian Pipe Smokers

My first pipe was a Dr. Grabow, purchased at K-Mart before I began smoking and I never smoked it and it is long since gone. Since I have been smoking, I have had many pipes but not another Dr. Grabow. I about a year ago, I found a new in the package Dr. Grabow Omega and bought it. Its still new in the box...I have some really great pipes, but I remember as a kid, I would stand waiting for my mom at K-Mart looking at the Dr. Grabow pipes display...so I think I am going to open the packaging and smoke that Omega...it was like $15 so not a big investment.

I just wondered if anyone else has Dr. Grabow pipes.

I own a bunch, but really only smoke the POY we did. I went crazy a few years ago buying Color pipes and have a bunch in varying conditions.

All are on my 'someday' project list.

I forgot about the POY...Irish Dane spear headed that if I remember correctly...I had one and never smoked that one either. I sold it to someone on the old site...I regret selling that pipe now now...

I have the Grabow POY, and have yet to smoke it. I'll save it for a special occasion now.

My first pipe was a Grabow Grand Duke. I liked it but lost it.
I have had a couple of others. ALL smoked just fine actually.

Post Aortic Valve replacement, and Post Cancer Chemotherapy, and Post Car wreck, and now all of this urological mess... my advice is...

Smoke the pipe and enjoy it. A pipe left unopened when you are dead will be thrown away as useless by the first non smoker that walks by it.

I probably smoke my Grabows more than any of my other pipes. I've made a thing of finding "cheap" pipes that are above average and I've found just a few in the Grabow Commodore line that definitely fit the bill. They are all older and pretty well made compared to any of the newer stuff. I really enjoy them.

I have an old Grabow Omega. Long-timers may remember it as my "condorized Grabow." It was dedicated to floral Lakeland blends.

It developed a crack in the shank and I haven't smoked it for years. But it still has a special place on the top shelf of my pipe rack.

I brought it down today to inspect for this thread. It still smells like old grandma's perfume, even to my covid-impaired nose.

This is something amazing. Just had to warn y'all that Lakeland Ghosts can haunt you forever.

Yeah, I too had an old pipe with a cracked shank that I wired up with a few twists of ss wire, that I tried a bowl or so of Condor in. What memories!

Steverino does. I think he is selling off his stash of pipes too. If you like the Dr. G, look him up. He had many.

I love Grabow pipes but am unfortunately quite clumsy and they break very easily. I don't currently have any in my rotation. I probably would if they could be found behind every drug store counter as they used to even ten years ago.
