Dr Grabow Viscount 271 Patent Smooth Dublin Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates

Description

Dr Grabow might just be the quintessential American working man’s pipe. Created in 1932 by Linkman & Co., the Dr Grabow name soon became a staple in the American pipe world, being still produced today and enjoyed by novices and veterans alike.

I think this might be the first time I’ve seen this shape from Dr Grabow, and I have to say, I really like it. The paneled shank, collar, and stem contrasts with the more traditionally inclined Dublin bowl just wonderfully. Speaking of the bowl, the grain patterns on this Grabow are just excellent. Lastly, at just 30 grams, this one should be a dream clencher.

The condition is great. Some finish fading on the rim and minor residual oxidation on the pipe’s ebonite stem.
