 |

Hey everyone maybe someone can help me. I've been to 5 places looking at Grabows and they all just have the small bowled pipes. I want one like the top Grabow in this picture. It's Grand Duke I bought last year. Has anyone seen any anywhere?

Sorry, couldn't get to the picture. Bet RJ'll have one. He has 2 of everything.
Post the picture again, and I'll get one from the factory, if it's still available, provided you can't find it elsewhere....ted |

Thanks Terry....Yes, I can probably get a #36 Grand Duke at the factory.
GW, if you can't find one here, just let me know, and I'll pick one up for you. I'm in Sparta about a day a week.....ted |

Ted,
Thanks. It doesn't have to be a Grand Duke. Anything in that shape and size I'd be happy with. Could I paypal you or send your cash?

Gilly....I'll send you a bill......Please send me a PM with the usual necessary post office information. I'm going to Sparta tomorrow.
I'll check Halsey Drug first. They might be a bit cheaper.....Glad to do it......ted |

Well, I thought we were talking about something along the BIG PIPE scale in looking at the picture and reading what was wanted. Unless your TED, it's hard to tell the size of the pipe in pictures, or for that matter, even in the shape charts because the drawings aren't always exactly to scale in relation from one pipe to another. The charts, for the most part, make the smaller pipes look as big, and sometimes BIGGER than the small ones!
Actually, I only have ONE actual #36 and it's the one I lost and found again and is badly weatherbeaten. Reminded me that one of my next projects is to send OS a bunch of pipes and let him work his magic on my #36 for me in return. I haven't forgotten, Ed! Just need to get a good block of time to take care of it.
Anyway, TED has indentified the pipe and is working to solve the need. Excellent! I bet there are some pipes in those cases at the factory Gilly'd love to have, too! --RJ--

Gilly, If someone has one, I'll let you decide. You may get a better offer from OS, or RJ.
I'll check the forum tomorrow. If you haven't had any luck by then, I'll pull the trigger. I'll buy one that I like....just in case I get to smoke it.....ted |

Well, if it's a NEW Grabow, you'll HAVE to smoke it first just so that it will be properly "Pre-Smoked" in the old Grabow manner. Of course, I can see a "value-added" charge tacked on for that very specialized service . . . --RJ-- |
