New member here posting pic of some of my collectionHello everyone,I'm a new member here on the forums and I just wanted to say hi and post a pic of my Dr. Grabow collection. I have only been collecting for about six months or so. I am hoping to learn from the experts on here and also share in the kindred spirit of pipe smoking and collecting. -Tony

Welcome To DGCF Tony! Nice looking collection ya got there! Most of your pipe's look like there from the Continental series. Or the X-series coupon pipes. I have one just like the top right one(X03). Thought your stem was wrong being bent,but looking at the chart's-mine's wrong(straight). Also have the same shape as the one 2nd down on left,but mine is a Rustic SilverDuke. Enjoy your stay and the great info!Thought this may be of intrest to you:

new member here....Hi Everyone and thanks for your nice comments. I'm happy to be aboard.To answer "Ozark Southpaw's" question...
Since I have really only been smoking a pipe as long as I have been collecting (6 months or so), I haven't tried too many tobaccos. So far I have stuck with your basic tinned aromatics (Mac Baren, Dan Tobacco, Solani, Cornell & Diehl...). Recently I purchased a bulk tobacco from Pipeworks & Wilke #191. It is the best aromatic I have tried so far, with Cornell & Diehl #734 a close 2nd. Being a n00b pipe smoker I haven't felt the urge to get into the English blends or too many of the Virginia blends yet. I haven't acquired a Lark yet but I am always scouring the internet for a pipe that is pleasing to the eye and something that I can get for semi-cheap and put a little time into restoring. Since part of the fun of collecting for me is the actual restoration of a pipe that looks sad and not overly abused. -Tony |

Hi Tony and welcome. Looks like your collection is coming along nicely, some really great looking pipes there. I won't mention any names, but there are some fellows on here who can tell you just about anything you want to know about Grabows. Also, there is already a wealth of info in the existing threads. I stayed busy for days reading them. | ||

Welcome Tony! Nice collection and excellent photo! Some of the Continental models seem to have both both slightly bent stems and straight stems, depending perhaps, on when they were made. I noticed the differences but there are so many other avenues of research, that I didn't pursue that further. Fortunately, we have quite a few DGCF members now and several have niches of collecting and researching interests, so little by little things are recorded and new things are found out. Again, Welcome! --RJ-- |
