| So do you guys think it was rare for me to find the #36 Grand Duke at the grocery store here last year? |

Went to the place were I buy my OTC tobacco's the other day. They have finally gotten some Grabows there. Most of them were small pipes. No 36's. Did have a Golden Duke and a Royalton I really liked but I spent all my money on tobacco and filters!

Gilly, I guess it is more rare than I thought. Halsey Drug only had 1 #36 out of about 60 pipes and it had a large dark spot on it. The Grabow showroom only had 2 out of about 200.
RJ's friend Robert Roten fixed us up. I got a Royal Duke for you because the finish on the Grand Duke looked awful. You'll like this one. I'll get it in the mail this afternoon.
They had a #19 that I'd been wanting so I splurged for $40, and am tickled with it. Because of buying 2 we got a discount (much cheaper than Halsey Drug) and a free 3 pack of filters for you. Your total is $25.00 including shipping......I'll include my address in the package....Glad to help....ted |

Ted,
You're the best. I'll send you the cash as soon as it's here.
I went about 20 miles out of town today for a test and stopped at a Walgreens and hanging there was a saddle bit Grand Duke shape #36. Now that you've confirmed the rarity of my favorite Grabow maybe I should go back and grab it. |

Ted,
I got the package today. This has to be the best looking Grabow. First off the grain looks really nice and it is not covered in the glossy lacquer like my other Grabows. It's slightly smaller than my #36 Grand Duke, but I think it may be perfect because sometimes the Grand Duke takes too long to smoke a full bowl. I'll be sampling some SWR in it after lunch. I'll get your money to you too this afternoon.
Thanks again!
