Got mine today. I must say, I was a little disappointed. Don't know what I expected (probably a full-blown color catalog, or something), but, hey, I'm grateful I'm on the mailing list. I'll probably order something, just to let them know we're still out here.

Nothing here yet, maybe tomorrow. My wife just came in here and told me not to buy anymore pipes. I'm looking forward to ordering a few!

Got mine today. I'm a bit disappointed too. Mixed emotions here. Glad to see that they are finally making an effort, but I expected to see something along the lines of the old color insets. At least , now this finally defines for me what pipes they are making, if this in fact is the extent of the catalog. Or does this just represent what they have on hand for distribution right now. Sure would like to know.
For those of you who have not received yours, or haven't registered yet with Grabow, here are copies of the offering:

This offer is essentially identical to the offer DG ran last year. I don't believe this represents their entire inventory, but is just a variety of shapes they have and feel will be popular.
I'm happy to have a source for DG filters. Think I will order a couple of smooth FREEHAND. |

DRB is right - they have a lot more in the show room than they are showing on the chart. I guess at this time about the only way you can get one of the reserve series is to go to the factory and pick one out. I'm sure they'd send you one if you called and asked for it, but I can't imagine buying one without seeing it.
And DRB, here is a "case" of 12 boxes of filters on ebay. I don't know what the factory would charge for shipping on this quantity so don't know if it would be a deal or not - just thought I'd mention it since you were needing a source.

| The IPAL offer includes DG filters at $0.70/box, includes postage. So 12 boxes would cost $8.40. Bid accordingly. |

Just got mine today. Yep, bascially the same as what I got last year. I guess I got myself too excited thinking about all the possibilities of what we might be getting in the mail, but like Terry, I am a bit disappointed. They ought to let Barry spash some color on that "shape chart! Color copies aren't that high these days.
The prices are slightly higher than they were last year. I'll probably just order a Royalton and maybe a Freehand or something else just to take part in the "offer".
I wonder how many folks in total received this letter and offer by mail? --RJ-- |

Well, it only includes postage if you buy a pipe - didn't know if you were going to do that at this time. |

I got my mailing on Thursday. The smooth Royalton looks interesting to me. I think they just mailed to those who signed up on their website. Prices are pretty attractive especially since they include postage.
Whats the word on the 'special' for the Forum?
