【Dr Grabow】美國老牌量產煙斗製造廠早期出品，石楠木製雕刻彎斗。

雕刻的凹槽除美觀外主要是幫助散熱，濾心為6mm系統為此系列特殊處。

燃燒室與斗缽口沒燒蝕碳化崩塌情形，斗嘴手工打磨~烏黑晶亮沒咬痕。

斗長 : 14.0，   斗高 : 4.9，   斗寬 : 3.5，   斗口 : 1.8 公分。

外觀如新無須大翻新，只做美容保持原出廠狀態~外貌如新充滿古拙感。

屬廠斗裡中大型彎斗，一斗菸草可享受45分鐘~(視斗主技術有所增減)。

煙道頭段為3mm鑽孔，榫頭中段濾心處為6mm設定，斗嘴末端以2mm收尾。

該廠歷史資料超豐富，附上早期該廠其他斗型和簡介...分享如下 :

Dr. Grabow pipes began with Louis B. Linkman († 1957), of the M. Linkman and Co.

of Chicago in 1932 (Pat # 1 896 800). Linkman and Co. ceased producing the

Dr. Grabow pipes around 1953. After this date the brand was owned by

Henry Leonard and Thomas (HLT), Inc. of Queens,

New York and produced by Sparta Pipes Inc.
In 1969, US Tobacco acquired Sparta Pipes and rights to Dr. Grabow.
Lane Ltd. acquired the Dr. Grabow property from US Tobacco. Lane Ltd.

came under ownership of RJ Reynolds and British American Tobacco in about 2000.
Dr. Paul E. Grabow died in 1965 at age 97.
Production (2006): ~250,000 pipes/year
