【Dr.Grabow】美國老牌量產煙斗製造大廠，老石楠木製造雕刻型彎斗。

雕刻紋路已有刷養一陣子了，繼續用豬鬃毛刷~刷養到凹痕溫潤時超美。

燃燒室與斗缽口沒燒蝕碳化崩塌情形，斗嘴手工打磨後烏黑晶亮沒咬痕。

斗長 : 14.5，   斗高 : 4.3，   斗寬 : 3.5，   斗口 : 1.9 公分。

此斗已整體手工打磨翻新、雙色染、做膜完畢，菸油暈染的油亮古拙。

已刷養到一個程度很漂亮，並且是軍插式榫頭和類"彼德森"的P型斗嘴。

煙道頭段為3mm鑽孔，軍插式榫頭濾心3mm設定，斗嘴末端以2mm做收尾。

歷史資料超豐富，節錄一部份早期斗型與簡介分享如下 :

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

The earliest Dr. Grabow pipes are stamped with both Linkman's and Dr. Grabow, described as Bruyere, or Italian Briar.

Pre-1944 model names included the SPECIAL, the DELUXE (this pipe), and the SUPREME.

The Linkman's stamp was discontinued around 1944.

Linkman's Dr. Grabow pipes are also stamped with a 4-digit code indicating the model and shape.

喜歡玩老斗就是要此斗的感覺，菸油暈染滲透油亮~木紋深邃又富變化。

一支全新煙斗想養到這程度...最快也得2~30年，油亮感是仿不出來滴。

早期煙斗用料好是不爭的事實，這就影響到了抽斗~吸水與耐熱的品質。

【一千七百元】這支玩刷養的聖品您可繼續刷養，會越刷越美越漂亮滴。
