2018.06.04                  星期一                  晴

【Dr.Grabow】美國老牌量產煙斗製造大廠出品，石楠木製雕刻胖胖斗。

造型太討喜人見人愛的早期老款式，煙道頭段外徑超粗勇~結實又耐用。

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 : 14.5，   斗高 : 3.4，   斗寬 : 4.2，   斗口 : 2.0 公分。

此斗已整體手工打磨大翻新、染色、做膜完畢，外觀光滑平整~超古拙。

斗型充滿復古風格(又稱番茄斗)，圓滾滾的外型和粗壯的煙道~是亮點。

煙道頭段為3mm鑽孔，金屬半圓榫頭濾心為6mm設定，斗嘴末端2mm收尾。

該廠歷史資料超豐富，附上早期該廠其他斗型資料與簡介...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 logo is the propeller pre-spade marking.

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.

這種胖胖斗老娘日常用斗裡有留，斗身不重~適合長時間叼斗非常帥氣。

斗型超討喜(越戰時期美式電冰箱的概念)，一整個美式風格~很有特色。

還好此斗型不貴整理得又非常漂亮，對老斗迷們...不致收藏太過吃力。

【一千八百元整】適合老手當日常用斗，新手當作練習斗...綽綽有餘。
