【Dr.Grabow】美國早期量產煙斗製造大廠，石楠木製雕刻型直式煙斗。

美國歷史悠久的量產煙斗老斗廠，亦設有手工煙斗部門...生產手工斗。

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 : 4.3，   斗寬 : 3.3，   斗口 : 1.8 公分。

此斗已整體手工打磨大翻新、染色、做膜完畢，外觀典雅~充滿古拙感。

斗嘴使用與彼得森一樣的P型斗嘴(軍插式)，斗身光滑平整..非常漂亮。

煙道頭段為3mm鑽孔，榫頭中段濾心處為3mm設定，斗嘴末端以2mm收尾。

該廠歷史資料豐富，僅節錄一部分早期該廠其他斗型與簡介~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 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.

D.G斗廠是間老牌斗廠(起始於1932年)，親民路線走向價格普及率很高。

軍插式榫頭雖可熱插拔...但是抽斗中除了清除煙道阻塞盡量少熱插拔。

此做法是減少熱插拔避免榫頭漏氣，雖然梯形榫頭可熱插拔~盡量少拔。

屬於中大型廠斗，一斗菸草約可享受45分鐘~(視有無助燃網和和技術)。

【一千八百元整】典雅的復古外觀當作老手或新手日常用斗~非常划算。
