【Dr.Grabow】美國早期煙斗製造大廠出品，石楠木製蘋果型直式煙斗。

圓圓的斗缽握感非常迷人，重新染色做舊風格~使得此斗沉穩透著俏皮。

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 : 13.8，   斗高 : 3.2，   斗寬 : 3.5，   斗口 : 1.8 公分。

此斗已整體手工打磨大翻新、染色、做膜完畢，外觀圓潤~鏡面效果優。

屬中型斗，一斗菸草可享受30分鐘(視有無助燃網&斗主冷吸技術增減)。

煙道頭段4mm鑽孔，金屬螺旋榫頭~冷凝器一體成形，斗嘴末端2mm收尾。

附上該廠歷史資料，與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

蘋果斗外型有著超人氣~擁護者眾，金屬螺旋榫頭可熱插拔是此斗亮點。

許多斗友會習慣性的熱插拔斗嘴，造成三天兩頭回倉庫~修正榫頭鬆動。

若您這習慣難修正 ? 那麼建議您使用這種早期專為煙道阻塞的好設計。

清洗斗嘴請從斗嘴尾端反插回榫頭清洗，其餘保養~與一般煙斗沒差異。

【一千二百元整】親民的價位極據歷史意義，無論老手或新手~皆適宜。
