You're right Kevin, no biggie to me; it's a beautiful pipe for a great price and I'm sure it will smoke wellKevin Keith wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 5:21 am @Rusticated, just FYI Shiny Pipes is a little off in their description. Dr Grabow began making the Freehand line in 1974, so it's not from the 1950s. No biggie, just an FYI.

I have a 03, 04, and an 07. I used to have 2 06s but I couldn't warm up to the shape. I love me a Grabow Freehand though!Rusticated wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 7:01 pmYou're right Kevin, no biggie to me; it's a beautiful pipe for a great price and I'm sure it will smoke wellKevin Keith wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 5:21 am @Rusticated, just FYI Shiny Pipes is a little off in their description.

I saw a GBD Prehistoric on eBay recently that looked like that 06 but didn't pull the trigger. Squatty flat little thing...I know some girls like thatKevin Keith wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 7:03 pmI have a 03, 04, and an 07. I used to have 2 06s but I couldn't warm up to the shape.

GBD makes squat poker(ish) looking pot-inspired pipe. Even in the Prehistoric finish, I have never really warmed up to the looks.Rusticated wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 7:16 pmI saw a GBD Prehistoric on eBay recently that looked like that 06 but didn't pull the trigger.

I've been an on-again/off-again pipe smoker for decades and I own ~50 pipes, but I have never owned a Dr. Grabow. Don't know how that happened, but that is what it is. Have recently been eyeballing the forum comments on Dr. G Freehands and I'm thinking of buying a new one.
If you own one or more I'd like to hear what you think of them. Has yours made it into regular rotation?

I recommend them.
