Dr. Grabow Filter Pipes

[simplepipes]

Those of you with more knowledge about 70's through 90's era Dr. Grabow's than me (which means everyone) . . . which models have filters vs. those that do not. I would like to acquire a few more but am not interested in Filter Pipes.

Thank you . . .

I was going to ask why not? Then, I saw who was asking this question: Simplepipes. Never mind. I know the answer.

The answer is always "filters are for weenies"

The blue spades are a push stem FILTER pipe, yellow is a push stem STINGER equipped pipe, Orange is Westbrook which is STINGER adjustomatic. White is adjustomatic and I think they can be filter or stinger. My Silver Duke pot you see every day in WAYS is a filter pipe, but I smoke it without a filter.

I like filters but I prefer a pipe with a stinger, which may complicate the process for SP. The stinger collects a lot of gunk that requires a cloth vs. a simple pipe cleaner.

I don’t think Grabow makes a pipe without the ability for a filter. I prefer 6mm drilled pipes and never use one. I like the wide open draw.

Current production this is true.

@simplepipes, steer clear of all the Dukes: Duke, Grand, Golden, Silver, Royal, Crown. Also Berwyck.

Older Savoy and Larks, maybe. My Reject Lark is a push stem with removable stinger. You just have to see them broke down to be sure.

Look for Westbrook, Starfire, Commodore, Eldorado, Regal, Viscount. All those are no filter Ajustomatic. I’m sure I’ve left many out, but this will give you a place to start.

Please forward all unwanted 6mm and 9mm filters to me. I will take good care of them by lovingly using them!
