Dr. Grabow Free Hand 02 Smooth Freehand Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates, 6mm

Dr Grabow might just be the quintessential American working man’s pipe. Created in 1932 by Linkman & Co., the Dr Grabow name soon became a staple in the American pipe world, being still produced today and enjoyed by novices and veterans alike.

The Free Hand was a rather late addition to the Dr Grabow lineup. Debuting near the end of the 20th century, it was, like so many traditional Anglo-French makes, Dr Grabow’s version of the Danish “fancy” freehand pipes that had taken the world by storm since the early post-war decades. This one takes on the “war club” aesthetic of many of the old Nording and Preben Holm pipes, while keeping to a size manageable enough for just about anyone.

The condition is good. Some inner rim darkening and a couple of worn out fills. The pipe is chambered to allow for the use of 6mm filters, though will perform perfectly well without if preferred.
