Dr Grabow Viscount Rusticated Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates
Out of stock
Description
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.
Aside from being a good, trusty briar, this Viscount by Dr Grabow shows off a distinctive approach to finishing, combining wire rustication with snaking channels of broader, deeper carvings. It’s a little reminiscent of the old Sasieni “Rustic,” leading me to wonder whether the grain itself played a part in how the finish ended up the way it has.
The condition is great. Very minor rim darkening.
