    Wow, I smoked my first Dr. Grabow and might I say it is a very very good pipe for the price. I believe it comes out to around $5-6 a pipe for the lot I bought that contained this Grand Duke. I smoked the R. Gasparini first and thought it was a good smoke, until I lit up the Dr. Grabow. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality smoke that it provided. I smoked it until the very last bit of tobacco was left. When I went to empty the bowl (gently with the tool after it cooled for a bit) I noticed that there was about 95% ash and 5% tobacco. However, when I did the same with the R. Gasparini and there was 50% tobacco and 50% ash (due to a "crater" at the bottom of the pipe beneath the airhole and I only smoked half a bowl in each pipe). The only other pipe I have smoked is the Bent Bob, which burned too hot for my liking. I don't mean to hijack this thread I just wanted to comment that I now see why so many people have been writing "____ in my Dr. Grabow". So, without further ranting, PA in my Dr. Grabow Grand Duke.

    Hey Rrusco135,

    PA is Prince Albert, 3noggins is from 4noggins.com (I believe) idk about maplestreet.
    We use alot of abbreviations for different blends. Please see this thread here for some of the abbreviations we use. I can also send you a pretty detailed list in PM that I have copied from different places if you wish also. Sorry it is so confusing it took me a while to get used to it as well. (Im only 2 weeks old as a member).

    If light travels faster than sound is this why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    Hey Joe,
    I'm not a very big Flake fan, but I do love Escudo Navy De Luxe, and PS Bulls Eye Flake.

    I suppose Flake is the most fun, because it requires attention to the method of rubbing out or packing preparation. After all that is a big part of the whole pipe smoking experience. Welcome to a whole new world...

    Pssst: Be careful with "twists"/"rope" Virginias... they can be a little strange.
    That's not to say they aren't good, just very very different.

    Been away from the computer, but
    started the day with 4noggins' Weybridge in a Stanwell Colonial bulldog,
    and switched to P.A. for several bowls in the same pipe.

    I just tried out my free sample of "Savannah"....no re-lights at all....just kinda boring. Followed it up with H&H Daybreak.

    Villiger 1888 Mid Day in my Dr. Grabow Royal Duke. I find myself getting a little excited when I know that I can smoke my Grabow again after it has rested for a day or two. I truly think this is the best smoker I have.

    I think I finally found my favorite blend. The Mid Day is a nice aromatic that tastes/smells as good smoked as it does in the tin. I find myself letting the smoke drift out of my mouth rather than blow it out. A very good blend that I'm definitely stocking up on.

    I don't know what to smoke tonight. It is my first smoke in my new Savinelli. I have CBW, PA, Indian Summer, and "name that blend" from the contest (my submission is Mid Summer Night's Dream, though I feel they won't choose it). What do you guys think I should smoke tonight in my new pipe?
