Dr Grabow Royal Duke Pipes

Pipe shape not as pictured. Otherwise OK

Well I should have paid attention to this notice: Dr. Grabow Pipes are delivered in assorted dozens, so you may not get the exact pipe pictured. So pipe I got is a Royal Duke but with much larger bowl and angled sides. Still Grabow makes good pipes with filters which is a plus.

It is light and comfortable

It a good smoking pipe and i will buy it again but i order the bent stem and i recived a straigh steam

It a good smoking pipe i like it because it lite easy to hold in your mouth i will be trying the bent one next

Have always use Dr Grabow pipes and appreciate how long they last and stand up to every day usage.

So far my favorite pipe. I’m new to the pipe world and have purchased a Brigham, a savinelli, 2 Grabows, and a Peterson. I particularly like how the more slender stem on this pipe fits between my teeth. It has a deep bowl, and the pipe has a beautiful starburst pattern in the wood. Sure, there are some really nice and fancy pipes out there, of which I’ll probably buy many, but I do really like the simplicity, reliability, and history that I get from purchasing a Dr. Grabow.

Can’t beat the price I probably got em all

The pipe smokes well but is small in size.

The smaller bowl holds perfect amount for my morning commute. Burns cool and easy to light while in the car.

Nice smoking pipe like all the grains pipes

No flaws I love the straight line. It smokes cool and the bowl is small so I smoke less

Great pipe well balanced-----now if I can only stop dropping it --thanks

Can't beat it for the price

Very good !

Well Built Pipe

Perfect for a small smoke

I really like this pipe it is light and smokes really well. One of my favorites as someone new to pipe smoking.

nice looking pipe and smokes great

I like the idea of a 6mm pipe filter; Thank you for a “Great Pipe”.....

The last grabow Royal Duke that I bought was about twice the size of this one... they vary so much! I have two or three issues with it, but there would be a good answer for each issue, none of which I am prepared to accept! Thanks for being there, because I can find no grabow pipes or accessories in this town. In a brick-and-mortar place, that is. no sweat. Thanks.

I have only smoked out of Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipes. (8 different models) I was debating on where to go on my next venture into pipe smoking. Figured I would try a briar, True meerschaum and a clay. With all the choices it is a daunting task but one day I was at my local tobacconist and he had a rack of Dr Grabow's. I turned the rack till one caught my eye. The Royal Duke straight rusticated. I have smoked 5 bowls as of yet and still in the break in process but it seems to be a quality pipe. The only thing that I'm not used to yet is the draft seems to be a little tight compared to my cobs but not overly restrictive. I am glad I made the choice to but the Dr Grabow pipe for my briar "test". Now I just need a meerschaum and a clay.

Love it, just got into pipes...its a little hard to just keep clenched.

Need a stem already, burns hot?

Good smoking pipe

Good pipe for the price. It's lightweight and I can clench it in my teeth without getting lockjaw or a broken tooth.

Have used the 'Duke' line for many years and was not disappointed with this latest addition. Dr. Grabow lives up to their ongoing standards with a quality product at an economical price. I would recommend this line to any newcomers to the pipe world.. a good way to start and a great line to stay with.... smooth and no bite...

Since this was going to be my first pipe, I had very low expectations. I bought this particular pipe because it wasn't expensive and as I learn how to smoke a pipe, I wouldn't be too concerned if it burned out on me. I was pleasantly surprised after my first bowl. It is an easy to smoke pipe, but I really don't have anything to compare it to. The pipe itself is very small. As one reviewer said, it almost looks like a toy pipe. No worries, I will pay more attention to the pipe's dimensions next time. Overall, it's a nice little pipe that performs well. I won't hesitate to buy another slightly larger Dr Grabow pipe in the future.

The pipe is little small for me however it is very well made and smokes excellent.

I have about 5 - 7 Dr. Grabow pipes but I like the Royal Dukes the best. The bowls are larger with thick sides so the smoke burns cool and even. Plus......the prices from P&C are great for a fairly good pipe.

I like the plain Duke and the Grand Duke better. The Royal Duke has a very narrow passage in the stem and pipe cleaners buckle and wan't pass easy.

This is really a great little pipe. It definitely stands up value wise against any other pipe you can find. It smokes as well as pipes for which I've paid 3 or 4 times as much. The carbon-lined, pre-broken-in bowl (or whatever they call it) did make the break in process much faster. Something about the way the drill hole goes into the heel of the bowl is odd; it gets clogged more than usual when you get down to the very bottom of the bowl. But that's not a big problem, just an occasional annoyance that I've also had with much more costly pipes. The shape is slightly irregular, it's not quite perfectly symmetrical and has a few small cosmetic flaws. The bowl is also a little smaller than I expected. But again, that's not really a problem. In fact it comes in handy often, when I'm looking for a shorter smoke but don't feel like smoking one of my very small "featherweight" type pipes. For that reason, I've found myself reaching for this pipe more than I thought I would, and it has worked its way into the my most frequent rotation. I would definitely recommend these pipes, for anyone looking to expand their collection without breaking the bank, or if you're looking for a solid smoker that you can travel with or take outdoors without fear of banging up. Buy one to keep in the car. I'll probably buy more.

I love these pipes and have used them for years. However I am going to complain about the stems on these pipes. The last 2 pipes I bought lasted less than 6 months before the stems cracked and fell apart. The one I just bought less than a month ago already showing the same issue. Aside from that, they are great pipes. To Dr Grabow...use better materials in your stems please.
