That's all you got? Brother, that's all you need. I truly loved this video. Everything was perfect, from the snow (winter is my favorite season), to the piano blues (I'm an amateur jazz pianist), to watching you do chores while smoking a pipe (truly badass). And then, the shift to the indoor scene, close up on your face, with your stern and serious scowl (you look like a boxer or MMA fighter about to execute your opponent in the ring)! Dr Grabow should hire you to be their spokesperson. Dr Grabow pipes are badass pipes, for badass pipe smokers! Thanks for the upload. I know it's 4 years old, but I just discovered your channel and was quite impressed. I'll subscribe.

I've been smoking my Cardinal for more than 25 years now. Still works just fine and I see no need to upgrade or get a new one. Still get my butter rum tobacco and filters from the same little shop I've gone to since I got the pipe, too.

Well said. I could not agree with you more. 👏 I really can’t see myself buying a pipe over $40 again. They just work so well. Kind of like Carter Hall and Prince Albert. I guess I’m just a simple gal, or becoming one. Love your videos. 🙂

Looks like Willards ran from 1963 to 75. I have found a couple in the antique stores that I check in on. A few years ago you could by a whole pipe stand full of old pipes for a song, $10 to $20 bucks??? Willard seems to have been another drug store briar back in the day.

Dr. grabow was the first brand of pipe I started with along with the missouri meershaum... Unfortunatly the last one I bought...A collectors choice...Wasnt made very well. The metal part of the bit came out of the bit and even after tryin to glue it back in with gorilla glue... It lasted only a month before commin loose again. Aint too sure I wanna buy anymore now although I still have some of the older ones I bought back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop and get blasted by a blizzard or another polar vortex. Only time will tell!
