Has anyone used the stem replacement service that the Dr. Grabow factory offers? At $12 it sounds like a good deal but it's only for Dr. Grabow pipes.

I didn't know it existed.
Did you already break your new pipe?
No, I got some Grabows that need new stems. Thought I would give it a try.Quote:

Periodically, we receive pipes which are burnt out or have completely broken or cracked shanks. Sadly, these cannot be repaired and should not be sent in for repair.

I've actually had luck finding old Grabows at flea markets and antique shops and with a little coaxing the stems can be made to fit...but that takes effort. Who has time for that?
I'd say give it a shot and report back on the quality of their service.
