[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 380069, member: 1690"] Nah. I just googled it and it pops up fleetingly on other pipe forums. Dr. Grabow at one time wanted to go a bit upscale so they apparently had a "Big Boy" made for them by Alpha. "Big Boy," I believe, is a grade designation, not the name of the pipe--like a Peterson "Shannon." Alpha has its own history, though. I always thought it was an Israeli pipe, but the two (Big Boys) currently on eBay are Italian. Who knows? It certainly ain't me. Speaking of obscure origins, anybody ever hear of an [i]Afflick & Co[/i]. pipe? It's made in England, it's decent wood, smokes as well as any, and drives me crazy because I can't find anything about its maker, nor have I ever seen another. I suspect it was a small shop or store in England and escaped from the same black hole as the "Big Boy." [/QUOTE]
