[[File:Dr -GrabowViking.png|thumb|Viking, courtesy Doug Valitchka]]Dr. Grabbow Viking and Viking 2 pipes are aluminum pipes with wood bowls. The Viking pipes are similar in design to the Falcon brand of pipe, so much so that Falcon won a lawsuit against Grabow. The original design looked very much like the Falcon, and was patented in 1954. In 1956 the multi-finned chrome plated design (more commonly seen) came out, and was no longer such a copy of the Falcon. The Viking pipes use one thread for their bowls, unlike the Falcon which uses four. The pipe body is aluminum, usually chromed and has cooling fins. Viking pipes utilize a lower bowl that the briar screws into. This bowl collects the moisture and tar from smoking and reduces bite to almost nothing. This pipe is no longer in production but estate pipes are readily available. | [[File:Dr -GrabowViking.png|thumb|Viking, courtesy Doug Valitchka]]Dr. Grabbow Viking and Viking 2 pipes are aluminum pipes with wood bowls.
