Quote from a paper on BBB pipes by Jacques Cole:
“Probably one of the first filter pipes (paper filter) was the BBB "Sir Morell Mackenzie". That this pipe was made before 1900 is shown by a letter dated August 27, 1891 from Sir Morell Mackenzie regarding these models with longer mouthpieces. The brand survived into the 1960s.”
Sir Morell Mackenzie (1837-1892) was a British physician, one of the pioneers of laryngology in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless he failed to diagnose the throat cancer of German Emperor Frederick III.

BBB這品牌很早就有水貨進來台灣,
這個英式煙斗品牌影響了許多台灣的煙斗族。
老娘1979年接觸到這品牌是在台北晴光商場委託行,
這品牌早年大多由委託行自行帶進來,
或是高雄和基隆港船員帶進來的商品。
這支BBB收藏品屬高等級三顆星級,
雖沒特別標明,但屬於BBB裡少量的手工級煙斗。
BBB有手工級煙斗 ? 有滴 ! 在上面原廠資料裡您就可看到 !
老娘老了這些收藏品子女沒抽菸也不感興趣,
只好慢慢釋出做安排,否則遲早上垃圾車 !
這是此波釋出手工級裡的幾隻漂亮的收藏品(極具歷史意義)。
此斗在使用過程中造成兩處小凹洞,
這兩個小凹洞老娘沒填補。
為啥不填補 ? 填補後顏色會更明顯不填補完全無礙美觀。
這種決定是屬於修護翻新時煙斗工藝師的經驗和審美觀,
翻新後不仔細看,是看不出這兩處使用痕跡的。
萬一填補了...反而因兩處黑點(會有不協調的突出感滴) !
這支充滿歷史感的BBB三顆星高階斗釋出的真不捨 !
這算是V型鑽孔的早期煙斗(鼻祖級),
近代噴發式手工斗斗缽.....幾乎大部份都是V型鑽孔。
另一個迷人處是扁桃型煙道頭段延伸至...
斗嘴順勢成為長扁桃型,到尾端成為薄型嘴(唇觸感超迷人)。
這支英式早期老斗整體感.....真是漂亮 !
【已被斗友收藏】絕版英式高階斗值得收藏 !
