【Best British Briar】英國老牌知名煙斗品牌，老石楠木製直式煙斗。

BBB的知名度因為英格蘭日不落國的海上貿易...早已深植全球斗客心中。

此斗已整體手工打磨翻新、雙色染、做膜完畢，整支斗美得令人融化。

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.
