BBB (Britains Best Briars) London Made Pipes One of a handfull of pipe manufacturers that can truly call themselves London Made. BBB pipes have been around for well over a century in the Oppenheimer factory with their flagship brand Comoys. We haven't seen any new releases from BBB for quite a while so it was a pleasant and much welcomed surprise to see a new range on the stand this year. The BBB Sprint is a new range from BBB who have remained very traditional over the years but this year they have added some subtle contemporary styling.
BBB Sprint Red This BBB Sprint Red is a classic curved Strawberry with a tapered stem. The bowl is finished in a unique deep brown with a hint of grey, which compliments the rich Brass and red bands in the stem. It is a good sized pipe with fairly thick briar walls to help prevent overheating while the modest overall dimensions help keep the weight down. The bore is smaller than you would expect for a pipe of this size, which is good for those who don't want a full bodied hour long smoke. The pipe is filtered with the metal condensing style filter system.
Condensing Metal Filter The BBB Sprint Briar pipes incorporate the re-usable metal filter system. The metal filter is suspended in the middle of a moisture trap, which forces the smoke to spiral round the cool metal before entering the stem. This causes condensation, which naturally removes tar and moisture deposits from the smoke trapping them in the shank for a cool pleasant smoking experience. Simply wipe clean in between smokes. The metal filter can be removed all together for smokers who prefer a totally un-restricted full bodied smoke.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a generic image that we have taken from a random selection of this pipe model from our stocks. It is unlikely to be the exact pipe you will receive. Due to the nature of the raw material used and this being a handmade product there will be some variation in grain, colour and finish. There could also be a slight variation in the dimensions provided.
