I just bought this panel billiard BBB which was claimed to be unsmoked. Well I liked the shape and the price even though the markings don't scream BBB. Can anyone shed some light on what this is? It certainly does seem to be unsmoked. It definitely has BBB in a diamond on the shank but no stem logo. The "aged imported briar" in italics looks like Briarcraft to me. Did Briarcraft ever make BBB in the states? Unless there is some special value here I plan on smoking and enjoying this pipe.
Now that's a stinger!
