WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING!! WE CAN"T HEAR YOU ANYWAY BECAUSE EVERYTHING HERE IS TYPED!!
Now if you will continue in a more normal tone of voice I will suggest that you post some images. This much I can tell you. Your BBB, Blumfeld's Best Briar, also known as Britain's Best Briar was made in 1912. At the time that this pipe was made, BBB was at the pinnacle of English pipe makers.

There are a lot of intolerant people on this forum. Maybe the OP is hard of hearing? Deaf people often type louder because they can't read themselves. Magnifying glasses help, but sometimes they just need us to sit closer to the screen when we're typing. Is that so difficult?
"Maybe the OP is hard of hearing?"
Maybe he (or she) just took that Forum rule concerning capitalization too literally.

Whatever caused him to ask in all caps, I bet he's confused now and still seeking an answer. Poor guy! The typed word is indeed a way of giving "voice" to thoughts, ideas, etc. It's tough to convey inflection in the written voice, and shouting is a way of calling attention. Perhaps he was afraid of being ignored and felt he had to raise his voice.
And, why in the hell am I wasting my time being an apologist for him and certain members of the forum.
Imagine trolling for a simple answer and being treated so shabbily.

For the "good of the children" you should give us all of your pipes and tobaccos, too. After all, we don't want you setting a bad example - we'll do it for you!
