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.
