Hi everyone!
My first post here. Greetings from Argentina!!

Does anyone know anything about R. Mittiga pipes? I just found that R.M. could be a Calabrian briar vendor, or a Brooklyn based Calabrian pipe maker for Italbriar Smoking Pipes (3802 Fort Hamilton Pkwy, Brooklyn)… Any thoughts?
I saw kbareit having one... Do you recommend it?

Cheers!!

Would be great to hear from Ken again as he's missing in action. Sorry that I am not familiar with that maker.

I came up empty, but probably hit on the same page as you.

Claims to be a well known pipe maker, but nobody on Pipephil or Pipedia mentions her work. hdscrtch

If you possess it, I would just clean it if need be and try it out.
I have some obscure pipes that beat that pants off of better known pipes.
