First Mimmo Provenzano

Fitzy, I believe you're correct. I'd be game with referring to him as testolina.

Nate we need a mod or Kevin to change his title to Testolina!

Thanks, but I prefer Your Eminence
That is what cigrmaster calls me and I have kind of grown accustomed to it,

It's not the same Mimmo as the briar cutter different guys but same first name.

Just to muddy the waters, there's also a briar cutter called Manno

That's a snappy little Canadian shape, nicely finished. I like its simplicity, the ultimate Canadian clencher. Cool.

 

[fitzy]

That's funny MSO. That's exactly what I was thinking when I bought it. I'm a clencher and I wanted to have a Canadian I can clench.

I bought this little Knudsen inspired gem a while ago. Very good bang for the buck.

I just purchased a Mimmo Morta similar to dcrguns's Bent Apple Morta. Haven't smoked it yet but will any day now.

Ha! Well that would explain the disparity in pricing. I remember the first time I ever stumbled across a "mimmo" pipe was as an estate on SPC wherein the description was the following "Mimmo makes pipes!". In fact, come on google...
Here it is!

Clearly marked correctly but I somehow ignored that and made a mental link to Romeo anyway!
Whatever, the pipes are still just as good as is the briar. Though I just remembered Mimmo P does use a finishing agent that has a remarkable resemblance to min-wax water based sealant. At least, that was my impression after finishing a floor with same.

I smoked my first couple bowls in it.
I've got to say I love the pipe. So light and petite. I'm going to have to figure out what types of tobacco I will use it for. It may make the perfect va flake pipe.
