Email sent regarding whether he sells to ideapipes or China in general
If you blow up the picture, you can see that they are stamped "Italy" on the shank.
It actually looks like most of their range is stamped Italy
Doesn't China own Italy now?......................... ?
well if a tiny apartment cost as much as it does in Italy then figure out how much per square foot that is and half it (bulk discount very bulk) and multiple that by Italy's square footage minus a few regions and that equals all of the money ever. So a lot.How much do you think the rent might be?

What I am wondering more and more (And this is apolitical?) is whether or not they are leasing USA as well... As much as they want it I don't think they can afford it
If you look back at the questions I asked, they said the Dublin Rusticated was made in their factory.
I never really looked at the site, I assumed all these pipes where made in China.
It would be nice to know who in Italy is making these. Hmm

Italy has the capacity, and cranks out a lot of 3 party pipes...
You're welcome, that's why those videos are only available on another forum now.?"Thank you embers for mentioning the muttonchop videos, I've learned so much"
It is possible that they buy bulk briar in Italy and do final finishing in China.
Once I hear back from Mimmo and have his permission to post his response, I will.

I'd be surprised if he tells you who his specific customers are. He might tell you he sells in general to China because he does: he has info on his website that's in Chinese! Romeo Briar - Briar Shop - https://www.romeobriar.com/briarshop/index.html
I’m having email communications, back and forth with the company with questions, and looking for clarification on several things.
When I get clarification on these I will share, in the meantime, I was told they made a mistake on the label, which shows China instead of Italy.
Thanks @PipeIT
Frequently travel to Asia and know there are a lot of products that are not as advertised no matter what they say on them.
So turns out I can’t get one of their hand made pipes for free. Oh well was worth a shot. Anyways I have taken them up on the offer of a semi finished briar stummel and an acrylic stem that they make. All up would come to $18us shipped. I choose the semi finished option as I am really curious about the briar used. On principle i probably would never recommend for someone to pay $60us for the rusticated dublin, given what’s already available at that price figure (estate market or new), but under $20 is a different story all together.
Ok turns out you are only able to get finished pipes as part of the tester offer. Back to square one. Who would have thought this would have been so difficult lol
