'''M'''y name is '''Yiannos Kokkinos''' and I’m from the '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus Island of Cyprus]''' | '''M'''y name is '''Yiannos Kokkinos''' and I’m from the '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus Island of Cyprus]''' I am a pipe-maker by profession but I also run a small Cafe Shop where clients can peacefully enjoy their smoke with a drink. | ||
My first encounter with pipe-making goes back to my student days (I studied fine arts in Italy) when I purchased a tobacco pipe kit and made my first pipe. It was a life changing experience and the result was a deep bowl straight pipe; even though it has a very sentimental value for me, and is kept in a display cabinet, I still enjoy smoking it. | |||
This is the first time that my pipes are being displayed on the internet. | |||
Due to the fact that I work with very basic tools, and only at times of inspiration, my production is quite limited, but every piece is unique with an artistic background: | |||
All my pipes are crafted traditionally by hand. My studio and work shop is just above my Cafe Shop, and as I mentioned earlier, I only use the most basic of tools. | |||
I use briar plateaus from Greece, Italy and Spain and make stems from the finest rod. | |||
My pipes are made with love and I hope you will get as much enjoyment from smoking one of my pipes as I had carving it for you... | |||
