'''M'''y name is '''Yiannos Kokkinos''' and I’m from the '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus Island of Cyprus]'''. I am running a Coffee Shop business and make freehand tobacco pipes in my spare time.
'''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...


Long time ago I purchased a  tobacco pipe kit from an online shop and made my first pipe. It was a deep bowl straight and I have enjoyed smoking it ever since. This is the first time my pipes have been displayed on the internet. Because I have a busy full-time job my production is very limited, but coming from an artistic background: I studied fine arts in Italy as a painter and I’m always thinking up new designs for future pipes and you can be assured that if you purchase a pipe from me it will be a one-of-a-kind.
'''A'''ll my pipes are totally hand made. Because of my limited space at my Coffee Shop, I only use the most basic of tools. [http://www.pipedia.org/index.php?title=Pipe_Making#Basic_Tools] I purchase briar plateaux from Greece, Italy and France and stems are hand-cut from the finest ebonite rod.
I love making pipes and I hope you will get as much enjoyment from smoking one of my pipes as I had carving it for you ...
Smoke in peace
'''Yiannos...'''
