This from Sally Gottleibson (The Pipe Tart):
RAFFLE FOR YIANNOS
Many of you know by now that my good friend Yiannos Kokkinos had a break in at his works. Pipes, tools, briar, rods, etc were stolen. Losses estimated at around €15,000(a bit over $16,000) I want to do what I can to help a man who is kind and generous. Many time he has raffled off one of his pipes to raise money to help others in need. Now our friend is in need so I am having a raffle for him. For $25 you can have a chance to win an unsmoked pipe by Yiannos(I have a bakers dozen in my collection and never got around to making this one) and an unopened 2017 tin of McClelland’s Frog Morton’s Cellars. The raffle will be open for one month. The drawing to select the winner will be held on February 25th. I hope to raise $1000 to send to Yiannos.
If you would like to help a fellow piper and enter this raffle, you can send $25 via PayPal to thepipetart@aol.com
The pipe community is the best. Please help me help Yiannos.
UPDATE: Since we have received more donations, we will have two winners.
Each winner will receive a pipe and half the tobacco.
Another new donation….2 large 2002 tins of C&D Autumn Evening donated by Tobacco Treasures.
Update….another Yiannos pipe and a tin of Cult Blood Red Moon has been donated to the raffle by another great friend of Yiannos, Lennea Wolfe.
It is hard to put a price on the value of this prize package. Neither tobaccos are being made anymore. I have seen the Frog Morton go for up to $150.
2 pipes by Yiannos and 2 tins of tobacco. It could be yours for $25.
UPDATE to the UPDATE: Sally has received additional contributions, including a tin of both McClelland Three Oaks Syrian and Esoterica And So To Bed from moi.
