[Cigars4Troops]

Good evening Pipe Bums!

Some of you have been asking how you can help out, what you can do for the Troops, well now is your chance to help us help them and also have a chance at a wonderful prize!

All raffle tickets sold during this event will go towards shipping costs which will get us through till the end of the year, including the Christmas rush we tend to get each year.

**This raffle will be advertised on two forums, the winner will be announced either on V-Herf live, or via the NY State Pick 3 Lotto upon the close of the raffle.**

Our goal is to sell 99 tickets, each ticket is $5 and a maximum of 5 tickets allowed per member.

Please send PP for all raffle tickets to [email protected] Please use the Friends and Family option and DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THE COMMENTS SECTION.

Send donation, post your name here and the amount of tickets purchased!

If you have any questions please feel free to contact myself or my good friend Tobias Lutz.

Now onto the Grand Prize!

This is a hand made pipe from one of my friends on another forum, it was generously made and donated specifically to help out the Troops!

I'm buying my 5 tickets this evening! Thanks for putting this together Ray!

[Cigars4Troops]

Made a small change, I can only sell 99 tickets since I am probably using the Pick 3 to determine winner.

So eliminate the first number in drawing and the next two will be the winner. Example 714 comes out, whomever has ticket 14 wins.

I will assign everyone tickets based on thread time-stamp.

Not sure if bumping sticky does anything but pushing this back up, hopefully we get some interest from CB this weekend.

I'm planning to purchase 4 tickets, but my bank account got disconnected from my PP when it was bought out so I'm waiting to get it linked again.

We are hoping to sell 99, but that may not happen. The drawing will be held sometime Mid-April, will iron out a date with Tobias this weekend.

Excellent, I've already spent my tobacco money this month, but a new month is on the horizon!

[cbr310]

When's this go off, and what lottery?
Never mind. I missed that post.

[NarJar]

FYI... It looks like Nature bought 4 tickets but received 5 numbers. If he received 4 numbers, MarkC could have the fifth number he paid for.

Congrats Monkey! Thank you for the raffle Cigars4Troops. I'm glad you were able to hit your mark.

[Monkey]

Sweet, now I get to see if a BTP pipe really lives up to the hype. That and the Stonehaven of course.

[Cigars4Troops]

Thank you everyone....it was a great turn out!

Thanks Tobias for all the help with this.

[tmoran]

Congrats Monkey. Happy to support the cause.

[NarJar]

Congratulations Monkey! I'm jealous, a sweet pipe and some sweet tobacco!

Thanks to all who donated! The troops are winners because this will help provide some relaxation and a "getaway" from the everyday stress they're enduring, and we're winners because they're protecting and fighting for our freedom!

[Horsefeathers]

Congrats! I was bummed I was unable to buy any tickets.

[mooster]

I'd sell you a couple of mine, but I'm holding on to them for the secondary market...

[Cigars4Troops]

will give you $7.84 + PP fees for each one.

You better throw in some LE Pete Johnson cigars to make it legit :)

[Monkey]

And the swag has arrived! Came in last night so I took pictures on a dirty table so you can see a repeat of what was in the OP.

The pipe is really gorgeous. Super smooth finish with fantastic grain. The tamper has a natural bottom on it that looks really nice as well. Of course the included tobacco is ok as well. Might use it in some potpourri or something.

Haha...he must have opened the Firedance Flake!
