PAD has been so strong these past two months that now I am buying pipes out of curiosity.
I have truly acquired some really nice ones these past few months.
Last night I couldn't sleep. I pinched a nerve in my neck and I am on all sorts of pain meds... (I don't even drink) so the meds really knocked me for a loop.
I came across this pipe on ebay called a VOLKAN... from Italy... there were about 10 of them on ebay with 100-$400 BINs... but three were up for bids... and NO ONE bid on them, (which I should have perhaps taken as a warning), but they looked good. I couldn't find any horrible info on them here... or on the internet - so, I took the plunge and for $15 + $15 shipping from Italy.
Beautiful grain. Hand cut Acrylic stem. Supposedly it was handmade by some esteemed master pipe maker from Denmark...

Do you mind sharing your feelings about the Volkan after a few years now? I bought one myself recently on eBay and while it hasn’t yet arrived, it looks beautiful so I’m hoping they smoke as nice as they look. Much appreciated.
