Been wanting one of the bamboo shanked Buddha pipe's by Roman Kovalev aka Dr's Pipes for some time now but they always get sold before I get there. Well This time I hit it just right, not only is it a Buddha with bamboo shank it's a Strawberry Wood Bowl so I now have a bamboo shank on every type of material, i.e. briar, olive wood, strawberry wood, meerschaum, corn cob, Morta and rock cob. :D
