I AM A WINNER!!!!![/SIZE]
I've been pining after a Tsuge ever since I saw my first one. The only problem is the nice ones cost $400+ for the Ikebanas. Sure, there's the Arashi line, and the Triangle line, but have you looked at them? If not for the name stamped on it, I honestly don't think I'd know them from a Stanwell or Peterson. The thing that saddened me about Tsuge pipes is that to get a pipe with even a hint of Tsuge style, you had to buy an Ikebana.
But then, this beauty popped up on eBay... It actually looks like a Tsuge!!! Sure, it's not as radical and wild as the Ikebanas, but there's a lot more than just a hint of the Ikebanas that I think are so awesome. And the grain just looks incredible. $68 shipped. Man that's gonna hurt my pocketbook, but it'll be soo worth it.
