i believe you can buy those same Tsuge's new on smokingpipes for $45 every now and then... we even had a thred dedicated to "big sale on Tsuge's" at one time... was a few pages long.
seems that smokingpipes has since ran out of them.
(not trying to burst your bubble of joy, just making an observation)

i've been planning on selling mine, which has outstanding grain, on ebay... i saw one go for $90 (double what they go for new) a few months back. i don't smoke mine anymore... might as well put it to good use.

edit: actually, a couple nights back i was checking prices on ebay and saw that auction, and a few others. i was planning on ebaying off a couple pipes and tobaccos between business trips, but life gets in the way.
