I was eyeing this one earlier today and trying to resist. Then SP dropped 20% off on me. Trigger pulled. I have always been very impressed with Tsuge's lower end pipes, as they are a fantastic value and excellent smokers. Been wanting to "upgrade" to one of their higher end hand made pipes for a while now, just been waiting for the right one (not a huge fan of the refonkulously wonky shapes). Rather gently smoked, super minimalist, and in great condition. Very excited to load it up!
