Tsuge Grading Nomenclature

[thehappypiper]

Hello all

I saw this beautiful little bamboo-stemmed pipe the other day but it is a bit pricey. Could anyone enlighten me as to the grading terminology used by Tsuge?

And how on earth does one upload a JPeg from one's computer? I have literally never seen a froum which does not have an upload button!

So, I logged onto another site, uploaded the photo to that, then pasted the URL. Still don't know whether it'll work. What am i missing?

happypiper, take a look at the sticky section for instructions on how to post pictures. I'd like to see what you are looking at there. I much enjoy my Tsuge. Mine is not on the "pricey" side though. I think it was around a hundred bucks.
