I'm not sure what part of Tsuge pipe tobacco might possibly be from Japan, other than the name. Tsuge is famous for its Japanese made briar pipes. The pipe tobacco uses various Perique sources and fire-cure tobaccos, as well as Virginias and burley. Drew Estates is headquartered in Estelí, Nicaragua, and we don't really know where the pipe tobacco is manufactured.
Like Rattray's pipe tobacco (no longer made in Perth), many are not made in the countries of their brands' origin. Well know brand names are just marketing tools.
