If you're dead set on the Yeats in the smooth polished finish there are domestic options. First thing I'd do is call cupojoes. They have the smooth writers collection (look under Peterson pipes, then collections). I'd ask them to sell me just the one pipe. They do occasionally break up sets and sell individual pieces, examples of this practice are on their website quite often. If they won't, I'd ask them to order one for me. The advantage to this is you can get the exact pipe you want (color, choice of stem material, etc), the disadvantage is the wait.
I recently was hunting for a specific peterson that was nowhere to be found. I called smokingpipes (who would be my first choice, but in your case COJ seems to have the pipe you want in stock, albeit it's in a set) and talked to them about ordering the thing for me. I was initially told that the pipe could be a year out, that Peterson was backlogged in a big way, and that they didn't feel right about taking my money for a pipe that is unlikely to materialize for such a length of time. I dug further and ended up in a 4 way email conversation between Sykes (SP owner), the man at Ashton (the US importer for Peterson pipes), Tom Palmer of Peterson and myself. It was all very cordial and I wasn't trying to push anyting, just asking if it was even gong to be possible to ever obtain the pipe. All parties made it clear that absoutely wanted desired pipes in the hands of collectors and the end result was that some of these pipes will be shipped to Ashton in mid April and my pipe was ordered.
The point is, if you see something you like, ask and ask again. In my case, I simply found it odd that the pipe I wanted, not a terribly rare or unusual model, would be so hard to get, so I emailed Peterson directly and they forwarded it to Ashton who got the vendor involved, and the pipe was put i the manufacturing que. Being as thenpipenyoumwant is in a special edition that surely won't be made for much longer, I'd try to order it through a vendor and then contact Ashton if there is any kind of delay promised, get to the bottom of it and see if the pipe can be sourced. If not, you may have to go with an overseas vendor of be vigilant on EBay.
