The Lucid wasn't cheap ($50 on sale, $70 msrp), but it's one of Ted Breaux's and I'd been waiting for it to become readily available in the States. http://www.shoppersvineyard.com/product_new.asp?pID=34286 We've picked up a couple of bottles of La Fee "Bohemian" in Prague in the past. Czech Absinthe doesn't louche properly, so we routinely use it for drinks that call for Pernod/Herbsaint.
