This is the greatest thread going!!! Thank you very much Jamie. I am sure this is not easy, and there is bound to be some trouble somewhere, but this is great for all of us cue-nuts. I really would not want to be the one deciding anything. So far, the cues are absolutely stunning. I love it.:thumbup:

I don't care which one of these cues wins the coveted
title of AZB Cue of the Year for 2011. I feel like I'm
a winner just for having had the opportunity to look
at everyone's beautiful cues. Thank you Jamie, for
hosting this thread and thank you to everyone else
who contributed to it. All of these cues are great...

we did this last year and it was fun, i had the Gracio 360 for a while this year. I saw a real one from the 1928 catalog when I owned my 360 Scott built.Scott did a great job, I just wanted to post this to praise Scotts work, and thank everyone who participated in this contest. IMO everyone here wins. I have a Tad that we built in 2011, I could add to the list. I might have a late entry in Dec coming as well. Lets have some fun, like I said everyone wins, were just blessed to be here.
 
Pandora

This cue was completed in 2011 for the ICCS show. It was custom built for Gian Calise ( drawman ) and its name is Pandora. Thanks for looking.

Wow Pete. Simply superb.

For those who recall the gorgeous burl and ivory cue Pete rolled out at last Valley Forge, "Aphrodite," this cue borrows some similar elements but is done in a box theme. It's aptly named "Pandora" who was daughter to Aphrodite and whose "box" is famous in Greek mythology.

Nice touch with the abalone

I am not sure I got a Cue this year that people would go gaga over after seeing Tikkler's 2011 pickup. Mine just are Cue that play good, and not too fancy. Fancy arrive next March in the form of a tribute.
 
Many worthy contenders........My personal vote would come down to the Gracio 360 or the first Sugartree.

If I could choose any cue posted thus far as my personal cue it would be the Mike Webb Hoppe.

Congrats to all the lucky owners of the cues posted on this thread.

Shouldn't cue of the year be cues made this year?

Maybe there should be a category on the theme. Otherwise I think the black boar cues will just blow away any other competition. Ok maybe except Manzino.

But I am immensely enjoying this thread!
