Gorgeous............, but I have to question the wisdom in shipping a multi-thousand dollar cue in such inadequate packaging.

Inadequate???...The cue is fully wrapped in bubble wrap, with each part fully separated, then "bubble wheels" at two points to suspend the cue in the center of the packaging to protect against the occasional bump to the package..
Absolutely nothing inadequate about it imo...
Skins ------------- has received several "bubble wheels"

First thiing that came to mind...just wow. I'd be scared to be responsible for that. I've seen the triangle boxes ripped in half or tire tracks over them.
Second thing was how nice traditional tascarellas are, great cue.
.
If I shipped a Tasc to you in that triangle box and it got damaged.....I would be raked over the coals by you and this forum. The fact a top tier cue maker did it should not give him a free pass. These triangle boxes have been proven time and time again to be marginal at best.
I stand by my statement and I speak from experience. This box resulted in a cracked handle on a 1980's Runde Schon.

I agree with you entirely. Those boxes are shit...a hard tube box or even a piece of pvc pipe with a cap provide 100 times more protection for your cue. Especially when you spend as much as they charge for there "magic cues".
Those flimsy USPS triangle tubes are much thinner/weaker than the FedEx or UPS tubes. The Pete's must have had good luck with this method or they wouldn't be using it.
And by the way, that is one fantastic cue. Treasure it!
