I currently have linnen on mine, but want to try changing back to leather as soon as I can make the trip and get it done.
 
Either is okay, but gasket material cork gives linen or all leathers the 6 ball in terms of feel. With leather I hate the embossed cowhide, but like the smoothly textured pigskin or real smooth calfskin. No wrap cues, even sneaky petes, with high gloss automotive finish aren't for me (or Efren--had masking tape wrap on wrapless cue!). A sneaky with a lacquer finish is what I like.

Hey Juston,

It might be a good idea to edit the poll (if that is possible) and add "Wrapless" to the list.
If cost wasn't an issue (which would mean getting a insane figured wrapless handle) i would go fishing with the Irish Linen, and use the leather for toilet paper.
:p
:D

Why do you like textured on one and smooth on the other? What about cowhide, smooth or textured?

Well they are my favorites. I think Lizard runs a close second to the boars texture. The kangaroo is a great alternative to the smooth cowhide with a slightly spongier feel. Its very close to the Szamboti leather wrap I have.

Linen is at the bottom of my list, unless it's (gasp) finished over ala Meucci.

Not a big fan of textured leathers either, but smooth leather is ok.

My preference for both feel and looks is wrapless.
 
hey jon.....i can appreciate a wrapless cue but those are kind of hard to do after a cue has been built with a wrap bed in it....thats only a option you can get when a cue is new unless as you well know you have a cue re-built with a wrap section like that.......this poll is to address cues that have already been wrapped with linen or leather......but i appreciate the sweetness of a wrapless cue....take care my friend, juston
