So when i bought my used Richard Benson cue it came with this case. It's all tooled leather and custom for the cue (it has 2 specific slots for each of the 32" shafts 1 slot for the normal shaft). I believe it to be some random leather workers item but I could be wrong. The lid latch is like a belt buckle and it has "nacho" in bead work on the strap. Any ideas on who could have possibly made this?

It looks like a Nacho Libre original. :sorry:

Didn't JB Customs make a line of 7 Eleven Tribute Cases including the "Nacho" "Slurpee" & "Big Bite" models? :sorry: again.

I can say for sure it's Nacho Mamas case. :groucho: Is this getting lame yet?

On a serious note, I think it's quite a nice case.
 
killin me

You guys are killing me. LOL. The first thing I thought was "nacho mama's" case. Only person I can find that goes by "nacho" ig chaves aka Jesse perilla (no clue if I spelled any of that correctly) but i got the case in Washington state and i think that guy is on the east coast. Probably some local over here that also goes by nacho tho. Oh well thanks for the jokes.
 
there was a guy here in spokane named "nacho" that passed on a little while back .i didnt know him personally but just about everybody here knew who he was.he used to play alot out of "the 7th rail".i bet scott gracio would know if it was his or not.
maybe ill show the pics around and see if anyone else knows.

There's a player nicknamed Nacho here in ABQ also, I think its a common nickname for Ignasio. Very nice case, lots of care went into it, I like the roses. Nacho usual case. (couldn't resist, sry)
:p
 
A friend of mine has a really nice Basket Weave case made by the same person. It is easy to tell the maker because of the way the lid straps on and the stitching is the same.

I asked if he knew who made it and he could only remember that the guy was selling them out of a pool hall in Spokane.

He also thinks the guy was a saddle maker with a side interest in cue cases.
