I have owned a Pechaure for a little over a month now, and I like the cue. It's the Ltd. 09, Ebony wood, 8 Ivory points in the forearm & 8 in the butt, solid Ivory joint, solid Ivory butt cap, Ivory ferrules. The only thing I don't like is, that the shafts are real heavy and brings the balance point to 21" from the butt cap, very forward balanced. Good quality made cue in my opinion.
