Sigel-Varner Cues

[rogelioii]

Does anyone know the history of this queue? I bought this from a retail game room shop about 3 years back. I have not seen anyone with this brand of cue yet, and was wondering if it was discontinued and why? For those of you who have used it, what did you think of it? As of now, I have manually hardened an elk-master tip on it, and I think, overall, it hits "OK", i guess about 6.5/10.

I checked out Nick's website, but it seems to be under construction. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of his cues.

I'm not positively sure, but I think the Varner-Sigel cue may be, indeed, a rare one. Today, each player has their own line of cues, independent of the other. At one time when Varner moved to Florida, closeby to Mike Sigel, I think they were embarking on working together, but did not continue to fruition, for whatever reason.

I haven't been there in about a month...maybe more. I can't remember where, but there was another website that had some of Varner's cues. I'll look for it and put it up if I can find where I was before. Jam, I tried to reply to your PM, but your mailbox was full. GRRRR

The production cues made by Mike Sigel and Nick Varner are different than the Sigel/Varner cues. A while ago they used to be partners and had a series of Sigel/Varner cues. They were production cues but very well made. You dont see them often and some might consider them collectible to some extent. I shot with one a long time ago but sold it, I regret it but what can you do. It was a pretty solid cue. It would have been definitely a keeper.

The "sigel/varner" cues are made overseas and the production cues Mike Sigel sells are also made overseas, I believe they are made in china. Mike Sigel does sell custom cues which he makes at his shop in Orlando.

Hi Folks,

Before the advent of their cues from China, it was my understanding that Mike and Nick originally went to Viking to have their cues made. Many years ago, I remember Mike coming into Classic Billiards with a selection of Viking Cues for sale. A couple of locals bought them and still play with them daily. There is one new Sigel/Varner of that style for sale at Classic Billiards here in Rochester. Anyone interested please contact Jacky Vaccaro at 585 227 7400.

Was the cues that you seen a Mike Sigel custom cue or a Sigel cue made in China. Mike was at the Mid-West Expo last October with "his" custom cues that he made, not from China. They were all pretty sweet looking cues!

siegel cues

I have seen one Siegel cue lately, it was beautiful with turquouis diamond inlays...sticker price was about $2500.00 the Varner/Siegel is a production cue similiar in quality to that of a mid range viking. Solid hit, but nothing to write home about.
