I need to own one and but it takes a lot of bucks for a Szamboti. I'm saving. I'm sure one day I will have a Gus or a Barry gotta love those beautiful cues. For the people that have one thanks for sharing as my mouth starts to drooling.
Two great cues that anyone would love to own. Maybe it is just me but even the simplest Szamboti's have a unique look to them that just scream pure player.
Nice Barrys Chris. Can i have one since you have two? lol
Bob was born in Chicago in 1942 @ raised on a farm in Monmouth Ill. Wish i could make the show Chris.

The ebony nosed cue is quite a rare prize. How often do you see an ebony nosed Szamboti? How often do you see an ebony nosed Szamboti that is not ebony on ebony? I owe a big thank you to a few people For this cue. First is Ken Carfagno, Who personally brought the Red Nara wood back from Thailand. Barry Szamboti, for turning out such a great cue. Jeremy Edwards, for putting this cue in my hands. I would also like to thank Vinniebabarooch. Yes Vinniebabarooch. Who gave me the heads up on the cue. Vinniebabarooch has made an offer on this cue everyday since I got it. He just hasn't hit the right numbers yet. Lol. I'm going to quote Ken Kerner on this one "If you are lucky enough to have an ebony forearm 4 point cue from Barry or his dad, you know they've only been made Ebony on Ebony". I believe this is the 3rd cue with an ebony nose and a different wood for the points. This is a fantastic cue that gets played with very often. Yes, very often. I hope everyone enjoys the pics as much as I enjoy the cue. Big Chris.
