Cognoscenti Cues

Cognoscenti (COG-CM) - 2005 “Di Fiore” 4 points curly maple, ebony, silver, new unplayed condition

One of the Cognoscenti signature designs, this is a 2005 cue created by Joe Gold. Cognoscenti cues have been hard to come by in recent years due to their popularity with Japanese collectors; they have been even rarer since Joe closed his Chicago shop last year. Until he re-opens it, this is one of the few opportunities to buy a new Cognoscenti cue in the U.S.

The Gabon ebony forearm and butt sleeve each have four floating points of curly maple in the `Di Fiore' (flower) design, separated by silver pinstripe and ivory spearhead inlays. The fancier version of the Cognoscenti sterling silver and ebony ringwork decorates the cue at A, B, C, D & E. Each ring has 30 pieces of sterling silver inside silver rings. There are a total of 168 pieces of silver inlay in this cue. The flat-faced black linen phenolic joint has the G-10 epoxy joint screw first introduced by Joe Gold. The G-10 glass epoxy joint pin is one of the reasons why Cognoscenti cues are known for their great hit, as well as their elegant look. It is finished with a black with white speck Irish linen wrap, and a black linen phenolic butt cap. 100% new, unplayed condition.

(2) 13mm straight-taper, matched 3-5/8 oz. shafts with melamine ferrules and Triangle tips (unchalked). A complete set of joint protectors is included.

Butt weight: 15-5/8 oz. Weight: 19 oz. Length: 57.5 inches.

This is a gorgeous cue at a great price. The regular retail price for this cue is $4,475.
