Thats the wonderful thing about cue, you get to try sooooo many ways,
woods, types of food, sides, it's almost endless. And you get to meet
all sorts of people that also love cue. And if your a cue lover, you
can't be all bad! LOL

I also found that most cue lovers also love beer! Whats' not to love!

I think over time you tend to stick with what you like and what works
for you. That said, there is always something to learn about cue
