While it's not my favortie - I was thinking the same as Hakalugi that Tiki Bob is it.

I also 100% concur with Agent 86 agreement of Hakalugis submission.
And before I posted the Don, I also thought about posting Tiki Bob, but something stopped me from choosing "him". lol...Personally, I'm just not dying or vying to own this mug, even as iconic as it is, and I sorta suspect I'm not the only one. It has its provenance, it is technically tiki, but does everyone want or need this in their collection? Hard to tell...I guess same can be said about Don the Beachcomber mug too...

I would guess that whatever is the "Grail" of tiki mugs would be the pick, because really, Who doesn't want a holy grail(or Pièce de Résistance) in their own collections? The grail would be the track-proven, consistant top dollar seller, or a mug that never sells less than a minimum of a few hundred dollars or more, combined with a mass appeal and rarity factor...(looking for Sven, Holden or Bosko to chime in with their knowledge or thoughts on this)
