I just received my copy of the SMUGGLER'S COVE book. While I haven't spent much time with it, I couldn't help but be completely smitten by the mug on the front cover! I also see the same mug featured prominently in this thread's photos. As much as I would adore a visit to Smuggler's Cove in person, living on the east coast, a trip out west isn't financially feasible at the moment. I would still like to buy one of the awesome mugs, though. Is there any way I can do that online? My growing mug collection and I thank you, fellow TCers!

I might be able to help if they aren't doing the book tour near you where you can get the book edition...are you local to any mugs you would want to trade for a smugglers cove?

That is a very generous offer! Thank you, TongaT. Sadly, I don't believe I'm local to any tiki temples. I even missed the book tour stop in NJ a month or two ago. Since I'm also just getting into collectors' tiki mugs, I only have a few generic Tiki Farm items in my possession.

I did search eBay for the Smuggler's Cove mug, as others have recommended, but the only listing there would have set me back well over $100. That's a but rich for my blood.

Does anyone know how much the actual mug costs when you buy it in person at Smuggler's Cove? Knowing the retail price might actually help me figure out if any listings on eBay are fair or not. Though, some might say that a $100 dollar tiki mug IS a fair price - a bargain even - compared to the cost of airfare and a hotel to actually visit Smuggler's Cove. LOL!
