New Guinea buying trip for Hale Tiki - Collecting Tiki

What they will see is an exotic place, far removed from anything else they have in Augusta. The bottom line is really a certain look and feel that is somewhat intangible or quantifyable. Myself, I like my bar to have a bit or dark savage mystery. The "I survived a meeting with the savages and brought back this ____" So it also gets to be somewhat eclectic too. The nautical stuff is apart of it as it requires a good deal of time onboard a vessel to get to these remote places.
