For the most part, these represent the common mugs found in Spain, though each bar will have their own unique selection. Not all bars have these mugs, though. The Mauna Loa in Madrid has a 100% different selection. You can probably pick out some more mugs from the Aloha bar in my main Barcelona thread if you're really interested. Trader Woody

He shouts: "Thar's GOLD, Ebay-gold that is, in them there shelves!" He then proceeds to check Orbitz for aifare to Spain....hmmm, is it cost-efective to travel with his mule? Leave the mule, take the cannoli, midnite
TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Fri, Mar 21, 2003 4:24 PM Well, I met a couple of Geordies (men from Newcastle)in a tobacconist's buying truly VAST amounts of cigarettes to sell back in the UK. (They cost about three times as much over here). Not only did they pay for their trip to Barcelona, they made serious money too. I've no doubt that it would be a similar scenario with these mugs and eBay. Saying that, these mugs are heavy buggers and the lazy smuggler would find life a lot easier just bringing back tobacco. Trader Woody PS. I'd have to first get the entire range for myself before getting hold of doubles for sale or trade....

TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Fri, Mar 21, 2003 4:48 PM Being in the EEC, you can take back as much cigarettes and booze from mainland Europe that you can prove are for your own use. These guys had very large suitcases full of many cartons of cigarettes, so they would have been busted if caught. The law is incredibly vague, though. 4 or 5 cartons of 10x packs probably would get through, but 10 cartons probably wouldn't. It's a fuzzy law. Hell, I still can't work out if smoking pot is legal/semi-legal/or illegal. You'd think they would give us a clue! Trader Woody

If it'll bring a hefty profit this capitalist is all over it. Heh heh. Always wanted to visit Spain too. Take in a bullfight...(is Franco still dead?). On a related note I heard Otto brought a bunch of mugs back from a trip to Spain. Those are some neat mugs. I saw "Midnight Express"... midnite

TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Thu, Mar 27, 2003 1:19 AM The Kahiki is another Tiki Bar in Barcelona. I hadn't my camera with me for that one, but Tiki Chris took some photos of it which he shared a couple of months back. I'm heading to Benidorm in November, which is a 100 miles or so away from Barcelona (I think....), so I might be persuaded to take a detour...... Trader Woody

TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Sat, Nov 6, 2004 2:02 AM I just posted this photo in a thread about the Mai Tai Bar in Benidorm, Spain, but thought it might be of interest to those into Spanish mugs. These were not for sale (or even use in the bar) but give a great idea of some of the Spanish mugs out there. Trader Woody

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Mon, Nov 22, 2004 2:27 PM Guys, I have my first shipment of mugs coming from the manufacturer. There are ten designs, and I will order different ones next time. Unfortunately they are not only expensive to begin with, but the shipping also almost doubled my cost. Because this is supposed to be my first money making Tiki endeavour, I cannot let them go for any less than around 50.- bucks, sorry. I also will put them on e-bay first to get my initial investment back pronto, and then can sell some to TCers who can afford such unique X-mas gifts (for themselves or others). I will do a seperate post as soon as I am set up to go into business...
