Design is from the Frankoma War God mug, I don't have the mug most unfortunately but used pictures from both "The Book of Tiki" by Sven A. Kirsten and "Tiki Quest" by Duke Carter, both have excellant examples of the very cool mug.

I do believe that if this were made large enough for (at least) a dozen large gauge cigars, and could be carved from or lined with Spanish Cedar, you may have something there for fellow TC'ers significant other to get for their partner. Better get to carving! Christmas will be here sooner than you think! photos by Sabu Enter The SoCal Hoity Toity Schedule [ Edited by: SugarCaddyDaddy on 2004-04-21 23:12 ]
