This is a mug based on the original matchbook from the Tropics Motel featuring a big tiki torch sticking out the side of a Bumatay style tiki in the illustration.

Contrary to speculation, the torch is not a "bong/waterpipe stem".

As a special tribute to Tiki Caliente, Shag also recreated the Tropics Motel matchbooks and designed them to be the "60th Anniversary" Tiki Mugs' Certificate of Authenticity.
