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.
Special release during Mucho Caliente on July 20th at Noon.
