this excellent mug has that good feeling in your hand. i don't know how else to say it. the stripes of blue and brown bring to mind the small boy now grown into the big man you are so proud of. only Out of the Woods could fill this mug with it's fresh green, slow-burning soy wax bringing eucalyptus and mint; pine and smoke. unchipped this mug has lots of life left after the candle is done.
