Well the snap on rep dropped me a couple of gifts off today and I'm really chuffed with the mug he's given me. Everyone said I was due another and I should retire my old one. I'm loathed to part with my old one we've seen some adventures together
The reason the cup is slightly grubby is because I was fed up with people stealing my mug and that's how to stop petty thievery. Nice patina. Coffee probably won't taste as good till you break in the new one. Cheers I'm British so tea is my tipple but you are correct the taste is sublime in a seasoned mug, I do believe there's a cure for Ebola lurking around in it.
