Accessorize your Charlie Benante Coffee with an Autographed Mug

Remember a while back we told you about the new Anthrax coffee from drummer, Charlie Benante? Now you can sip that Anthrax coffee with your very own 16oz. autographed mug!

Says Charlie: “Each autographed mug has a handwritten note from me. For example, ‘Drink Up’ or ”Mmmmmmm good.’ This is the same style mug that I drink my morning, afternoon and evening coffee from. It’s a tall, heavy mug with a full handle. The autographed cups are limited. We have unsigned cups as well. Just like Krusty brand products — the ink is permanent but washing it may cause the ink to come off.”
