Not Embarrassed/Not Bragging — the 5lb mug is a daily drinker; the 22lb mug is a conversation piece that needs two hands.

Novelty gifts and people who thought "22lb coffee mug" and did not talk themselves out of it.
Who should skip
Anyone who expected the 22lb mug to replace a normal cup without a second hand or a gym membership.

I just couldn't help myself. I saw this on Facebook and thought man, 22lb! With as much coffee, wine and whiskey I drink, I could get ripped in a week with that thing. Showed it Mrs. Questionable who was unimpressed, bought it anyways.
Shelled out the $189.99 for the 22lb Heavy* mug and for good measure added the 5lb mug for an additional $78.99. They were on back-order at the time, but when they finally arrived, the mugs were as advertised. High-quality craftsmanship, great conversation pieces and probably would make an amazingly memorable novelty gift.
I found the 22lb mug to be less practical, primarily because of the weight required a second hand to comfortably lift it to my lips without spilling everywhere (probably need to hit the gym a little bit more), but the 5lb mug is awesome and very usable as a daily drinker. If I could have my way, I'd like a 10lb mug with a larger liquid capacity, but I don't make-em, I just buy-em.
I've I was just reviewing the 5lb mug, this would have been a Four Star rating, but considering I shelled out the $189 for the 22lb mug, I've knocked it down to a Three Star. You can buy this with confidence, what you see is what you get.
Pros
- High-quality craftsmanship
- Great conversation piece
- The 5lb mug is usable every day
Cons
- The 22lb mug needs two hands
- $189.99 for the big one is a lot for a mug
