Candle by the Hour 80-Hour Vertical Candle, Eco-Friendly Natural Beeswax with Cotton Wick

So deliciously fragrant, even unlit, that you'll think you actually live inside a beehive.

Good present

This is advertised as beeswax and it is nothing of the kind - it is the same off-white stuff that cheap penny candles are made of. It also stinks to high heaven which is not surprising as the box states "RED CINNAMON" - and that is NOT mentioned in the description.

Smells authentic very strong bee wax smell, we bought it as a gift and they loved it.

OMG this is gorgeous. I love everything about it.

So unique, but turns out to be a style that’s hundreds of years old! So unique that I bought one each for my adult children for Xmas. I really like the way that it goes out on its own when the candle burns down to the metal holder.

My first time to burn I pulled up 1.5" (measured) to check on the burn time. Three inches is supposed to burn in one hour, so 1.5" would burn 30 minutes. I'm a beekeeper and I do make candles and sell them but I can't make these specialized candles. I love this antique idea of having a courtship candle. Back in the day, the parents would set the candle length for the burn time. Then the suitor would visit and then when the candle self-snuffs, it's his time for him to leave. These courtship candles self snuff whereas the wrought iron ones burn by the hour but don't snuff. Being beeswax, depending on where you live, if the wax is cold it can break when you pull on it but it'll heat up incredibly quickly just from the heat of your fingers. So if you wrap your fingers around the wax for just a few seconds before you pull it up that will prevent breakage. It burned with a nice flame with no drafts which will speed up burn time. I didn't order the glass cylinder, mostly because I know beeswax burns better with lots of access to oxygen. The unit is about 10" tall. The copper is lovely and the whole thing looks well made. The candle burned for 35 minutes and then self-snuffed. So it was 5 minutes more than the estimate. Love this old fashioned candle.
