Stamford Black Incense 144, 12 Cones Sampler Pack (Mixed Variety Box), One Size

Unlike some, that only last 10 minutes or so. These cones gave us at least 20 minutes of a good, ambient supply of sweet smelling smoke. The burn also lasts until the whole cone is used, as long as you get it properly lit to start. Good value for money.

Consistently good product. smell great and nice packaging. Usually arrive quickly too. Have bought many times!

Usually these all tend toend up smelling the same. These were all pretty distinctive, weirdly matching the fantasy names. Really enjoyed, burn time as expected, but beautiful smells so far, carries through the house. Will definitely purchase again.

I have just started to burn incense, loving the childhood memories it brings back to me. I have used a few varieties of Stamford incense sticks (Dragon’s Blood being my favourite so far), but I wanted to try the cones as well. Seeing as these were at a good price for this selection box I went ahead and purchased them for my pyramid incense burner. I got twelve boxes of 12 cones, one box of each scent. I love the mystical names of them, such as Dragon’s Fire, Werewolf’s Bite, Pixie’s Dance, and my favourite name – Goblin’s Lair. As I type this, I have lit one of the Goblin’s Lair cones and it’s burning away behind me. The first thing I noticed was how smoky they are; they give off a lot more smoke than the sticks do. I have attached a couple of pictures to this review so that you can see for yourself. I was a bit alarmed by the amount of smoke and I opened the lid of the burner a couple of times just to check that it was actually the wooden burner itself smouldering. But no, it was just the cone. I guess that the cones have more surface area to burn than the sticks, due to their shape, so perhaps that is why there is more smoke. I also got a little concerned that it would set off my smoke detector, so I turned that off whilst burning the cone. Saying that though, it didn’t fill the room with smoke as it seems to disperse quickly, so it probably wouldn’t have set it off. The cone lasted for about 15 minutes.When I opened the box that the 12 boxes came in it smelt like a box of soap, and that’s probably the best way I can describe the scents of these cones – soapy. Not the traditional “joss stick” incense smell I get with the Dragon’s Blood stick.I liked the scent of Goblin’s Lair as it burned. The description states it’s a cinnamon scent, but I couldn’t detect it as that.I notice that Stamford sell Dragon’s Blood cones so I may get some of them next, but I will certainly use these incense cones; I’ll probably use them in the bathroom if they all have that soapy smell. I am not disappointed in these cones, they are really good and seem to be of a good quality – though, if I am honest, I am not sure how to tell a good quality cones from a poor quality one. I have read reports on the internet that suggest that burning incense cones may be injurious to health. I do find that I get a dry throat when burning in cense cones and sticks, so I always make sure I have a glass of water to hand when burning them.

For the first time.. incense that all actually smell different. Even if I did only really like about four out of the bunch. Recommend

I actually love the scents of the incense cones they provide, but was very sad to see that after so many years of ordering with them, this time there were 2 boxes that came with only 3 incense cones instead of 12!! I have always recommended them to others but I'm not so sure anymore.

Great smelling cones, good burn, easy to light. Every time I order this box there are new cones to try out and they're always amazing. Price is a steal for what you get from them. Offers your room or house a great mood, nice for relaxation. I've attached pictures of the box along with a new scent included, 'Moon Angel'. Beautiful scent btw.These cones are not backflow cones, the smoke rises from the tip of the burn, so buy accordingly to the stand you burn the incense on. If you're just getting into incense, avoid the faffing around and just grab these and a simple stand to burn on, you won't be disappointed.Overall, best cones you can buy, from the best company to buy from.I know small business sometimes grab these to burn in their shops, I wish I had a shop of my own to burn these in, I'd probably be full to the brim of customers from the scent of these alone.Greatly recommend.

This is wonderfully packaged and interesting to hold... cones burn fairly fast bit the smells are individual and distinct... this is the 2nd time I've ordered this... amazing value and interesting personalities.
