Review on 🌲 Paine's Red Cedar Real Wood Incense Set - 32 Cones With Holder by Victor Pinckney

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great smell, false advertising. waste of money.

As previously mentioned this product is a fail. The "bumps" are actually small grooves pressed into solid bars of fused wood particles. I emphasize that they do not have deep notches and are easy to disassemble. They're barely serrated, and no matter how I try, they require more force to separate than the wood particles can handle, causing them to crumble and form partial cones at best. I've tried shoving with a knife, sawing carefully with a serrated blade, and just snapping my fingers. They burn really well and smell great. The aroma is really just burning wood reminiscent of a fireplace, which is what I wanted. All the other cones I've bought smell like they've been scented with perfume. But the way they're prepared makes them virtually useless. And there is no guide that can suggest the right way to successfully separate the cones. I've included a photo of them next to a competitor brand with real skittles for comparison.
