Review on Shoyeido's Golden Pavilion Incense 450 Sticks - Kin-kaku: Experience the Luxurious Aroma of Japanese Tradition! by Wendy Washington

Unfortunately, pictures don't tell the whole story. The packaging is impressive, but the contents are an absolute disappointment. I was expecting a standard length of 11 inches, but got a length of around 5.5 inches. To add salt to the injury, the diameter was slightly larger than a toothpick, if that. Nowhere in Revain's details or on the packaging is the size indicated. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew the size is so small, not to mention there is no stick in the middle. I think most of the blame has to go to Revain for not checking the sizing carefully and not putting it on their website.
