As soon as I opened the box, I knew I'd been had.
The seller claims these are raw, beeswax pillars, but in fact they are very light candles made from rolled up sheets of honeycomb-imprinted wax (rather than only textured that way on the exterior). The only place this is noted is if you zoom in on the label on the candles - it's not in the actual description.
So, there's in fact very little bulk to the candle - there's a lot of air, and not a lot of wax. The burntime I achieved was about 14-16 hours on the one that didn't have structural problems holding together (compared to about 90hrs for a comparable raw beeswax pillar of similar dimensions).
The quality of the wax itself was disappointing. Instead of the nice, clean scent of raw beeswax, it smelled stale, like it had somehow been imbued with the musty odor of an abandoned attic or mildewed woodshed. The color is much darker than in the photos - a dull brown.
To use such misleading information to sell such a poor quality product (you could make better ones with your kid as a craft project) at such an exorbitant price... Ouch - but "fool me once," you know.
I hope my experience helps others to avoid the same outcome.
