I originally bought a small tin of this candle in Monterey, CA and once I got home from my vacation I had to purchase a larger candle. The sad thing is I bought it less than 3 months ago and I have already burnt through the 60 hours of burn time...IT SMELLS THAT GOOD!

You will not be sorry if you buy this scent.
It is masculine, yet feminine all at the same time.

I'm no stranger to candles...trimming wicks, not over burning... this particular candle has been putting out more smoke than scent... not real happy

I first discovered this candle several years ago, in a little shop in Coconut Grove, FL. The colour beckoned me with its rich, deep leather tone, almost black, but not quite. The scent was neither perfumy nor floral, but more on the woodsy side without smelling musky like a man's cologne. I was hooked. I've gone through a few of these candles since then. It's a long-lasting, aromatic candle, the scent of which will permeate and meander beyond its immediate confine. So if you're looking for a subtle, well behaved and mild-mannered scent, this product is not for you: It even wafts nicely when it's not lit. All told, if Ernest Hemingway were a candle, he would be the Archipelago Botanicals candle, and definitely Havana-scented.

Love this candle. I hate all the delicate smelling candles my wife has. This one smells manly and I use it regularly in my game room. Expensive but worth it

I love the smell of this candle. It's unique and really hard to describe, but it's scent is one of a kind!

The tobacco in this is quite nice, but it is overwhelmed by a bright, high pitched bergamot that induced headaches in me every time I burned it. The candle was lovely to look at and I wanted to enjoy it, but in the end I couldn't tolerate it and had to give it away. If you're sensitive to high pitched fragrances, you might want to skip this one.

These are the best candles out there! The aroma that the produce is very concentrated. This particular scent is extremely masculine but in a pleasant manner. They burn very clean BUT you do have to trim the wick VERY short to prevent smoking. I thought I had trimmed the wick too short as it was right down to the wax, but it lit without incident. Have bought more for gifts and for my home. If you like this scent you will love Stonehenge.

We buy Archepelago candles every year. This scent is a great one. Very sensuous. It makes you want to smoke a cigar and put on some jazz.

I will agree that these are smokey candles, but the scent is worth it.

This is a great smelling candle. I keep it in the bathroom and it smells great. What's great is that other candles burn in the middle and you waste a lot of wax from the sides but this burns through and through. This is a great smelling candle for both men and women, it is a tad expensive but it is value! you will love it
