I confess I am rather new on the scene of incense. I got a pack of this sandalwood as part of a package deal on Amazon, so I would receive free shipping. Sandalwood is one of the oldest and most common scents that you find in those strange little shops that sell this sort of stuff. It is definitely very pleasant and aromatic, and I recommend it for anyone that is either new to incense, or an old veteran that for whatever reason hasn't got around to trying this scent yet. If you bundle either enough of this, or with another pack of different incense, you will receive the free shipping. And thus avoid having to pay the higher price in those weired stores.

As for the other reviewers observation that this incense is a little harder to light, for what its worth, I tend to agree. I have 4 or 5 different brands here, and this one does indeed require a little more patience to get going. But it does eventually light, and the resulting aroma and atmosphere are well worth your patience being a virtue. Recommended...

I found these cones a little hard to light, but the scent is very nice and they burn for a long time.

DELISH!! nothing compares to this specific brand of sandalwood. once you have tried this extra rich formulation it will be had to go back to the normal "junk" out there. great, great product!!

These incense cones are some of the best I have ever used. They burn evenly and slowly so that the spicy Sandalwood scent permeates beautifully. It's a rich, but not overpowering fragrance that lingers even after the cone is expended.

There is barely any fragrance to these cones and they burn out quickly. I am very disappointed in this incense.

The stick version of Gonesh's incense is first class. The cone version should be even more effective as it can be used in burners. The fact that the cones will not continue to burn after ignition negates the product.

I agree with the other reviewers about the difficulty lighting these cones. After holding my lighter to the tip for almost 30 seconds I thought it was good to go. However, when I checked it awhile later I found that it had gone out. I just re-lit it on my stove and it seems to have "caught". Love the scent! Fast shipping! I ordered on Oct. 4th and received it today, Oct. 7th. It was packaged very securely. I paid $3.79 for 25 cones and Tom didn't charge shipping :) Thanks Tom!!

I agree that these are hard to light, but once you get them going they stay lit (unlike some other brands). Very pleasant fragrance and a little goes a long way. Couldn't be more pleased.

Pros: Good smell
Permeates well (if you get it to light)

Cons: Very hard to light
Doesn't stay lit for a long time
Seemed to burn out quick

This is an excellent incense, fragrant and long lasting. It is a bit difficult to light, but the use of an unscented candle or lighter will solve that problem. Once it builds a bed of ash, it burns completely. Makes the whole house smell good.
